Guided Kayak Tour Of Manly Cove Beaches

Great experience! Was nice to see a few different beaches and learn some history as well. Tour guide was great!

Great activity for a morning. The coves were lovely. Our guide did a great job with the group. Thanks for the boat ride back against the wind!

Experienced guide and a fun outing. Helpful when the sea was choppy … (I’m older so extra support was needed and was provided!) Informative about the Quarantine bay history.

It was a little confusing at first upon arrival however, once we started everything was great! There was only a few of us which made the tour go smoothly, and the staff was very friendly. I will say though that if it is your first time kyaking, defintely pair up with someone who's semi-experience because the waves during the day I went were pretty bumpy.

Great day! Beautiful beaches with some interesting histories. Kayaking route was not difficult either :)

This was good fun! If you aren’t used to kayaking it isn’t the easiest so bear this in mind and do a 2 seater one if you can to share the task. Went to some lovely spots and finished with the Q station. Hannah, our guide, was friendly and knowledgable! She provided us with a nice drink and little cake snack on one of the beaches which was well received! The kids were a bit tired so we opted for a boat ride back and the lady who drove the boat gave us some lovely information on other beaches we could walk to after the tour for the afternoon. This was a lovely suggestion! Thank you!

It’s fun and informative; excellent guide (Jackson) who was very supportive of less confident kayakers.

Our guide Will was very friendly, it was a good day out would definately do again when back in Sydney / Manly.

This was a very memorable experience! The weather wasn't great but I still really enjoyed the beautiful beaches near Manly. Hannah and Tristan were great too! They guided everyone so well that even a newbie like me was able to get into the rhythm and feel confident by the end of the tour. Hannah even gave us some of the history and trivia about the places we visited which added a lot of charm to the whole experience. Overall, would definitely do it again if I visit!

We had such a wonderful kayaking session at Manly Cove Beaches! My partner is more experienced, while I’m a beginner, but our instructor Jamie made the whole experience feel safe and fun. She was incredibly friendly, patient, and encouraging, which really helped me feel at ease even with the choppier waves. It turned out to be just the two of us on the session, which made the experience feel extra intimate and special. Appreciate the orange juice and muffins provided, a great way to recharge after paddling. Thank you, Jamie and Manly Sailing, for making this such a memorable experience. Highly recommend this tour!

Easy kayak experience that does not require the participant to have kayaked much - if at all - to enjoy. A tour of three separate beaches within close proximity to each other. Relaxed and informative.

Will & Hannah did a great job of guiding the group, & kept checking in to make sure everyone was doing ok (the paddle back to the wharf was quite choppy). Totally worth it though- the 3 beaches were beautiful & not as crowded as the more popular ones. Such a fun way to spend the morning!

The visit to the Quarantine Museum is a highlight of Time should be allowed for this and maybe a brief conducted guided tour of the place. Most interesting.

Fantastic morning on the water. Well worth it! Jack was fabulous!! Suitable for all levels. Met some lovely people.

This experience was so much fun and definitely worth the time! It’s not an easy kayaking experience, it does require a good amount of effort but don’t let that steer you away. As long as you have some experience and feel comfortable paddling you will be fine, I did it solo and was able to make it and there was varying experience in the group as well. Definitely recommend!

A great tour lead by Olivia. Catered for different experience level in the Kayaks. Seeing the beaches and cliffs even on a showery day was a great experience.

Great experience Generous amount of time with a lovely relaxed guide around some beautiful spots and hidden beaches

I was hesitant to do this because I was by myself but I truly loved this activity. The tour guides and other workers were so nice and accommodating, and very good about keeping everyone together. I had no previous kayaking experience, so I was a little nervous but my guide was amazing and very helpful.

Easy trip to navigate and the guide took us to the beautiful beaches with an incredible history. The harbor was busy but we were safe. It was a very enjoyable day!

What a beautiful experience and the guides were great. Definitely have to be ready to work, especially if there’s any wind!!

Great way to experience manly beach for the first time. Our guide, Bella, was spectacular and catered to our group's interest.

Had amazing views at some beaches that are not accessible by road. Enjoyable experience facilitated by the friendly guide.

Dress is swim wear, the beaches are awesome; recommended for those with experience on kayaks, strong wind could make the paddling a bit challenging; luckily the club provided boat to bring us back; overall great experience

Really enjoyed exploring the beaches and being on the water. It’s a part of the harbor/Sydney area that most people don’t see and is a little less crowded, so it was a great break to be out in nature. I came solo but had a great time talking with the instructor and other guests.

We had a great time with Lewis! We did 3 double kayaks and had 2 small kids with us. We had a great time kayaking on Manly!

I loved this kayaking trip! My group’s guide, Lewis, was so knowledgeable and friendly. Would definitely do this again.

Amazing experience, really nice staff and small group. They had a place to put your things at the start and a small dry bag as well.

The tour guide was absolutely lovely and had some great facts about the coves she took us too. The stops were really pretty and we even had time for a swim at each of them. A great way to spend my last day in Sydney, I would definitely recommend!

We really enjoyed the three beaches that we explored and loved learning the history of each. It was nice that the beaches were secluded, they were full of shells! Great tour guide!

Martha and Owen were great. Visited nice coves and beeches close to Manly and heard about the history.

Absolutely fantastic, would highly recommend, our tour guide Owen was informative, friendly and took us to 3 stunning beaches. Great way to see the Manly coastline and find out more about the local history.

This tour takes you to some of the most exclusive beaches in Manly while kayaking. Our guide Brooke was very friendly and helpful. Would definitely recommend this tour to everyone.

Even though it was really windy, had such a great time kayaking in the ocean. Brooke was absolutely lovely and explained the history behind each beach we visited and even brought little snacks for us to share! Highly recommend to everyone (unless you absolutely hate getting wet).

This was a great excursion. Just wished we were told to bring bathing suits and a change of clothing. Guide was great!

Our tour guide was very kind , helpful and patient as we paddled to our ability . Delicious picnic provided on the beach . We even got to see a seal swim close to us in the harbour. Tour was a great way to see parts of Manly you wouldn’t normally see

It is a kayak tour along the coast. We took the glass bottom kayak, but there was not much to see. First of all the reflection made it difficult to actually see something, and second there was not much to see in the water. Of course, the organization cannot be blamed for this. The trip was not too heavy for the arms but still a nice exercise. What we saw was ok, beautiful vegetation along the water, some nice birds, but nothing spectacular to be honest. With regards to the glass bottom kayak, I would not recommend it as two of these kayaks in our group filled almost completely with water so it was paddling from a 'bathtub'.

Had an amazing adventure on the Kayaks and visited some great locations. Our Tour guide was very friendly and helpful and ensured a great experience. I would highly recommend this Tour and i will be doi g it again. A Thanks, Carl

Very hands on. Very educational as well as fun. Our guide was friendly and helpful. The dual kayak didn't have a see through bottom but the water was clear and a dual kayak was definately required. Charming destinations. Very amusing and memorable experiences. Thank you to our Great educator. If returning I would bring my own waterproof sunscreen on the kayak, although educator had some also. For those not used to the Great outdoors there are a couple of other points i would make for myself but I don't want to be a spoiler. Well worth it !!! Many thanks !!!

We were supposed to have glass bottom kayaks but didn’t. Also, I don’t feel like our guide knew much about the beaches we visited. She mainly babysat us while we paddled and didn’t talk much about the area or its history. Disappointing.

Very lovely guide. We got to see some amazing coves only accessible by boat. Well worth it. Thanks guys

Great beach stops, friendly guide and staff. A relaxed and enjoyable way to see and experience the cove and landmarks.

Went with family, friends and partner and a lovely tour guide, Danny, showed us around the beaches. She was very knowledgeable and fun. Had the perfect weather

Great tour of Manly beaches. Beautiful scenery. Good value. I would do this again. The tour guide was friendly and informative.

Manly Sail was an awesome experience and I would 100% recommend you to go there and take a look. There staff are super helpful, in particular Santo answered all my questions and ensured I had a good time with my family. Thanks again!

Es war klasse und ich kann die Tour nur empfehlen!
