Great price, great host, great area.

Bob delivered the goods with additional information, a map of the water ways and advice for the best views on the day. The price was very reasonable in comparison to other hire water craft businesses.

Excellent guide, great day out

Amazing kayaking adventure

See the Hawkesbury River from a new perspective. We did an overnight trip & camped. Paddled around 24 kms there and back. Stopped at little inlets. Perfect weekend offline & in nature.

How tough is it to get to here from Central Station Chippendale, Sydney? Methods of transportation without a car? A train was mentioned by one reviewer.

Train goes directly to Brooklyn from central station. Brooklyn is known as "Hawkesbury river" railway station. Take the Newcastle and central line, one hour. Short walk to parsley bay. Cheers
