Overview
Have a fun day while gaining confidence and skills in a canoe or kayak on the Yarra River.
We meet at the car park at 10am or pick up can be arranged. The group is given a safety briefing.
We begin with a flat-water skills session and introduction to moving water skills, before venturing downstream to the rapids. While experiencing rapids on the river, try to spot a koala or other wildlife while you're paddling. It's a good mix of flat water and rapids.
Lunch is a picnic on the riverbank.
We then continue paddling to our finish point, ending the day at about 4:00pm.
This is a great day out with family or friends and accessible, close to Melbourne. Our most popular trip takes place 45 minutes drive East of Melbourne near the charming old gold mining township of Warrandyte.
