Sydney Harbour Kayaks - Kayak, Surfski and Stand-Up Paddle Board LESSONS
At Sydney Harbour Kayaks, our instructors love introducing people to kayaking, surf ski paddling, and stand-up paddleboarding.
We are also keen to see you progress and take your paddling to the next level.
We recommend you start with our free lesson program (you can do six hours of free tuition!), then come back for some private tuition to work on your intermediate and advanced skills.

Embrace the spirit of freedom and exploration as you learn a whole new style of kayaking: Freeride kayaking.
