Coffee Paddle Kayak Tours
These morning kayak tours will start from the boat ramp at Manly Sailing where you will be greeted with coffee and a smile. Our guides will help you get setup when you arrive, providing you with the equipment you need and ensuring that you have a correctly fitting lifejacket. Then you’ll make your way down and around Smedley’s Point and across to Quarantine Beach, from there you will hug the shore line up to Store Beach, then continue on up to Collins Flat Beach. Don’t worry it isn’t all hard work. We will go at a leisurely pace and you’ll have your coffee and snacks to keep you going and to power you back to Manly Sailing.
We cannot control the weather. Therefore we will postpone the tour the evening before if the forecast is not suitable for kayaking.
This is a gentle paddle, you don’t need to have any previous experience kayaking.
Time: arrive at 8.15 ready to launch from Manly Sailing at 8.30am.
Duration: 2.5 hours (including safety briefing, setup and paddle)
