Balmoral Beach Kayaking

Team Bonding is delighted to introduce the wonderful team building option of kayaking at beautiful Balmoral Beach in northern Sydney. Relax on the beach with a picnic for an enjoyable and memorable fresh air team activity.

Why Choose This Event?

Nestled in the corner of Sydney's gorgeous Balmoral Beach is an unparalleled setting for kayaking. With fully qualified instructors, your team can paddle leisurely around the sheltered inner Mosman harbour or we can structure something more competitive with challenges, pointscores and prizes.

As well as providing this truly beautiful backdrop where you can relax and enjoy the great outdoors, Jon Allen of Balmoral Sailing, is scrupulous about the safety and wellbeing of team members, there are instructors on the water, who will rarely be more than a shout away. At the end of your paddle, Jon can be prevailed upon to set up his beach volleyball or cricket set, so the active amongst you can continue the fun whilst the rest linger on the wonderful beach and grass area.

How Will it Work?

In order to fast track the activity, Jon commences with a brief instruction session so people are off and paddling quickly, with help from instructors on the water. With one instructor per 10 people, help is never more than a shout away.

Your group can choose double or single kayaks or structured or unstructured activity. For those prefering structure, Jon can lead the group around some places of interest and even add some challenges to the event. Alternatively team members can suit themselves with respect to the quantity and distance of paddling; for example, some may prefer a few short paddles and return to the beach for a breather, whilst others may want to paddle across to further reaches of the harbour.

If you have some people who don't want to kayak there are some great walks in the area, or a leisurely stroll down the beach and coffee at a cafe could be in order.
