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.

5.00Will & Hannah did a great job of guiding the group, & kept checking in to make sure everyone was doing ok (the paddle back to the wharf was quite choppy). Totally worth it though- the 3 beaches were beautiful & not as crowded as the more popular ones. Such a fun way to spend the morning!
Beautiful Secret beach !

5.00This 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!
Great experience ...
