Sunrise Serenity Kayak Tour of Sydney Harbour

We had a great experience with Kayaking Sydney. Jack was a great tour guide, lovely way to start the morning!

Matt and Jack did a great job communicating with the group before we entered the water and then once we were in the kayaks. Being in the Harbor early in the morning was quite magical. Highly recommend this experience!

Amazing experience!! Definitely recommend these guys to do it. Chad and Matthew took care of us very well and made sure everyone was safe and have the most fun!

Great guides. Small group which made the experience more enjoyable. We really liked that photos were taken and provided to us at the end.

Highlight of our trip! Myself and my partner went to Sydney for a weekend get away, this was our fave activity! We saw Sydney in the best light, it was peaceful and so beautiful at sunrise. You do need to have good arm strength and not mind getting damp.

Amazing experience. Chad was our guide and the team was great. A must if you visit Sydney. They took great photos for us.

Great fun activity for travellers and locals! Easy exercise in stunning surroundings. A memorable experience.

After I booked the tour, the operator reached out to me and asked if I wanted a tandem kayak as there was one left. I replied yes. A day prior to the experience, our guide reached out to remind us of our show time which was 06:15 in the morning as it was a sunrise kayak trip. The booking itself says 05:45, and I reached out to confirm the time. I appreciated the communication. My husband and I woke up early and called an Uber as it was the easiest way to get to the meeting point. Fifteen minutes by car versus almost an hour via public transit. As soon as we got to the park, there were several other guys there to make sure we were at the right spot. We waited twenty minutes for everyone else to show up which turned out to be about fifteen total people or so. If you are wearing shoes or have a backpack, the guide provides a basket where you can place them and locks them up in his vehicle. I would recommend showing up in sandals/flip-flops and have a towel. The guide also provides life vests. The tour was very organized as there are several guys helping with the launch. They hold the kayaks for you to step in. During our paddle, everyone on the team took photos for the participants. There are plenty of photo opportunities, and it was an easy paddle because there wasn’t much wind. If you haven’t paddled before, you can be towed by a team member. I’d say we paddled about a mile before reaching the best area to watch the sunrise. It was a spectacular view which was enhanced by Sydney Harbor’s beauty. We then paddled back to the launch point where we were helped out of the kayaks. You will probably get a little wet here! If the guide used his phone for your photos, he will send them to you. The ferries started running after we got back, and the best way back to the city is by taking the ferry to Circular Quay. The wharf is a five minute walk away from the launch point. I enjoyed how convenient that was. It was very well-planned and gave us a unique experience in Sydney. What a spectacular way to end our visit!

Arriving at the Harbour in the dark and standing in awe as the daylight started seeping through the clouds was simply breathtaking. What made it even more incredible was gliding across the water in a kayak. Loved every second of this experience, thank you!!

Sunrise kayaking was such an amazing experience 🌅 The guides were so kind and made everything feel easy and fun—they even took as many pictures as we wanted, which I loved! The views were absolutely beautiful, and the timing was perfect. Not too long, not too short. Highly recommend if you’re looking for something peaceful but memorable! It is a bit of a work out, but worth it.
