Overview

Only an hour away from Sydney, explore bushland and beaches in the national park at Pittwater. Departing from our marina location on kayak, discover the sandy inlets, cliffs and gum trees of the western foreshore of Ku-ring-gai Chase National Park – accessible only by water! Kayak around Scotland Island and drift down Salvation Creek past the mangroves, before paddling into secluded Lovett Bay for morning tea. Take in the tranquil surroundings while feasting on a picnic-style spread of fresh fruit and pastries. Choose to take a dip in the inviting waters or pop on your walking shoes for a bush walk among the gum trees. The destination? A hidden rainforest waterfall above Lovett Bay. Your experienced local guide will share in-depth knowledge on the region and its native flora and fauna. After a blissful time on the water, you’ll be ready to return back to shore with unforgettable memories!

This is a scam. I bought this as a gift for my dad for fathers day and had payed in full for the experience a few days before. When we showed up to the location ready to go the company told us that La Vacanza Travel is a scam and that La Vacanza Travel have been stealing their information and taking the money. They told me that this has been happening for months and that they are working with the police. No tour guide, no lunch or snacks nothing that was listed in the booking was available. I had received multiple emails from La Vacanza Travel confirming my booking etc. Not sure who the scammer is but my $250 dollar experience was wasted when all my Dad and I did was rent a double kayak and do the experience ourselves.

The guide Justin we had were very enthusiastic and fun. The whole day was so much fun and I would definitely recommend for other people to give it a try. We saw waterfalls and the paddle across Pittwater is so beautiful. I will be back!

Fabulous half day trip in beautiful scenery and easy paddling. Toured a circuit of Scotland Island and had a lunch break at Lovett Bay. Took a 20 minute walk to a lovely tropical waterfall. The guide Justin was very friendly and huge fun.

We had such a beautiful day on Saturday (for May). I did the tour solo with two lovely girls from Orange who were in the double Kayak and our experienced and fit kayaker tour guide Daniel who explained everything beforehand as I had never kayaked before he was full of knowledge about the area also! We paddled around Scottish Island and then stopped at Little Bay? Dan took us for a look out short bush walk to these beautiful waterfalls, the water was running at these falls, took some photos the view was specular that looked over Pittwater we came back down then had afternoon tea that was provided by Dan just hit the spot it was lovely thankyou Dan and Tanya. The tour takes you around the Scotland Island and little bay, so if you have never paddled before, or are not particularly fit as I was solo it proved a little exhausting for me coming back, bit hard going as the wind picked up , Dan had to tow me a few times thanks so much Dan for being patient. I'm glad I didn't do this in summer as it would've been too exhausting for me, nice to do in autumn or spring, highly recommend tour for a local or tourists don't forget to bring your sneakers for the bush walk though.
