The Yarra River, close to Melbourne offers the right kayaking and canoeing
conditions for a fun and exciting day out where participants will learn new
skills and work together to successfully complete a river kayaking trip while
negotiating grade 1 & 2 rapids. You will be shown the basic skills needed
to safely navigate down the river, with just enough excitement provided by the
Yarra River's rapids to raise your adrenalin levels!
All activity equipment is provided and our professional river guides will ensure
a fun team building day is had by all. We use a range of different one or two
person boats to suit your size.

fish, bats and always a wide range of birdlife along the river.
