Matt was an outstanding tour guide. His knowledge of the harbour history and sea kayaking ensured that we had an exceptional experience. The small group of 6 was also perfect.

We had a fantastic trip with Matt who was extremely engaging. We paddled around the harbour and got great views of the bridge. He took fantastic photos and shared them with us after. We landed on Me-Mel (Goat) Island and had a tour as well with plenty of interesting insights . Would highly recommend and would go again too !

What a trip- we loved it all. Matt was fabulous. We got a great view of Sydney Opera House and a photo to return to for life. Certainly not for the faint hearted. I was glad that Sinead was paddling furiously as we paddled across the Bay.
