Kuluyampi Explorer – Journey Beyond

Journey beyond the first and second gorges on a full day canoeing adventure
DURATION

Approximately 9.5 hours- 8am to 5:30pm

AVAILABILITY

Daily, early June – October

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.

Experienced canoeists will make it to the end of the fourth and fifth gorges.

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.

Discover the crystal clear rockpools and waterfalls, pandanus trees and grasslands.

Paddling back in the late afternoon is a magical time in the gorges where the sunlight starts to change and the sandstone escarpments reveal deep red and orange hues – the ideal way to end a fantastic day of adventure.

Reviews

Awesome scenery

We did the dawn cruise and it was amazing. The small walk between the 2 gorges offers some rock art and is a good break between the boat rides. Our guide was excellent and told us all about the cultural and geological aspects of the gorge.
