We offer a paddling experience to suit all interests and abilities, from our traditional tourist experience paddling under the Harbour Bridge and over to Neutral Bay for gourmet café food, or our Harbour paddles with magnificent Sydney Vistas and gourmet picnic lunch, through to our wildlife Aussie bush paddles, bushwalks and overnight camping adventures where you can encounter the beautiful and unique Australian bush, birds, reptiles and animals.

Unique Sydney Kayak Tours
Our Tours
I have now been on a number of Sydney kayaking trips with Sam. He is professional, capable and delightful company. He has always demonstrated great care and his love of kayaking is infectious. On trips around the Northern Beaches and along the Nepean River he pointed out wildlife on shore and in the water, and one time we were privileged to watch a Sea Eagle soaring overhead before landing in a nearby tree. Kayaking is about enjoying the Sydney climate and beautiful environment up close and at a gentle pace. What's more, since many parts of Sydney can only be seen from the water, kayaking gives you a perspective many people aren't lucky enough to see. A five star tour leader!
I can wholeheartedly recommend kayaking trips with Sam McLeod as leader. My first experience as one of a group of kayakers was with a bunch of mixed skill. We met at Rose Bay and Sam began by instructing us on land about the do's and don'ts of kayaking, which immediately made me feel safe and confident. On the water he was there for everyone: alert to each person's progress by moving amongst the group and giving helpful advice when needed. Sam is friendly and approachable and this set the tone for the trip. Our picnic lunch at Watson's Bay was delicious and we paddled back to Rose Bay now a cohesive group, chattering amongst ourselves, relaxed, pleasantly weary and in my case - a relative newbie to kayaking - pretty proud of myself!
My partner & I spent a day kayaking on the Tallowa Dam in the beautiful Kangaroo Valley with Sam
Sam's knowledge of the area & his helpful, caring attitude to the whole group was invaluable.
During the paddle we stopped for several breaks to swim & take in the peaceful enviroment. Healthy snacks & lunch were provided. Dinner was a gourmet's delight. All made the better for the serene camping site, where we spent the night in a comfortable tent.
I highly recommend Sam's kayaking tours.
