Enjoy a deluxe kayaking experience on Sydney Harbour, one of the world’s most famous waterways.

If you are looking for something fun and memorable to do in Sydney, this is one to tick off your bucket list. Whether you are exploring your backyard or a visitor to Sydney, kayaking on the harbour is a unique way to see the city from a new perspective.

Sydney Harbour Kayaks has experienced and friendly guides, so you enjoy your time out on the water with the best possible experience. Choose from several sea kayaking tours departing from the Australian National Maritime Museum.

90 minute: Darling Harbour explorer

Set off on a mini-maritime adventure exploring Darling Harbour in the most fun way possible! 

Paddle together past the Museum’s amazing fleet of ships—big, bold and full of stories. Kids will love spotting the “giant grey vampire ship” HMAS Vampire, peeking at the speedy HMAS Advance, and gliding right by the submarine Onslow. Discover the daring tale of HMAS Krait, wave to the mighty James Craig, and journey back in time as you float past the HMB Endeavour.

With calm waters, comfy kayaks and guides who know all the cool stories, this tour is perfect for curious kids and adventure-loving grown-ups. There are plenty of stops for photos (and giggles), so you can capture your family’s best summer memories from the water. 

Minimum age: 10 years

Ticketing: $89.00 per adult, $69.00 per child (10 to 16 years) and $299.00 for a family (2 adults / 2 children)
