Sunrise Tour
Sunrise Kayak Tour
Paddle toward the Opera House as Sydney wakes up. The harbour at sunrise is something you'll never forget.
A specific magic, just before sunrise.
There's a specific magic that happens in Sydney Harbour just before sunrise. The water is flat, the city is quiet, and the sky starts shifting from deep blue to orange and pink over the Opera House.
Our Sunrise Kayak Tour puts you right in the middle of it. You'll launch from a sheltered spot at Elizabeth Bay, paddle through calm water, and head directly toward two of the most iconic structures in the world — 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. If it's your first time in a kayak, you're in the right place. We brief everyone before we launch and our guides are with you the entire way.
