About Sydney Harbour City Lights Night Kayak Tour

This 90-minute evening tour combines adventure with breathtaking views, led by qualified guides in a small group of no more than 12 paddlers.

Local Legends & Stories

Sydney Harbour holds deep significance for the Cadigal people, who have fished and traveled these waters for thousands of years. The harbour's name comes from Governor Phillip's admiration for its beauty, comparing it to the harbours of his native England. Legend has it that the Harbour Bridge's nickname "The Coathanger" was coined by workers who saw its shape against the sky.

Your guide will share lesser-known stories about the harbour's indigenous heritage and secret coves away from boat traffic.
