Canoeing

In a Nutshell

A guided canoe journey along the Wingecarribee River with a paddling lesson and fine foodie’s lunch.

The Hype

This canoe trip is a hidden gem that very few locals know about, even though it starts only minutes from central Bowral. Your guide will take you on a paddling journey through idyllic farmland and beautiful native bushland as the river slowly winds its way through tight willow corridors and across open lakes. This trip has it all!

Your friendly guide will fit you out with all the necessary paddling gear and safety equipment. For those new to canoeing and those who may be a little rusty, you can also participate in a ½ hour lesson prior to embarking on the journey.

Lunch will either be a packed picnic affair of mouth-watering delicacies or premium burgers straight from our very own riverside grill. We can cater to any special dietary requirements as long as you notify us when booking.

What to bring

Broad brimmed hat - think sun smart.
Sunglasses - it can be quite glary on the water.
Long sleeve shirt - you can be in the sun for a few hours continuously.
Swim wear - don’t forget this on a warm summer day.
Jumper or Sweater - you may get cold.
Long pants - your legs can get quite sunburnt if they are exposed.
Water shoes - It’s a good idea to have something on your feet that will protect them from sharp rocks or tree roots you might not see in the water. “Crocs”; wet-suit booties; or an old pair of trainers are great.
Rain jacket - hopefully you won’t need it.
Sunscreen - it goes without saying.
Water bottle - at least 1 litre per person. More if it’s a warm day.
