We are missing our friends, family and business back home in Sydney, but we are super grateful to be investing some time in training our future SBK guiding team, up in Queensland 😅 (and spending quality time as a family 🥰)

Levi is just 5 years old and some of the things he comes out with are so cute and would make him a great guide one day 😄

💦 “It’s sunny outside! The customers will be happy”

💦 “Wow! The sky looks just like an oil painting!”

💦 “I think one of those birds is a cormorant. They’re a fishing bird”

💦 “Would you like a coffee in your kayak? My mummy can make you one” 😂

He’s a little legend 💙

Our other legends are our amazing guide team, who are holding the fort back in Sydney. You guys are doing an amazing job and we are so grateful. Thank you ☺️🙏🏼

Kayaking isn’t something we usually associate with winter, but our “Sunrise Kayak and Coffee” tour is breathtaking during the cooler months. A hot coffee in your sit-inside kayak whilst watching the sun come up over the harbour in the crisp fresh air. It’s a great time of year to be paddling and an epic bucket list experience ✨

Daily tours depart out of Lavender Bay, our little piece of paradise ☀️
