What you can expect

Experience the thrills of whitewater rafting with an adrenaline-charged ride along the spectacular Yarra River in Warrandyte. Spend half of your day paddling through waters, spotting local wildlife like koalas and wallabies and taking in Melbourne's lush surroundings.

Meet your guide at Warrandyte for a brief training session. Learn different paddling techniques as well as some safety information before you put on your equipment and life jackets. After soaking in these pointers from your experienced guides, get in your kayaks for a flat water skills session. Once you can steer the boat, you're ready to head downstream and tackle the rapids.

On this pulse-pounding whitewater adventure, set off with your instructor down the Yarra River. Manoeuver and ride the challenging Grade 2 rapids passing through the peaceful bush lands. You'll hear the roar of rapids as you approach about 10 different rocky rapids and white water that will wake you up and make you smile.

While kayaking, spot native animals like koala, wallaby, and even platypus. If you're lucky, see ducklings following their mum and waterbirds perched, diving or above you. Your whitewater kayaking adventure concludes as you reach the township of Warrandyte. Plan a lunch or dinner in one of the quaint cafes, wineries or pubs nearby in this old gold mining town.
