Dan was great being very patient with my friend n I getting on the kayak n he explained everything well n we had the best day! Definitely great way to get on the water when visiting Sydney

Visited today 18th February as a family of four, first time kayakers. First of all, what an incredible guy that welcomed us and shown us the ropes. Polite, knowledgeable, friendly and professional. What a guy, made our first kayak even more incredible from the views and kayak we experienced.

Kayak hire (2 hours) - My friend and I are regulars at the Manly Kayak Centre, every single visit we experience great customer service from the team ... we just keep coming back, exploring our own backyard never disappoints.

A friend and I spent two hours paddling over to the Old Quarantube station, stopping in for a coffee and swim, and paddled back. We hadn’t seen each other for a while and it was a perfect relaxing way to catch up, get our exercise and see the harbour.

Perfect location, easy to access beaches, amazing nature, wonderful friendly team at Manly Kayak, highly recommend.

We hired a small "tinnie" (an aluminium boat with an outboard engine and overhead sun roof). It can hold 6 people comfortably but we were a group of 4. We booked online 2 days beforehand and received a confirmation email plus a call from Dan to advise that the forecast wind conditions MAY result in the booking having to be cancelled. He undertook to give me an update call on the morning of the booking. Quite simply, great communication throughout the whole process. As it turned out, the weather conditions were good so our booking went ahead. Dan also conducted our orientation lesson before we headed off in the boat. He made proactive suggestions about the best places to visit given the existing wind conditions. The boat functioned very smoothly throughout. An excellent experience

We are locals and always enjoy a kayak to Quarantine and Store Beaches. Beautiful day on the water! Staff at Manly Kayak are always friendly and supportive with advice and getting in and out of kayaks onto their floating platforms.

I regularly hire a kayak at MKC to paddle in the area. Daniel knows his stuff and will advise you where to go, which kayak to take, how to navigate the harbour safely,etc. The coastline and nearby beaches are beautiful. It is a unique experience mixing physical activity, peace and quiet, freedom and amazing views. I personally love breaking the trip with a coffee at Q beach. I highly recommend 👌

We had a great time kayaking in Manly. Thanks a lot for your kindness and advice for the experience. We enjoyed everything.

We had a brilliant day, trying something new for the two of us. Dan was really helpful & made the trip enjoyable. Would definitely do this again,

The staff were so friendly and flexible as we arrived ten minutes late for a one hour kayak and they allowed us to return ten minutes late to have the full hour. We kayaked to little manly, had a swim and a picnic and returned home. Great for both kids and adults!

Had booked a 9:30am Kayaking session for my Partner & I's anniversary, however as it was a warm Sunday morning, looking for parking took 1hr & a half & we were unfortunately running far behind for time. I had called Manly Kayak Centre to inform them of our stressful situation & spoke to Dan, who kindly offered to rebook us a later session that best suited us. Without any hassles, Dan was accomodating, understanding & very kind to go out of his way to still make our experience possible. The staff were friendly, efficient, helpful & provided thorough briefing to ensure we were safe & comfortable. It was an amazing first time experience, would definitely recommend going with Manly Kayak Centre. Thank you again Dan & staff, we both had such a great time !

A very professional and beautiful time on Sydney harbour with my daughter. We were on a group tour guided day and kayaked around to numerous secluded beaches and then had an amazing gourmet lunch at one of them before a relatively short kayak back to Manly. Thank you Martin and Emma for a beautiful experience !

Best kept secret in Sydney Harbour. We went on the special 4-hour "romance" package which included our choice of SUPs, Kayaks or a boat ride to a lesser-known, surprisingly secluded beach (we were the only ones on the sand for a lot of the time!). The paddle around from the wharf in a two-person kayak was delightful, but the main event was to arrive on the beach where we were greeted with table, chairs, lounges and umbrellas, along with a stunning romantic lunch, followed by swimming, reading, snoozing and simply having a day out of time together. A real treat!

We had a fun morning kayaking around the lovely Manly harbour and surrounding beaches. 14 women mostly over 60 Life jackets easy steps and set up into the water. Highly recommend for fun fitness and seeing our beautiful waterway.
