Overview
Sydney By Kayak is Sydney Harbour's most awarded kayak operator, offering premium small-group kayak tours from Lavender Bay for over 13 years. If you are searching for unforgettable things to do in Sydney, this is it.
From the iconic Sunrise Kayak and Coffee tour, watching dawn break over the Sydney Harbour Bridge and Opera House from the water, to the magical Sunset Kayak experience with pink LED-lit kayaks gliding across the harbour at dusk, every tour is designed to show you Sydney from a perspective you simply cannot get anywhere else. Their small-group kayak tours are perfect for couples, families, solo travellers, and corporate groups looking for the best experiences Sydney has to offer.
Beyond sightseeing, Sydney By Kayak offers Indigenous cultural tours, eco-certified harbour clean-up paddles, and bespoke corporate team building experiences on Sydney Harbour. As Gold Award winners at the 2025 NSW Tourism Awards, Silver medallists at the Australian Tourism Awards, and proudly Ecotourism Australia certified, they are the benchmark for sustainable, premium kayak tours in Sydney.
Together with their community, they have raised over $84,000 for local marine conservation and removed more than 41,000 kilograms of rubbish from Sydney Harbour. That is heavier than a humpback whale.
This is not just one of the best things to do in Sydney. This is more than kayaking.
