This tour was fantastic! Matt clearly loves boating and is passionate about what he does. He was really proud of the fact that we were using proper sea kayaks and his new fibre glass paddles were so light which made paddling easy. It was really fun to be able to paddle across Sydney Harbour and get off at Goat Island for a walk around. Matt took photos of us in the best spots and was full of stories throughout the tour- the increased biodiversity of the area, the urban regeneration that was happening, the history of Goat Island etc I’m sure he could have gone on if we’d asked. This was definitely a memorable off the beaten track type tour with amazing views to boot. Great for a tourist like me but also suitable for those wanting to see a different side of Sydney. I only wish I’d brought a waterproof camera with me so I could have taken all the photos I wanted! Thanks Matt for a great time!Thank you so much Matt for a once in a lifetime experience, enjoyed every minute of it. We would reccomend this to anyone and everyone. Pictures are fantastic too!
