Overview

Begin with a scenic boat cruise through the first gorge before you take to the waters to explore the second gorge and beyond by canoe.

Suitable for ages 6+, there are double canoes available so children can share with an adult.

On this self-guided adventure, you can travel at your own pace, admiring the stunning scenery and local wildlife. Take a picnic to enjoy on the riverbanks and cool off with a swim at one of the many swimming spots along the way.

Be sure to check out the lush hanging gardens with an almost rainforest-like atmosphere – a great place to have a break and enjoy some cool shade.

Reviews

Great way to spend an afternoon

A half day trip canoeing in the gorge with a boat trip up the river to the start point and the opportunity to swim from the river bank if you wish. Really peaceful in the gorge, lucky enough to see some freshwater crocs as well. We loved this trip.
