Kayak against waste Tour
Be part of the change
Paddle with Purpose: Help us protect our local marine environment.
Our "Kayak Against Waste" tour is for those who want to do more than just sightsee. While Manly’s harbor looks pristine, tides and winds often trap marine debris in the hard-to-reach corners of North Harbour. In this hands-on conservation session, we paddle to spots like Store Beach and Quarantine Beach to collect plastic and debris before it can harm our local marine life. It’s a rewarding way to see the harbor, get out on the water, and leave the ocean better than we found it.
Why the lower price?
This is our Community Impact initiative. We have reduced the cost of this tour to make it accessible for everyone who wants to volunteer their time to help the environment. We provide the equipment; you provide the "paddle power."

Frequently Asked Questions
Is this a difficult workout?
No, this is a slow-paced tour. We focus on the scenery and the experience rather than speed. If you have basic fitness, you will be fine.
Where exactly do we meet?
We meet at the Little Manly Beach boat ramp. I’ll be there with the van and the kayaks ready to go.
What if I've never kayaked before?
Most of our guests are first-timers. I’ll show you exactly what to do before we get in the water and I'll be right there with you the whole time.
Are the wooden cups for sale?
A lot of people ask! We use them for the tour to keep things eco-friendly, but if you love the design, just let me know and we can talk about how to get one for yourself.
