A word from your host

Chris Sorrell, Founder & Lead Guide
“My favourite part of guiding is watching guests experience Sydney Harbour from water level, whether that’s the calm of a sunrise paddle, spotting marine life, or seeing the city from a quieter vantage point. The goal is always the same: a safe, enjoyable and memorable time on the water.”

Getting there

This experience is held on the traditional lands of the Gadigal people of the Eora Nation.
