Great and for me different view of the harbour. Shannon took good care of everyone and provided a safe and interesting tour.

Shannon was very knowledgable about the area's history and made us all feel safe on our kayaks. A great experience!

I'm so glad my daughter and I took this tour. We did a special version of the Darling Harbour tour to fit in with the Sydney Festival in January, to see the inflatable octopus etc, but even without that, this would be a top tour that I'd highly recommend. It went for an hour and a half but felt much longer, with great guidance from Shannon. Absolutely loved the stories about the naval ships and other boats around the Maritime Museum, and also appreciated that the equipment (from the boats to the life jackets) were in superb condition. It's worth investing in a waterproof phone bag to hang around your neck before you come along – we got some great photos of the sights.

Our guide Shannon was fabulous. We enjoyed his stories about the boats/ships in Sydney Harbour and his positive vibes. Shannon was especially helpful with our 10 year old and helped him be included. A wonderful experience!

Me and my friend had a wonderful time on the kayak tour with Shannon. The scenery was stunning, and Shannon was an excellent guide. He was knowledgeable about the area and had a great sense of humor. He also provided technical assistance when I needed it. I would highly recommend this tour to anyone who loves nature and wants to learn about the local area. Shannon is a great guide who will make sure you have a memorable experience.

It was our first time kayaking and we thoroughly enjoyed ourselves. Thank you Shannon and your lovely assistant (Sorry, we forgot her name)

We booked Sydney Harbour Kayaks in Darling Harbour (Maritime Museum) for our EOY Team Event this year. Shannon was an amazing guide who knew the history of the Harbour and ships giving us an informative tour as well as making sure we were all safe and sound. His assistant Charlie was very personable and social with the group. We thoroughly enjoyed our time, with a pitstop at lavendar bay for a nice picnic with fresh fruits, cheese and crackers. Kayaks were 2 per boat. Would definitely recommend and come back.

Watching Sydney’s VIVID light festival from a kayak in Darling Harbour after paddling around the bay at night, with my 21yo daughter was unforgettable.
