The staff were so friendly and flexible as we arrived ten minutes late for a one hour kayak and they allowed us to return ten minutes late to have the full hour. We kayaked to little manly, had a swim and a picnic and returned home. Great for both kids and adults!

A very professional and beautiful time on Sydney harbour with my daughter. We were on a group tour guided day and kayaked around to numerous secluded beaches and then had an amazing gourmet lunch at one of them before a relatively short kayak back to Manly. Thank you Martin and Emma for a beautiful experience !

Best kept secret in Sydney Harbour. We went on the special 4-hour "romance" package which included our choice of SUPs, Kayaks or a boat ride to a lesser-known, surprisingly secluded beach (we were the only ones on the sand for a lot of the time!). The paddle around from the wharf in a two-person kayak was delightful, but the main event was to arrive on the beach where we were greeted with table, chairs, lounges and umbrellas, along with a stunning romantic lunch, followed by swimming, reading, snoozing and simply having a day out of time together. A real treat!

We were a large multigenerational family group who took advantage of hiring manly kayaks to explore nearby water inlets and beaches during a spectacular sunny winter’s day. This is a must for those who want to be active and take in Sydney’s fabulous vistas at the same time. The children came away from the experience with lasting positive memories.
I can say that this is one of the most rewarding experiences on offer for locals and tourists alike.

We had a great time in our 2 hours double kayak at Manely kayak centre. The staff were so nice, easy-going and helpful. There was sunscreen available if you forgot to bring yours and I appreciate that. Also, once we made a rookie mistake and got stuck on a beach, one of the staff that was going around with his boat noticed us quickly and help us get out. I don't know his name, but thank you!
I recommend noting this on your website, that we should wear swimwear, bring a towel and slippers. we did not know that and ended up all wet. Also it would be great to have a changing room with doors.

We had an excellent and amazing experience with Kayaking over the weekend. It was our first time experience and didn't know anything about Kayaking. Staff members are really friendly and especially Craig was really polite and helped us to understand the basic concept of Kayaking that helped us a lot. Me & my wife enjoyed learning kayaking and weather was great as well as scenic beauty of Manly. My wife actually want to revisit & we will plan to do kayaking again. Must visit for everyone to enjoy and have fun.

The experience was amazing. Check in with Craig and his team of staff was smooth and professional. We set off with our double Kayak and paddled over to Store Beach (near Quarantine Beach). It was a beautiful day and the weather was perfect. Definitely a must do if you live or are just visiting Manly. The best way to see Collins Flat, Quarantine or Store Beach. And they supply dry bags, so next time we will take a picnic.

What a great day we had yesterday when hiring some kayaks from Craig and the team at Manly Kayaks. Booking system was super easy, we were able to use our Discover vouchers (NSW people only) and their set up to make it Covid safe was great. Kayaks and paddles were all in good condition, very safe as have life jackets supplied and the crew were super helpful. The sun was shining and we paddled around the nearby coves and beaches and it was just amazing. So lucky to have this on our doorstep. Thanks Manly Kayaks.
