Small group, relaxing guided kayak tour that lets you admire the stunning environment of Manly Cove and learn a little history about the local area. After a short safety briefing and paddling demonstration, you'll head out with an experienced guide and explore the cove's beautiful beaches.
We will paddle to Little Manly, Collins, Store and Quarantine beaches, passing picturesque caves, striking rock formations and mini-waterfalls. You will stop on a secluded beach for some refreshments, a stroll, and there's plenty of time for a swim before we paddle back.
You don't need any previous experience kayaking, as this is a gentle tour at a leisurely pace. Your experienced guides will make sure you have a well-fitted life jacket, and give you a safety briefing and paddling demonstration before we head out.
You are welcome to bring a phone or small camera to capture the views, as we hand out dry bags before setting off.
Larger private groups can be accommodated by request.

The visit to the Quarantine Museum is a highlight of Time should be allowed for this and maybe a brief conducted guided tour of the place. Most interesting.

This experience was so much fun and definitely worth the time! It’s not an easy kayaking experience, it does require a good amount of effort but don’t let that steer you away. As long as you have some experience and feel comfortable paddling you will be fine, I did it solo and was able to make it and there was varying experience in the group as well. Definitely recommend!

I was hesitant to do this because I was by myself but I truly loved this activity. The tour guides and other workers were so nice and accommodating, and very good about keeping everyone together. I had no previous kayaking experience, so I was a little nervous but my guide was amazing and very helpful.
