Fun filled whitewater experience
Exciting, rewarding and fun filled activity at Yarra river. Quality equipment provided and helpful instructor along the river. Thank you.
Great time for young and old!
Really enjoyed our adventure - even with low water, it was fun navigating and splashing around in the kayaks and making our way through the rocky rapids. Myself (39yo), my 75 yo father and kids (11 and 14) really had a great time. Definately would recommend!
What you can expect
Just 45 minutes from Melbourne’s CBD you can fully immerse yourself in the excitement of whitewater kayaking down the Yarra River. You’ll be powering through thrilling grade two rapids in a two-man inflatable kayak perfect for you and a mate or partner. If you’re looking for a fun outdoor activity that will get your heart racing, you’re in the right place.
Before you hit the rapids, the experienced adventure team will set you up with all the latest gear and show you how to paddle and steer the kayak on the water. Then it’s time for two adrenaline-pumping hours splashing your way through the raging rapids and waves.
The inflatable kayaks are the ideal vessel as they’re very stable, so even if you’ve never been on whitewater rapids before you’ll be able to handle it. But you will get wet! You’ll also be surrounded by picturesque gorges and valleys of lush native bushland, so get excited for an adventure with a view.
Whitewater kayaking on the Yarra River is the perfect day trip from Melbourne all year round. In fact, the rapids are even more intense in winter as the water levels are higher, so book in for an unforgettable adventure.

Fun for all ages and worth the trip
Fun day out, quality equipment and great instructors. Lower water levels meant that the rapids were smaller, but it was still a very enjoyable experience for myself and my two parents (aged 70).
