Mobile Phones / Cameras / Electronics (On-Water)

We DO NOT recommend that you take any electronic devices out on to the water for kayak tours, rentals or lessons unless you have a secure,  sealable waterproof case or bag.

​

Even with a waterproof case or bag, you must ensure that this is closed & secured properly. It is the responsibility of the individual paddler to make sure they have security over their own phone or electronic devices.

Even in calm conditions, the risk of water damage is fairly high, please make sure you are well prepared.

​

Sydney Harbour Kayaks doesn't accept any liability if the phone or electronic devices are, lost or damaged when engaged on one of our activities (kayak tours, lessons rentals).
