The experience

The same iconic route. No early alarm.

Not everyone wants a pre-dawn start — and the harbour is just as impressive at 8:00 am. The Morning Kayak Tour follows the same city-side route as our sunrise departure, in clear, bright morning light.

You'll launch from a sheltered spot at Elizabeth Bay, paddle through calm water, and head directly toward the Sydney Opera House and the Harbour Bridge.

Your guide will take you past Garden Island, around Fort Denison, and into some of the most stunning viewpoints on the harbour — all within a small, friendly group.

No experience is needed. We brief everyone before we launch and our guides are with you the entire way — and you'll be back with plenty of day left ahead of you.

What to expect

Your two hours on the water.
