Looking for an easy, salty-haired day out that feels a million miles from the city?
Welcome to Bundeena Kayaks — where you can grab a paddle, glide across sparkling water, spot stingrays, and forget you even own shoes.
We’re tucked right on the sand at Bonnie Vale Picnic Grounds in Bundeena — the little coastal pocket on the edge of the Royal National Park that Sydneysiders should visit more often (but secretly, we don’t mind keeping it our hidden paradise).
🚣♀️ What We’re About
We do one thing really well — getting you on the water.
Whether you’re a first-timer, family, couple, or adventure nut, we’ll set you up with the perfect kayak or SUP and send you paddling into pure Port Hacking bliss.
We’ve got:
Single and double kayaks for hire (from cruisy to sporty) Stand-Up Paddle Boards (SUPs) for those who like to test their balance and their dignity Guided kayak tours (great for beginners or anyone who wants the inside scoop on local nature spots) Group bookings, school groups, team days, paddle parties — you name it!
And yep — everything’s right there on the beach. No lugging gear, no drama. Just step in, push off, and start smiling.

🗺️ Where You Can Paddle
Our backyard is the chef’s kiss of kayaking spots. Calm, clear, and ridiculously pretty.
Here are some local faves:
Simpson’s Bay: calm, sheltered and perfect for beginners. Deeban Sandspit: paddle to a tiny sand island that disappears at high tide. Feels like your own private Bahamas. Cabbage Tree Creek: magical spot to explore on a high tide (bring a camera, it’s wild and beautiful). The Hacking River: if you’re feeling adventurous, keep paddling upriver into the Royal National Park. Audley: full-day paddle for legends with strong arms and snacks.
And if you’re not sure where to go, we’ll give you an easy map and some local tips before you head out.

🧭 Ideas for a Perfect Paddle Day
Option 1 – The “Mini Adventure” (1–2 hrs):
Paddle around Simpson’s Bay and Deeban Sandspit, then float back in for a lazy beach nap.
Option 2 – The “Half-Day Explorer” (3–4 hrs):
Head up toward Cabbage Tree Creek, beach your kayak, and enjoy a snack or swim before paddling back.
Option 3 – The “All-Day Epic” (6–8 hrs):
Pack a picnic and follow the Hacking River deeper into the Royal National Park. Think secret beaches, mangroves, and a workout you can brag about later.
Option 4 – The “Leave It To The Pros” (Guided Tour):
Join a local guide for a Beach Kayak Tour or Eco Tour and learn cool facts about local wildlife, Aboriginal heritage, and all the hidden coves you’d miss on your own.

🌈 Why You’ll Love It
It’s ridiculously pretty — turquoise water, gum trees, pelicans, sunshine. You’ll spot fish, rays, birds, and maybe a dolphin if you’re lucky. No fancy skills required — we’ll show you the ropes (literally). It’s peaceful, screen-free, and way cheaper than therapy. You can reward yourself with ice cream or fish and chips after.
We’re also big on keeping the place beautiful — leave no trace, respect the park, and let’s keep this slice of paradise clean for the next paddlers.
