Overview

This three-hour paddle starts at 07:00 on the grass at Quibaree Park in Lavender Bay, between the park's two beaches. After a safety briefing, the group heads out onto Sydney Harbour, taking in views of the Sydney Opera House and Sydney Harbour Bridge and paddling through nearby coves before arriving at Thelma & Louise Café for breakfast.

Breakfast at Thelma & Louise Café is included, at a spot overlooking the water. Several travellers describe the food as delicious and beautifully presented, and some single the café out as a favourite part of the morning. After eating, the group paddles back to the same meeting point, with complimentary photos included in the package.

The tour is capped at 12 travellers. Reviewers say the instruction covers getting in and out of the kayaks and how to paddle, and one reported an eight-year-old completing the tour. It is not wheelchair accessible, the operator advises against it for people with back problems or serious heart conditions, and a moderate level of fitness is expected. Hotel pickup and drop-off are not included.

What To Expect From The Tour

A few practical points will help the morning run smoothly, from what the guide messages beforehand to how the weather can change the plan.

  • Read pre-tour messages. One reviewer reported the guide sent messages during the week covering what to wear, what to bring, timings and the meeting place. The meeting point is on the grass between the two beaches at Quibaree Park.
  • Beginners are fine. The kayaks are twin models, stable and easy to handle, according to reviewers.
  • Fitness and pace. The listing asks for a moderate level of physical fitness and advises against the tour for travellers with back problems or serious heart conditions. Reviewers say the tour can be done without any kayaking experience.
  • Ferry traffic. Reviewers noted the guide keeps the group well away from the ferries and is attentive to safety on the water.
  • Weather changes plans. The tour requires good weather and may be cancelled in poor conditions, with a different date or a full refund offered. One reviewer paddled in wind and chop and still enjoyed it.
  • Photos included. Complimentary photos are part of the package, so there is no need to risk a phone on the water.

Weather can also force a cancellation, since the experience requires good conditions, and one reviewer described a windy, choppy morning. Hotel pickup and drop-off are not included, and personal expenses are the traveller's own. The tour is not wheelchair accessible and is not recommended for people with back problems.
