About this tour
Paddle through a New South Wales river system on this two-hour kayak tour, where you'll encounter stingrays, herons, egrets and sea-eagles gliding overhead. Your guide will explain how mangroves thrive in saltwater environments and share stories of Aboriginal fishing methods that shaped the waterway.

What to expect
You'll launch from the river access point and paddle at a relaxed pace, giving you time to absorb the landscape and spot wildlife. Your guide will point out birds and explain why mangroves are crucial to this ecosystem. You'll beach the kayak to try yabby pumping—a hands-on search through muddy shallows—and wander the sandflats looking for small crabs wedged between rocks. Between activities, there's plenty of time to simply drift and listen. Your guide handles photography throughout, so you can focus on the moment.
Good to know
All safety gear is supplied. The tour welcomes wheelchairs, prams and service animals. Public transport stops nearby. If photos aren't your priority, let your guide know—they won't force the camera service. Bring water and wear layers; the river can be cooler than you'd expect.
