How it started and how it's going
September 2020
Vianney was working in the aviation sector.
Unfortunately, due to the global pandemic COVID-19, he had to move on and suddenly found himself having a lot of "free time".
October 2020
Living in the beautiful Lavender Bay in Sydney's Lower North Shore, he decided to buy a kayak to reset his priorities, plan for the future and enjoy some relaxing time during a very stressful period.
Very quickly, he started to provide his kayak (in exchange of a very low rental fee) to some adventurous "Backpackers" wiling to discover our incredible city from a different angle.
January 2021
Vianney has finally managed to secure a Management Consultant role at Collagis, an Australian Management Consulting firm.
During this time, Vianney was still providing his kayaks to many backpackers stuck in Australia and looking to do a fun and safe activity.
June 2021
Vianney has advertised the activity within the lower north shore community and had such a wonderful success with many taking the opportunity to give it a try, especially during Sydney longest COVID-19 lockdown.
He bought a second kayak so people could go with a friend/partner.
July 2022
Vianney has decided to buy a third kayak to provide private guided session around the Opera House and Harbour Bridge during the sunrise and sunset, a truly magical experience!
August 2022
Vianney has registered the community business, now named Lavender Bay Kayaking.
Lavender bay kayaking is a community kayaking experience.
We do not have a fix price for any session, we do understand that every person has different situation and we'd rather let our brilliant paddlers giving what they think their experience was worth!
Voila!
Meet Vianney!
Your adventure awaits...
