Best of Sydney - Awesome morning paddling around the foreshore stopping for swims and coffee at Q station. The MKC crew super helpful rescheduling due to bad weather.

Great Crew assisting us to have a great day out - This was a last minute booking, but was a wonderful outing with family, as we paddled around the beautiful Manly inner harbour. The team were once again excellent with helping us get into the water. provided friendly advice on water conditions and how best to enjoy our day out on the water. And on our return they were very helpful in getting us back on land, cleaned up and on our way. A superb day and a great crew!

Great activity - As a last minute idea we were able to rent a double kayak from Manly Kayaks without a problem. They were great to work with that the next day we took some friends back and did it again. Although we only did a 1.5 hours

Highly recommend - The staff were so friendly and flexible as we arrived ten minutes late for a one hour kayak and they allowed us to return ten minutes late to have the full hour. We kayaked to little manly, had a swim and a picnic and returned home. Great for both kids and adults!

Lovely day on the beautiful Sydney harbour ! - A very professional and beautiful time on Sydney harbour with my daughter. We were on a group tour guided day and kayaked around to numerous secluded beaches and then had an amazing gourmet lunch at one of them before a relatively short kayak back to Manly. Thank you Martin and Emma for a beautiful experience !

A super special afternoon enjoying a 4-hour romance package - Best kept secret in Sydney Harbour. We went on the special 4-hour "romance" package which included our choice of SUPs, Kayaks or a boat ride to a lesser-known, surprisingly secluded beach (we were the only ones on the sand for a lot of the time!). The paddle around from the wharf in a two-person kayak was delightful, but the main event was to arrive on the beach where we were greeted with table, chairs, lounges and umbrellas, along with a stunning romantic lunch, followed by swimming, reading, snoozing and simply having a day out of time together. A real treat!

Fabulous experience for kids and adults - We were a large multigenerational family group who took advantage of hiring manly kayaks to explore nearby water inlets and beaches during a spectacular sunny winter’s day. This is a must for those who want to be active and take in Sydney’s fabulous vistas at the same time. The children came away from the experience with lasting positive memories. I can say that this is one of the most rewarding experiences on offer for locals and tourists alike.
