Explore the bays

A paddle cruise is the ultimate way to explore the Harbour.

Each cruise is 100% tailored to you.

i.e. you might choose a relaxing cruise around the bays, whilst someone else might want to focus on technique and mastering distance paddling.

Either way, great views are guaranteed!

If you can make it to Rushcutters Bay, Elizabeth Bay or Rose Bay, there’s even the option for a coffee stop!

What you will learn

Paddle cruises are less about structured lessons, and more about an introduction to different paddle routes and enjoying being out and about on your board and exploring the harbour.

But as this is a guided paddle with an instructor, you will receive tips and feedback on your technique as we paddle.

Where we go

Paddle cruises are between 4 - 8km return. Route and distance covered depends on weather conditions and participant’s paddling ability and speed.

Options are: Rushcutters Bay, Elizabeth Bay, Point Piper, Rose Bay and Clark Island.

SUP and coffee paddles go to either The Lookout Cafe at Elizabeth Bay Mariner, Tide Cafe at Rose Bay Mariner.

Location Notes

• All paddle cruises start from Double Bay Beach at the end of Beach Road.

• The only nearby toilets are the public toilets in Steyne Park, so come ready to paddle

• There is no kiosk or area to store items at the beach, so you may need to leave towel, change of clothes etc. in your car or on the beach. The instructor will have a dry bag that to carry your water and sunscreen if needed.
