Our team is passionate about all paddle sports, passionate about being out on the water and living our dream, to take time - enjoy life. Our passion is infectious.

3. Taronga Zoo
Overall Ratings
4.5 based on 6,980 reviews
Taking a ferry directly from Circular Quay to Taronga Zoo, located in the suburb of Mosman, is the first unexpected joy of visiting the animal park. Once there, the leisurely trails and opportunity to see some of Australia's distinct wildlife become apparent, as does the striking view of the Harbour Bridge from the seating at the aerial bird show. Advance booking can give you the chance to see koalas up close, or stay overnight and 'camp' in the zoo.

There is so much to see here! I had the pleasure of visiting on my birthday. Its $1 entry and you are requested to make a donation to the Zoo as you enter. You must pre-book to get the deal. Parking as always in SYDNEY is expensive but its great to park with no stress and stay hours without thinking about it - its a flat fee for the day. We went throughout the entire park from 10 until around 3pm. A particular highlight was the Bird show and how well the ladies explained the birds and interacted with the crowds... and the views across Sydney when you watch the Giraffes. We saw all the other animals and finsihed with the Seals show at 2pm, make sure you go there as again its so professional. The ZOO is clean!! We finsihed by taking the cable car from bottom to top then exit through the main entrance. Such a great day out and you shouldnt leave Sydney without the visit.

This Sydney Harbourside beach is a real gem. Perfect for families with safe swimming, playground, grassy park areas and food options. Also great for walking and flat, well maintained footpaths and plenty of shade make it easily accessible for wheelchairs, walkers and those whose mobility may be not as good as it once was. Plenty of parking but that can be expensive if there for a few hours. Perfect picnic spot but don't eat right near the water's edge as the seagulls are feral and aggressive.

One of Sydney's premier inner harbour beaches. Walk along the pristine sand, swim in the refreshing waters or throw a line in and catch yourself dinner. Parking can be a challenge on weekends.
7. Walking Trail To Chowder Bay
Overall Ratings

Reviewed By 15kimg - Wollongong, Australia
We did this walk on a sunny Saturday. It truly is one of Sydney’s most scenic walks. I would recommend it to visitors and locals alike. It is an easy 5km Walk. We caught the ferry to Taronga Zoo to start the walk. I found it easy to follow with sign posts at regular intervals. If you do get lost we found lots of people on the path that you could ask for directions, if needed. At the start you follow a bushy trail around Bradley’s Head. Along the way before you hit Chowder Bay you will pass lots of lovely bays and gaze at the busy harbour watching the sailing & fishing boats and ferries. At one point you will see the opera house and harbour bridge with the city skyline in the background. A great photo opportunity. Clifton Gardens and Chowder Bay are incredibly picturesque as the area is nestled between the harbour side frontage and the Bush. You can refill your water bottle at Chowder Bay. Chowder Bay is a great spot for swimming and has heritage features. There are also three cafes you could stop at for a coffee or snack, high tea or gourmet lunch. All of the cafes are good and will appeal to differing budgets. We continued walking all the way to Manly. However if you wanted to finish at Chowder Bay you can catch the 244 bus back to Wynyard in the CBD. It is a short walk to the bus stop. I think this must be Sydney’s most picturesque walk. Fun fact: Chowder Bay is named after the American whalers who made Chowder from the abundant seafood.
8. Obelisk Beach
9. Balmoral Boatshed
Overall Ratings
3.5 based on 23 reviews
The Balmoral Boatshed is located on Sydney's pristine lower north beach suburb of Mosman and is a local favourite for paddleboard hires, tinnie boat hire, tender and mooring servies, and bait & ice sales. We are open 7 days a week from 9 till 5 and take bookings for the paddleboard and hire boat rentals. A perfect way to see the Sydney from the calm waters of the north shore, a stop at the Boatshed for a swim and paddle and breakfast/lunch at the adjoining Boathouse is an absolute must do in while Sydney!!
