A good mate of mine had his brother-in-law Joe, out visiting from England for a couple of weeks. They got up early and we were getting ready in the dark. We set off at first light, so we could be at the top of 3rd Head for the sunrise. We also explored the Aboriginal Cave near the top of the Resolute Track. We then went down and did a bit of Yoga on the beach. I’m hoping to introduce a sunrise kayak with a yoga session led by a qualified yoga instructor to our list of tours soon.
Pittwater Kayak Tours Celebrates National Parks Week
National Parks week ran from the 7th to the 15th March, 2015 this year. To help celebrate National Parks week, PKT lowered its prices to just $40pp. Loads of different groups from all walks of life came together to enjoy evereything that Australia’s National Parks have to offer. Paddling on Pittwater in single and double kayaks, bush walking in Ku-Ring-Gai National Park to West Head and swimming at Resolute Bay was enjoyed by everybody. We were blessed with beautiful weather the whole week.

Jarrod and Stef came along for a romantic kayak together on Valentine’s Day. After bush walking in Ku-Ring-Gai National Park, swimming at Resolute Bay and then paddling back to Pittwater Park.

EMC Corporate Tour – “The Best Start to the Year so Far”
Elizabeth and her team from EMC came along for a team building session at the beginning of 2015 to help get her team working together and experience a fun day out together. At the beginning of each year the EMC team has a corporate event. Despite the bad weather on the day, her staff enjoyed it thoroughly and said ” it was the best start to the year so far”. Due to the bad weather we were unable to cross Pittwater, so instead we kayaked to Barrenjoey Headland and walked up to the lighthouse.
Many of the staff had no experience kayaking before and were apprehensive before leaving. Once we were on the water they felt completely comfortable and had a great time.
Ladies tough out the bad weather
Joerg and his Wife Enjoy the Sun Rise over Palm Beach
Joerg and his wife still made it down to Palm Beach for the sunrise tour despite sleeping through their alarm. It was a beautiful morning for a paddle. Then they were off to enjoy the rest of the day enjoying all that the surrounding areas of Pittwater has to offer. Excellent pubs, restaurants, cafes and of course the numerous beautiful beaches.
Sasha and her Friends Enjoy Wine and Cheese as the Sun Sets
Sasha organised a group of her friends who live in and around Sydney to get together for a catch up. They enjoyed a paddle on Pittwater (although there was a bit of healthy competition between the blokes, and some of the girls). After the paddle they sat on the grass and enjoyed wine and a cheese platter as the sun set over beautiful Pittwater.
74 Yr Old Jo, Shows Age is Just a Number
Chris and Anthony who are both keen paddlers brought their mum along for a paddle with Pittwater Kayak Tours. She is 74 years old and or should I say 74 years young. Jo was fit a s a fiddle and made the whole experience look easy. She is not PKT’s oldest participant and an absolute inspiration. She truly showed that age is just a number.
