Sunrise Paddle in Sydney Harbour
Overview
Start your day on the tranquil waters of Sydney Harbour as the sun rises, casting a golden glow across the city.
Glide past iconic landmarks, like the Sydney Opera House and Harbour Bridge in LED-lit kayaks. Feel the calm morning breeze, and enjoy the quiet serenity of the harbour before the city wakes.
Led by qualified guides, this peaceful early morning paddle is safe, eco-friendly, and unforgettable. The tour finishes at the Flying Bear Cafe, where you can refuel with a delicious breakfast and coffee while enjoying the waterfront views.
