| We paddle under Sydney Harbour bridge, past the Opera House.... |

This is a very adventurous and spectacular trip! It's a return trip from Lavender Bay exploring the bays of the North Shore across to Mosman and back.
The trip is now only offered to experienced sea kayakers (unless you do it as a personalised tour on a weekday). Over the last few years the harbour has become significantly busier in the area from the harbour bridge through to Kirribilli and it can get very choppy at times. There are now at least 5 jetboat companies operating on the harbour whereas a few years ago there were none.
The first leg of the paddle takes us past Luna Park and under the Sydney Harbour Bridge & over the Harbour Tunnel following the northern shore. We then paddle along the Kirribilli shoreline opposite the Opera House past Admiralty House (Governor Generals residence), around Kirribilli Point past Kirribilli House (Prime Ministers residence) and the on to the Careening Cove.
We cross Neutral Bay where these is a beach we may land at and on to Shell Cove which is the home to some of Sydney's most expensive real estate. We paddle along the shore of Cremorne and explore parts of Mosman Bay before landing of a sandy beach with spectacular views across the harbour.
After a short bushwalk we take a more direct route across to Kirribilli and then back to Lavender Bay (about 40 mins paddle).
When: On
weekends. 8:00 am to 11:30 am
Where: We'll meet
at Lavender
Bay wharf.
Cost: $90/person. Photos included
(emailed to you).
We'll run this on demand. For a
weekend we just need a group of four people. We'll limit it to
a maximum of 6 people.
