Yesterday we had the pleasure of taking a group of 26 Students and teachers from USA, with Atlas Workshops for a kayak tour of Sydney Harbour including a special visit to Sydney Institute of Marine Science.

Due to the numbers we called in the help of Out and About Adventures to complete the flotilla of green and yellow kayaks.

Sydney Harbour could not have put on better weather for the day out, the sun was out, water was calm, conditions were perfect.
I believe all kids and teachers had a great time and should have slept well last night, after paddling 8kms around the Harbour.

A huge thank you to Mike and Tammy for coming along to be extra guides to assist with safety and keeping all the Students together and heading in the right direction.

POV: you're watching VIVID Sydney from a kayak instead of fighting the crowds 👀🌃🌉
Night 1 was unreal, we hit the water with family and friends to assess viewing options, and safe to say, Sydney knows how to turn on a show.

We won't be running general public VIVID tours this year, but if you have kayaking experience and are seriously keen for a private night paddle, reach out via email and we will check availability.

Our kayaks are different they are built for adventure, that's why our trips are longer than others and require a bit more work, but the adventure is worth it, just look at our reviews... Take the challenge and

Very sad day, Thoughts and prays for the families and colleagues.
These people are only volunteers and turn up at every call for help, or simply give up their weekends when we need them to assist with events.
And everyday we head out on a tour with inexperienced paddlers, we do it with the safety and reassurance knowing these guys are only a radio message away.

We stand alongside our fellow volunteers at Marine Rescue Ballina with heavy hearts.

Our thoughts, deepest condolences and unwavering support are with the families, friends and all members of the unit following the tragic loss of two respected crew members.

In times like these, the entire Marine Rescue family feels the loss together. These volunteers dedicated themselves to protecting others on the water, serving their community with courage, commitment and selflessness. Their contribution and sacrifice will never be forgotten.

From all of us at Marine Rescue Evans Head, we extend our love and support to every member of the Ballina unit and the wider Marine Rescue community during this incredibly difficult time.⚓💙

Sunrise kayak tours start early and finish around 8am so even if you are a local you can still make it to work, and what a better way to start the day

Did you catch yesterday's sunset, there is no better place to watch the sunset then on the water, we paddle towards the Harbour bridge, then sit with the bridge and Blues Point behind us, grab some photos of the sun starting to set, then we get to take in the entire sunset as we paddled back to our launch spot... Now is a great time for sunset and sunrise, and our lunchtime historic tour

As seen on Sunrise this morning very excited to have been featured, for the very rare sighting we were lucky enough to catch.

A humpback whale has been spotted off Bondi Beach weeks ahead of the usual May migration period, heading north from Antarctic feeding grounds towards breedin...
