Where Do We Go?

We kayak out of Blackwattle Bay near the Sydney Fish Markets, under the Anzac Bridge, along world class urban renewal foreshore developments at Pyrmont, past Darling Harbour and across to Balmain before making a short crossing to the magnificent Goat Island where we land in a secret cove before exploring the island on foot. We paddle back more or less along the same route. We'll get photos of you framed by the Harbour Bridge and send you the high rez files for free.
Paddle Pirates is the only kayaking tour in Sydney licensed to land and explore Goat Island

We had a wonderful time :) "

" Matt shows you a fabulous time! He is concerned about your safety and comfort from the minute you start your kayak adventure! Matt will show you water views and places few people get to see. He’s a wealth of information, sharing with you as you paddle along the way. This was a fun, educational and active way to start the day! "
