Family Friendly Paddle — Easter Long Weekend Kayak Activity

Looking for Easter long weekend activities in Sydney that feel active, outdoors and a little different from the usual plans? A guided kayak tour on Sydney Harbour gives families, couples and big groups a fresh way to spend time together across the Friday to Monday break.

Sydney Kayak Experience welcomes paddlers aged 12+ across all fitness levels. Whether it is your first time in a kayak or something you already love doing, our team can help you enjoy a relaxed and memorable paddle on the harbour.

Start your Easter long weekend with the Sunrise Kayak Tour

For a standout Easter Sydney Harbour experience, the Sunrise Kayak Tour is a beautiful way to begin the day. The tour starts from Kirribilli, taking you onto the water as the city comes to life.

You can look forward to early-morning views of the Sydney Opera House, a paddle under the Sydney Harbour Bridge and that soft sunrise light across the horizon. Coffee and breakfast are served after the tour, giving you time to relax and ease into the rest of your long weekend.

Get creative with Paddle & Paint

For something fun and creative, Paddle & Paint combines a scenic harbour paddle with a relaxed art session afterwards. Starting from Kirribilli, you’ll paddle past some of Sydney’s most iconic sights before heading back to shore to create your own artwork inspired by the views you’ve just experienced.

Available for group bookings of at least 10 people, the experience also supports the Australian Marine Conservation Society, with a portion of the profits donated to the organisation.

Food, drinks and all painting materials are included, making it one of the most well-rounded team and family activities in Sydney during Easter weekend.

See Sydney in a new light with the Sunset Kayak Tour

Ready to see the harbour in a new light? Our Sunset Kayak Tour offers a different perspective, with beautiful waterfront views as the sun begins to set over the city. Departing from Lavender Bay, it’s a great way to experience Sydney in the evening.

We also offer Corporate Kayak Tours for businesses looking to reward their teams with a memorable day over the Easter period.

Safety and gear

Before setting off, you’ll receive a safety briefing from one of our experienced guides, who’ll be there to support you throughout the tour. This is also a great opportunity to ask any questions before you head out onto the water.

All kayaking equipment is provided, so all you need to bring is comfortable clothing, enclosed footwear, sun protection and a water bottle.
