I lived in Sydney but it was only when I returned for a holiday that I did the sunrise kayak. I will recommend this experience to all! Alana took great photos of us! Moss(man) was a great leader.

Beautiful morning and so worth the early alarm. Friendly team, great route, lots of picture opportunities and a lovely breakfast & setting to end. Definitely recommend bringing the suggested change of clothes as you will get wet!
This tour is very well organized and friendly. They give lots of instructions. The pictures they took of us were awesome!
It has been raining heavily during my trip here so I had to deal with the rain, wind, and heavy rain. They are incredibly kind and take great care of their clients’ safety, especially since I was alone and worried about the weather. I didn’t go, but it ended up being gorgeous. I was disappointed that I missed it, but I love that they seem to prioritize their clients’ safety.
It’s worth the money and the early wake up regardless of the weather. Skip the Harbour bridge and do this instead, way more rewarding and magical! The team was amazing too!
We did this sunrise kayak as a family and it was such a good experience. The staff we very good and put us all at ease .The views were fantastic and kayaking around the Opera house and under the harbour bridge was just so memorable, I would definitely recommend this adventure to everyone
We had a great time kayaking around Sydney harbour. Staff were great, breakfast tasty and views spectacular.
Brilliant, tour guides kept you safe on the water, a brilliant photo was included and a reel of the trip made and sent to us! Breakfast included too!!
This was my first time kayaking in the Sydney Harbour and WOW was it an amazing experience! 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟 As you arrive, you will place your belongings into their van for safe keeping and then check-in to get your life jacket on. It’s pitch black as you walk over to the kayaks nicely lined up with their bright neon blue lights. The team will get your foot pedals in the right position and give you a clear and informative safety talk and talk down. What was nice about this experience versus other kayak excursions I’ve done in the past is that you will load your kayak on the ramp and the team will guide it into the water after you are settled. The water turned into glitter as the sun inched up into the sky. As we made our way to the Opera House and the bridge, each group got a photo taken by the Sydney Kayak Experience team in front of both landmarks. The perfect keepsake to remember this sunrise excursion. After the tour concluded, we enjoyed a coffee and breakfast at the cafe. Truly this was the perfect to start the morning 🤩 Highly recommend… - A waterproof phone case so you can capture memories without worry you might lose or ruin your phone. - Leggings & long sleeve outfit you don’t mind getting wet - A change of clothes (and shoes) A big thank you to our amazing guides: Peter, Zoltan, Pavel, Charlotte and Tierna. Their teamwork and guidance was superb! Overall beautiful views, serene moments on the water, plus a little workout! 10 out of 10 would recommend this experience✨
What a fantastic experience, starting in the dark just the magic of the kayak fairy lights to watching the sunrise around us but also Sydney come to life on the water. The kayak team are great guys, making it a really easy, relaxing activity to take part in! Would definitely do it again, oh and by the way, the breakfast at the boathouse cafe afterwards as part of the experience was the icing on the cake.
The best experience. It was a such an invigorating yet peaceful activity leaving before the dawn and seeing our beautiful harbour and its shoreline come to life. The experience was well run and as infrequent paddlers we felt secure at all times. Everyone needs to do this experience at least once in their lifetime.
Not to be missed ... Such a beautiful time of day to kayak and the views are incredible. Staff were all so friendly and informative, photos and breakfast an added bonus. Thanks for a great experience and one for the memory box .
Amazing morning ! Would 100% recommend, I was so nervous and the guides were super helpful and made me feel so safe. I had a fantastic time and the pictures taken by the guides were great!
The experience was very professionally organised with good kit and safety briefing. The staff were friendly and knowledgeable. The launch, paddle round to the Harbour Bridge was just in time to see a fabulous sunrise. Breakfast which was included was lovely!
Amazing well organised trip with friendly and helpful staff, they couldn’t do enough for us! Even though the weather was very cloudy we had a great time with stunning views.
Great kayaking experience highly recommend to do once in a lifetime at the beautiful Sydney harbour! The whole team made sure we had the best time and stayed safe in windy conditions/ high tides while catching the sunrise views.
Well organised. Easy parking in the am. Good instructions and guidance. Great views of Sydney Icons like Harbour Bridge. Plenty of photo opportunities. Great breaky after.
I’ve said it once and I’ll say it again, such a good experience.. the best way to see the main Sydney sights. The sunrise kayak was incredible, staff are so lovely and it’s just an amazing way to spend a morning.
The sunrise kayak was absolutely amazing . Can be done at any fitness level and the kayaks feel so safe and sturdy . The staff are brilliant . Thanks to Tiarna , Adrian and Peter ( I can’t remeber the others names but they were also fab ) would recommend as a must do in Sydney when visiting . The most amazing views and loads of photo opportunities
Sunrise paddle was an amazing experience, would highly recommend it . Great staff looked after us all the way. This is a must do trip
It was an amazing experience. The guides are Top. Very friendly, kind and always very alert of safety. I recommend this 100% to anyone. At the beginning I was a little nervous about it and once you get in its just fun and enjoyment. Bo and Adrian are amazing people. So grateful for this.
I enjoyed a fantastic kayak experience in Sydney, paddling under the stunning Harbour Bridge and gliding past the iconic Opera House. The views were breathtaking, and our guide shared great stories along the way. Afterward, we savored a delicious breakfast at a nearby café, making for a perfect morning. Highly recommend this adventure for anyone visiting Sydney!
My husband and I were booked in advance to kayak around the Sydney opera house and harbour bridge area. We emailed to confirm the day before and was offered a complimentary upgrade to do the sunrise paddle instead of our original day session. This was a really nice surprise and I’m so glad we accepted the kind offer. ☺️☺️ We met at 5am, were kitted up and shown to our kayaks, these were fitted with little LED lights to help us see one another out in the water while it was still dark. The safety instructions were quick and easy to follow, we felt safe and supported throughout the session by the staff. The sunrise from the water was just beautiful. So peaceful and pretty! We had a wonderful time. A photographer accompanied us on the trip and took some lovey pictures which were airdropped straight to our phones after the session. We were treated to a little breakfast at the flying bear cafe close to the water after, which was a really nice way to end the activity. Super little relaxing trip and lovely company. Highly recommended if you’re in Sydney. 🛶🌅🛶 Thank you! Emma & Scott- UK
It's definitely worth getting up early because the impressions you experience are simply unforgettable. You can see Sydney's famous sights from a whole new perspective. This view of the rising sun just feels magical. The tour guides are very cool and really funny, you will definitely always have fun with the guys. They really take the time to take pictures/videos for everyone, and if you have any wishes regarding pictures or videos, just ask and the guys actually implement it straight away. I can really recommend it to anyone coming to Sydney, whether young or old, whether you have ever kayaked or not, this is a must do activity.
The View was amazing. The Guides are very friendly. He makes Fotos and play Musik with the JBL Box. It was excellent an a good experience.
Me and my friends decided to do the sunrise kayaking and we had such a great experience! The whole crew made a really great job in taking care of everyone and making sure everyone is having a great time. Really recommend going on a trip with these guys and enjoy the beautiful sunrises or sunsets with them.
Absolutely astonishing! A must- do for tourists and natives. Perfect size of group and one to one care during the whole trip. Easy pace for everyone! Extremely professional guys and setup in high quality equipment! Never had such a great kayak experience. Big shout- out to our tour guides! Perfect professionalism and super funny.
Relaxing & safe experience of kayaking in Sydney harbour. Good coaches and professional photographers. Wish more photos could be helped to be taken though.
