Excellent adventure and newbie friendly
I have never been kayaking before, so this was my first time the guides, Chad and Beau were amazing. They were very encouraging and attentive. This being my first time there were opportunities where I had to be towed back to the group but they were very patient and kind about it. I would highly recommend this for people who want to try kayaking but are scared. Beau and Chad are the best and encourage you to push yourself. Shoutout to Beau for helping me through the journey you deserve the best man!

Thank you so much for sharing this! We’re especially happy to hear that your very first kayaking experience was such a positive one. Chad and Beau are all about making sure everyone feels comfortable, supported and able to enjoy themselves at their own pace. Huge shoutout to Beau for helping you through the journey! You should be proud of yourself for giving it a go and pushing through those challenging moments. Hopefully this is the first of many paddles for you!

It’s a must do experience
I absolutely loved this experience and highly recommend as a must do activity. I was staying at Darling Harbour and the location was really easy to get to with a quick ferry over to Milsons point from Circular Quay. Then just a short walk round to the lovely, peaceful area of Lavender Bay. On arrival, Chad and Tom, our tour guides for the evening, explained everything and made us all feel safe and looked after throughout and took plenty of photos for us to look back at. This was a truly memorable experience and an absolute highlight of my Australian adventure. I would highly recommend this for something different to do and is a truly unique experience. Big thanks to Chad and Tom for giving up their public holiday to take us out- you were both brilliant.
Operator response
Thank you for such a beautiful review! We’re so glad the sunset paddle became one of the highlights of your Australian adventure. Lavender Bay is such a special little spot, and seeing Sydney Harbour from the water makes it even better. Chad and Tom will really appreciate your kind words, especially the public holiday shoutout! It was a pleasure having you with us, and we hope those photos bring back some great memories for years to come.
