This was the sight I was welcomed with the other afternoon as I was packing up the kayaks. Such a beautiful location. I cant wait for the sunset tours to start. Perfect for sharing a cheese platter and a glass of wine with.
Native wild flowers in bloom in Ku-Ring-Gai National Park
I discovered a new track while hiking through Ku-Ring-Gai National Park last week that we will be incorporating into Pittwater Kayak Tours. The walk begins at The Basin which is a beautiful picnic area with BBQ facilities where you are guaranteed to see Wallabies. The wallabies are wild, but used to human interaction so are very tame and will allow you quite close to them.
I continued up the Basin Track where I saw a plethora of Native wildflowers beginning to bloom. There were all sorts of colours and varieties in this true Australian Bush.
There were also extravagant Aboriginal engravings along the way which have been preserved.
As I followed the track towards Great Mackerel Beach I was rewarded with breathtaking views looking over Great Mackerel and Pittwater towards Barrenjoey lighthouse. It was a truly magical way to spend a day.
Uni Students enjoy Sunrise Tour
3 university students made the early morning trip out to Palm Beach for the sunrise tour and were rewarded with some spectacular memories. Maria, Alex and Becca landed on the western side of Pittwater at Resolute Bay to watch the sun rise over Barrenjoey Headland. After a couple of quick photos we trekked up to West Head lookout to the expansive views over Pittwater, Broken Bay and the Hawkesbury.
A real highlight of the trip was on the way back when a lone dolphin swam up and said hello, surfacing repeatedly just metres from our kayaks before swimming directly underneath us and off on its merry way.
This is what Maria had to say “We had a great time Greg! Thank You :)”
Kayaking with freinds
A couple of weeks back I was surprised when a bunch of my good friends turned up who had booked the tour under another name. In very windy and rainy conditions we pressed on and ended up having a fun (but cold) time.
I was most impressed by my mate’s little 3 year old Will who came along with us in between his dad’s legs. He didn’t winge or complain once. On the way back he even fell asleep. What a little champion.
Here are a few testimonials.
“Hey mate, really enjoyed the walk as much as the paddle. I thought they were both a good distance…. you’re doing a great job” Dean butler
“Such an amazing morning, huge congrats on setting up the new venture, its professional and fantastic. It was super fun despite the bad weather!” Belinda Conroy
“Cheers, was excellent!! He was one tired little boy! Jake Mackay talking about his 3 year old son Will who came along.
“Hey…. I really enjoyed the tour, I want to go again…. so good to hang at the beach” Laila franzen
