What to expect
You'll meet your guides at the launch point and be fitted with a personal flotation device and paddle. The two-hour session takes you across the harbour's working waters, with guides pointing out landmarks and local details as you paddle. Expect calm instruction, plenty of chances to photograph the Opera House and bridge, and genuine support from staff—they're accustomed to working with first-timers. The pace is steady rather than strenuous.
Good to know
Bring a change of clothes and waterproof shoes; splashes are inevitable even in calm conditions. Children must be at least 12 and accompanied by a responsible adult. Public transport connects easily to the departure point.
