Sydney Harbour Kayaks - Paddle Polo

Played on the calm waters of Middle Harbour within the protected waters of our marina.

Paddle Polo is a safe, exciting and action-packed activity for children, teenagers and adults.

The Ultimate Outdoor Birthday Party and Group Activity

Looking for a birthday party or group activity that's active, healthy and completely different?

Paddle Polo combines kayaking, teamwork, friendly competition and plenty of laughter in a safe and supervised environment on beautiful Middle Harbour.

Using stable sit-on-top kayaks, teams compete to score goals using a soft floating ball and our specially designed floating goal system. It's easy to learn, incredibly fun and suitable for complete beginners.

No previous kayaking experience is required.

Who will win? The Pirates or the Dolphins?
