Discover the beauty of Manly Cove and North Harbour on this 90-minute mini kayak tour — the perfect adventure for first-time paddlers or anyone wanting a new perspective on Sydney’s coastline. Your experience begins at the Manly Kayak Centre where you’ll meet your friendly guide for a tour briefing before heading onto the water. Paddle through calm, sheltered waterways as you visit some of the area’s most picturesque spots including Fairlight, North Harbour Reserve and the stunning Reef Beach. Keep an eye out — you might even spot the area’s much-loved resident sea turtle.
After a relaxed paddle to Reef Beach, enjoy a short bushwalk up to the historic Arabanoo Lookout at Dobroyd Head. Take in panoramic views through the Sydney Heads, watch the iconic Manly Ferry glide into the harbour, and capture postcard-worthy photos. Returning to Reef Beach, you’ll have time for a refreshing dip before your final paddle back to Manly.

Great experience with Martin today learning how to kayak. Complete novices but felt very safe with him, and confident on the water. Highly recommend Go Paddle and Martin, he had the patience of a saint with the four of us!!

Amazing Kayak Tour – Highly Recommended! We had an fantastic kayaking experience here in Ireland! The tour lasted over two hours and was absolutely great from start to finish. Our two guides did a brilliant job – they were incredibly knowledgeable and shared so much interesting information about the local plants, animals, and the area in general. We even got to see a seal, which was a real highlight! Throughout the entire tour, we felt completely safe and well looked after. The atmosphere was relaxed and fun, and we truly enjoyed every moment on the water. Thank you for this wonderful experience – we’ll definitely be back again!

I would 100% recommend gopaddle! Three of us had a great morning with our guide, David, who was so friendly and had so much knowledge of the area. A fantastic experience to go river kayaking in such a beautiful part of nature.
