Sydney Harbour is considered by many to be the most beautiful harbour in the world.
With more than 300 kms of shoreline dotted with sandy beaches, and a backdrop of Australia’s colourful and unique flora, we guarantee you'll love paddle boarding at Sydney Harbour.
Manly Kayak Centre is located at Manly on the northern shores of Sydney Harbour. Manly is the gateway to the stunning Northern Beaches area, and across a sand spit which joins the harbour to the open ocean, is the world famous Manly Beach, an established surfing destination and mecca for fun-seekers. Sydney harbour is also a favourite stop for migrating Humpback whales, and dolphins are frequent visitors to the fertile and warm waters.

Paddleboarding with Manly Kayak Centre allows paddlers a unique perspective of the Harbour. One of the most popular paddle destinations is Store Beach, a sheltered beach only accessible by water. Store Beach has crystal clear waters, a golden sand beach with a natural bush backdrop and thanks to the sheltered location, it makes a great SUP spot for all abilities. Hidden from the hustle and bustle of Manly’s busy centre, this wonderfully secluded beach is more akin to a remote island than a Sydney beach destination!
We recommend you catch a Manly Ferry from Circular Quay in Sydney.
