👍👍 One of the best kayaking experience I ever had, hands down. Definitely the highlight of my Sydney trip. Can feel the passion that Sophie has for kayaking and she is super knowledgeable too. We were lucky enough to kayak alongside with a huge cruise. Did I also mention that Sophie takes amazing photo...

    Just wanted to say a huge thank you to Sophie and her amazing morning Oz paddle Sydney Highlights Kayak Tour. It was just as amazing as a sunrise tour and we had such a fantastic time exploring the beautiful views of Sydney harbour and learning about the area. Her expertise and enthusiasm made the experience even more enjoyable. We truly appreciate the effort Sophie put into making it a memorable adventure. Thank you again for an incredible tour and your awesome photography skills!" 🚣‍♀️😄🤩

    What a way to start the day! Our sunrise Sydney Harbour kayak tour was exceptional from beginning to end. Sophie gave us clear and simple instructions prior to getting into our kayaks (great for first time paddlers), told us about the history of the area as we passed different landmarks and happily took countless photos which she later shared with us at no additional cost. If you're considering a kayak tour then I highly recommend OzPaddle. Thanks again Sophie!

    This is by far the best thing I've done this year. If you haven't had a paddle in the harbour you're missing out. Sophie is very experienced and will get you up and running even if you've never kayaked before. I should add that her kayaks are the best quality and although it's cheaper than the others in the harbour - hers is by far the best! Highly recommend.

    This is one of the most memorable things you can do with family or friends! It was a beautiful experience. Sophie, our guide, was lovely, helpful, down to earth and she has a lot of enthusiasm and knowledge about the city’s history and locations. It was an amazing opportunity and I’d do it again in coming school holidays! Thank you Sophie, absolutely loved the tour, the kayaking and the professional photos you took.

    Thanks to Soph for the fantastic kayak tour around the Sydney Harbour and past the Opera House. Soph has such a warm and positive personality. She was incredibly accommodating and she helped us schedule a day with great weather and calm conditions. Now our group has memories that will last a lifetime! Highly recommend.

    Sophie is a star! Took us out on a private tour of Sydney Harbour. Gave us the far more personal tour, compared to other conveyer-belt style local operations. If you’re looking for a real kayak tour of Syd Harbour, look no further!

    What a fantastic experience! Just got back from a morning kayaking with Sophie around the harbour. One of the best experiences ever, I can’t recommend high enough. I’m not a confident kayaker and Sophie put me at ease from the start. We kayaked towards the opera house and got some amazing photos of us with the bridge and opera house. We were the only ones out there, so quiet and peaceful. If you do nothing else in Sydney do this!! Thank you Sophie

    Absolutely first-class experience! We had a super time paddling with Sophie on a beautiful morning after landing in Australia. Truly a highlight of our trip, Sophie’s tour was a great way to beat jetlag after a long flight and to get oriented to Sydney. Can’t recommend it enough!

    Highly recommended, whether you're a tourist or a local. An amazing way to see Sydney Harbour with a unique close-up view of the Opera House. Tour guide Sophie is professional, friendly and knowledgeable. A great way to start the day.

    Lived in Sydney for over 10 years and I’m annoyed I didn’t do this sooner! Great experience to get a view of the iconic view of Sydney. Sophie is a great tour guide and takes great pics. Group Tour was Sunday morning at 8am. Definitely worth doing even if you’re a local. Kayak was singular which is much easier. Tips: Wear sun screen, wear something light, bring water on the kayak and just enjoy the day.

    Amazing experience! Was able to see Sydney harbor from a new view. Was not far too kayak, less than 3 miles in total. Sophie was very knowledgeable and took amazing photos which were apart of the fee. For the experience and photos, nothing beats it. Great value!

    Sophie is truly an amazing human being and wonderful guide and instructor. We recently brought our father home to scatter his ashes in Sydney where he was from, and wanted to take the same kayak trip he took with two of other brothers in previous years. Sophie accommodated us, and it was like a mini reunion for two of our siblings. The weather was perfect and similar to the time our father did the same paddle. It was like it was meant to be, and he was with us along the way. Sophie has an amazing little location to launch from, and has great sit in tops, paddles, life jackets, and her tutorial before you get on the water is perfect! She definitely is a superstar, and I would highly recommend this kayak paddle, and I know we will be back to see her in the future! Go make some memories of your own with this guide🥰

    THE BEST THING we did on our Sydney Long Weekend!! My partner and I did the 2 Hour Kayak tour on Sunday and it was everything we hoped it would be. We had a small group of four of us, everyone was very friendly and we all had a great time. Sophie was BRILLIANT! She showed us all how to use the equipment properly, gave us a very personal guided tour of the harbour and took LOADS of great photos all the way round, some of which we are now getting printed for our wall at home. Our tip would be - try and be flexible as we were initially supposed to do the Saturday morning but the weather wasn't right so we changed our plans and did the Sunday instead - we were so glad we did! We are hoping to be back in a few months to do a longer tour. Nick & Polly PS Martin was awesome!!

    Stunning, incredible, fun ... you name it. So much more than we expected. Thank you Sophie for the wonderful experience you provided. Highly recommended 11/10 🙂

    WOW WOW WOW..... What a brilliant way to see Sydney Harbour. A massive thank you too Sophie for a magical day on the water. I was planned a surprise kayaking tour for my husband and called OzPaddle to see if they could be an option. Sophie answered my call and was super helpful. I ended up doing a private tour and could not have been happier. Before getting in the water, we were briefed on how to paddle correctly and given tips on getting in and out of a kayak. We were given life jackets and wind breaker shirts to wear. Sophie is a wonderful tour guide. She suggested us to go out on the water at 830am and this was perfect. So quiet at this time of the day which is why she suggested it. Sophie took my husband and I to see the Opera House up close which was breathtaking from a kayaks perspective. The Sydney Harbour Bridge and other landmarks were in distance. The tour went for about 2 hours and for those who have never paddled before, it felt very safe and stable on the kayak. Whilst kayaking Sophie took photos and videos of us which we will cherish. Both my husband and I had a lovey morning and an experience we will never forget. I would highly recommend OzPaddle Kayaking for both couples and families. Thanks so much Sophie.

    Absolutely outstanding experience. Sophie is enormously experienced and a great trainer for a first-time paddler. This made a huge difference; receiving professional instruction on how to handle the paddle and the boat. Sophie was an awesome tour guide, great conversationalist, and is extraordinarily knowledgeable about the harbour and landmarks. She also has an uncanny knack for taking the perfect photograph. I have already re-booked for another session before I leave Sydney!

    It was a great experience!!! I went for a private class with 3 more friends and it has been awesome! Totally recommended, great views. Sophie made looooots of pictures. She takes you next to the botanical gardens, around the opera house... Just great! For real, don't doubt it, just book it!
