What to expect
You'll collect your kayak, lifejacket, and paddle from Manly Kayak Centre, then head out onto the water. The harbour offers a mix of protected coves and open stretches—pick your route based on conditions and energy levels. Expect to paddle for stretches, then drift and soak in the coastline. You'll need reasonable upper-body fitness and solid swimming ability (150m minimum in open conditions) to feel safe.
Good to know
