    Great time for a family!

    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!
    Best kayaking trip!

    Cove hopping
    Kate_W, Mar 2024
    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!
    Great experience

    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.
    Highly Recommend!
    Nicole_P, Oct 2023
    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!
    Tour with a difference
    Ingrid_C, May 2023
    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
    Oke, but not spectacular
    Andrea_V, Apr 2023
    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'.
    Amazing experience

    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
    Chaming and educational
    Andrea_B, Jan 2023
    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 !!!

    Hey Andrea, many thanks for your review. Glad to hear you had a brilliant time, and I'll pass on your feedback to your guide! Hope to see you again in the future.
    Disappointing
    Jo_M, Jan 2023
    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.
    Response from Host, Jan 2023
    Hi Jo, I'm really sorry to hear that you were disappointed with your tour. Our guides try to tailor the tour and amount of discussion to each group, but it appears we got the balance wrong on this occasion. Also, we often offer the option of alternative kayaks, especially when it's a little windy and the Clearview kayaks might be less easy to paddle, but I'm very sorry the choice wasn't made clear to you on this occasion. We really appreciate your feedback and will make some adjustments to ensure the tour is a consistently positive experience in the future!
    Great fun
    Cheryl_D, Jan 2023

    Thanks for the feedback Cheryl, we're glad you had a great tour and hope to see you again in the future!
    Great Fun
