"My fiancé Vil suggested that we go kayaking since we both have never done it before and my youngest brother Thomas came with us too which it was his first time also. I have to say at first I struggled for a bit at the beginning but thankfully Glen was there to talk me through on how to paddle and ways to control the kayak and Ivan also gave me more training tips on how to paddle properly etc. Eventually I gotten better the more I paddled. Glen and Ivan were both lovely and they had a lot of good humour! They are always up for a good chat too! I would definitely recommend going with them! If anyone is looking to go kayaking or wanting to learn please don’t hesitate to contact them! Overall, my fiancé and my brother enjoyed their first time too and it was definitely worth the sightseeing and arm workouts!"
"Was our first time kayaking, Glenn was a great teacher telling us all we needed to know before taking us out in Newcastle Harbour. We had a brilliant time, Glenn was very knowledgeable about the area and its history, and a good sense of humour too. Couldn't recommend highly enough."
"What fun! Thank you School of Yak for an awesome morning adventure in Newcastle harbour. We will be back."
"A great big thank you to Glen of School of Yak for a wonderful morning spent paddling along Cockle Creek. Glen was a fantastic guide and a patient teacher, with much local knowledge of the environment and its history. We were very lucky to have sighted a beautiful Osprey who had just caught lunch and was settling in for a fishy feast, allowing us heaps of time to observe her/his fabulousness."
"Weekend Warrior Outdoors would highly recommend The School of Yak. If you want to learn more about kayaking or want to do a kayak tour, than you will love the various tours that they offer at many locations. We have been sending customers to do tours with Glenn and his team for over 3 years now. There are many reasons we would recommend The school of Yak which include the passion they have for kayaking, the high level of customer service they offer and the dedication to ensure everyone is enjoying the experience. We look forward to working more with The School of Yak and recommend them 100%."
