Be Paddle-Ready for Your Kayak Tour
Prepare for your Sydney Harbour adventure with the right outfit and essentials. Whether you’re kayaking at sunrise or mid-morning, dressing comfortably and bringing a few key items will help you enjoy every moment on the water.
Get Ready for a Comfortable Paddle
Dress smart and pack light to make the most of your kayaking adventure on Sydney Harbour. Choosing the right clothing and essentials ensures a smooth, comfortable, and memorable experience from start to finish. Whether you’re gliding past city landmarks or floating through peaceful waters, being well-prepared helps you stay safe, dry, and happy throughout the journey.
What to Wear
Wear light, breathable clothing like shorts, leggings, rash vests or activewear that allows free movement while paddling. Dress appropriately for the weather and be prepared to get a little wet during your experience on the water.
What to Bring
Pack essentials such as sunscreen, a reusable water bottle, sunglasses, a hat, and optionally a towel and dry clothes. These items will help ensure a safe, enjoyable, and comfortable experience both during and after your relaxing kayak tour.

What if I haven’t kayaked before?
Our kayak tours and Sydney Harbour Highlights Tour are a great way to experience kayaking for the first time. Kayak Guides will brief you on safety and demonstrate the best paddling techniques, ensuring you have a great time out on the harbour. Let us know if you are a ‘newbie’ on the paddle questionnaire, so we can give you all the pro tips before you hit the water.
What do I need to bring?
Just like a trip to the beach, you will need sunscreen, water, a hat, sunglasses, and comfortable kayaking clothes that you don’t mind getting a little wet from paddle splash.
Thongs/flip flops are okay in the kayak, but water shoes are highly recommended to protect you from oyster shells on the beach.
Do you have double kayaks?
We use single kayaks, which are extremely stable, comfortable, and great for both beginners and experienced paddlers.
Never fear — if you fall behind or get tired, our guides will happily give you a rest by towing you behind their kayaks. (This option is great for kids, although adults have been known to take us up on the offer too!)
