Don’t miss this experience
Was a little nervous about this tour beforehand as we’d been asked to sign waivers then they didn’t respond to my questions. However, we had a great time, the single person kayaks were easy to manoeuvre and there were 5 guides with our group of 15, so it felt really safe.
We didn’t paddle under the bridge (probably too many boats) but the guides took loads of photos with the bridge and opera house in the background and more with the sunset.
There are pockets on their life jackets to store phones etc, and other belongings can be left in their van for the duration of the trip.
We had a great evening.
Operator response
Thank you so much for taking the time to share such a detailed review, Brenda. We’re really glad to hear that despite some initial nerves, you ended up having a great evening on the water 😊
Safety is always our top priority, so it’s lovely to hear you felt well looked after by the guides and comfortable in the single kayaks. Our sunset sessions follow a slightly different route to our morning paddles, and while we don’t paddle under the Harbour Bridge in the evening, we always make sure there are plenty of opportunities for photos with the Harbour Bridge and Opera House as a stunning backdrop.
Thank you again for joining us and for the recommendation — it truly means a lot to our team.

A very enjoyable experience to see the Sydney Harbour
Good to be physically fit to participate but Adrian and Po are very helpful, so no need to fear if you never kayaked before. Beginner friendly.

Sunset at harbour
It was an amazing experience. Watching the sunset from the middle of the water, with the Harbour Bridge and Opera House in the background, was truly unforgettable.

Had a blast!
This was an amazing experience i had with my girlfriend and would absolutely recommend it to everyone we were on different kayaks didn’t know one could book double kayak which seats 2 people in it. Would have gone for it as my girlfriend was little slow to learn and the staff helped her out by towing her and giving her extra tips and tricks which i envy her for 😂 and the instructor/guide were amazing very patient and helpful would love to go again and im even thinking of kayaking/paddling as a regular activity.
Operator response
Thank you very much for taking the time to write us this lovely review, we're so glad you both had a great time.
Kind regards,

Amazing experience
I had a great time with Sydney Kayak Experience!
I did the sunset session and I really enjoyed it.
The guys are very nice, everything was well organized and one of the guide had the speakers on his kayak so we could enjoyed the sunset view with background music 😍
I highly recommend these tours! 😊
