The Single kayaks that we provide are very easy to paddle, smooth through the water and moderately stable. The deluxe single kayaks are made of lightweight materials like Kevlar, or carbon fiber.

Perfect autumn day, great friends, quality kayaks and the super knowledeable guide Angela made it a fabulous day. Thanks Ange!
Thank you for your wonderful review. It sounds like you ticked all the boxes for a perfect day on Middle Harbour—beautiful autumn conditions, great friends and some time exploring Sydney's spectacular waterways by kayak. I'm especially pleased to hear that Angela helped make the experience so memorable. Her local knowledge, enthusiasm and passion for paddling are always appreciated by our guests, and I'll be sure to pass on your kind words to her. Thank you for choosing Sydney Harbour Kayaks. We look forward to welcoming you back for another great day on the water soon. Kind regards, Shannon O'Brien Sydney Harbour Kayaks
Excellent 3 hr training and guidance. The guide was so helpful, full of useful tips and very supportive. I am 64 and this was my first kayak experience. I'll be back.
Thank you for your wonderful review. I'm especially pleased to hear that your first kayaking experience was such a positive one. Taking up a new activity at 64 is something to be proud of, and kayaking is one of the best lifetime sports available. It offers excellent cardiovascular fitness, core strength, balance and flexibility, all while being very low impact on the joints. One of the things I love most about kayaking is that age is rarely a barrier. We regularly see paddlers in their 60s, 70s and beyond enjoying time on the water, exploring beautiful places and staying active in a way that is both enjoyable and sustainable. It's fantastic that you found the training and guidance helpful, and that our instructor was able to provide the support and encouragement needed to build your confidence on the water. Thank you for choosing Sydney Harbour Kayaks and for giving kayaking a go. I hope this is just the beginning of many years of paddling adventures, and we look forward to welcoming you back onto Middle Harbour soon. Kind regards, Shannon O'Brien Sydney Harbour Kayaks
I had an amazing time during my 3-hour beginner kayaking lesson! It was my first time, and I initially found paddling a bit challenging, but Jacob explained the techniques and gave helpful tips. We also got to paddle around and enjoy the beautiful beach and bridge. By the end, I felt much more confident. Thanks! :)
Thank you for sharing your experience! I’m so glad to hear that your beginner kayaking lesson was both fun and confidence-building. Jacob is fantastic at helping newcomers feel comfortable on the water, and it sounds like you had a wonderful time exploring the beautiful beach and bridge. We’d love to see you back for more paddling adventures anytime! Warm regards, The Sydney Harbour Kayaks Team
What an incredible morning with Kate. The sights were jaw dropping beautiful. We learned about the history of the harbour while paddling around. Kate even took photos for us and air dropped them at the end. We stopped on a beautiful beach for tea with an incredible selection of food. Kate and her husband really know kayaking and know the area. They even have their own brand of special made kayaks. You need to incorporate this excursion in your agenda!
Thank you very much for your lovely review of your kayaking experience with Kate. I am so glad that it was a wonderful experience Best Regards Shannon Managing Director
The kayaks were really good quality! The staff were helpful and cheerful too. Loved cruising past the millionaire’s boats, under the bridge then connecting with nature in the bays.
Hi Tania, thank you very much for your review of our ECO Tour, I am happy to read, that it was a lovely day for you and you enjoyed our equipment. We do hope to see you again.
Great views, equipment and assistance. It was helpful to be informed about best route for the conditions, which involved moderate breeze
Three hours kayaking very nice because the sea was calm. Choose the interior (left side of the deck) over the sea side if you prefer calm and you have children who will not paddle for fear of discovering new muscles. Sharks are present in the area (fin sighted) . The places to stop are easy to reach after an hour of kayaking.
Thank you so much for your review. Just so you know that sharks are extremely rare in this area, however there are a lot of dolphins and this is the fin, that you probably saw. I hope we get to see you again. Regards Shannon
Sydney Kayaks situated in Sydney's Middle Harbour is a perfect launching pad to explore Sydney Harbour. The water was calm and the day we paddled, the autumn weather was beautiful. The guide was professional and gave confidence even for those in the group who had never kayaked before. I would recommend this tour for both local and international travellers.
