Overview
The adventure starts as we paddle past historical boat houses, picnic spots, a golf course, secluded riverside homes and the 'Bat Zone' - home of the Grey Headed Flying Fox. It's a relaxing peaceful paddle through gum trees and parks close to Melbourne.
Meet us near the river then its a short car shuttle. After a safety briefing and introduction to canoeing we will set off for a leisurely paddle on the Yarra River. We will spend approximately 1.5 hours on the water until dusk and then we will tuck into our chicken and drinks until it's time to go home!
We start Autumn & Winter trips earlier at about 3pm as they finish on dusk.
