Kayaking

Slipways are located on the western side of the island

 

If you enjoy exploring Sydney Harbour by water, how about paddling to Cockatoo Island. With gentle slipway access, Cockatoo Island is an ideal base to explore western Sydney Harbour.

Kayakers can land at the slipways on the western end of the island, near the campground. Kayaks can be left at the slipway - please remember that items are left at the owner's risk so take any valuables with you. No motorised vessels are permitted in this location. Be careful not to land at other locations on the island, as kayaks can not be brought onto grassed areas as the saltwater runoff can harm the vegetation.
