The Paddle & Abseil Adventure Experience on the Yarra River is an action-packed full day of kayaking on Grade 1 & 2 white water and abseiling from a 10m cliff. (As seen on TV’s “Go for Your Life” program Jan 2008) After a safety brief, it’s time to hit the river and embark on a 1.5-hour journey through some of the most scenic sections of the Yarra Valley River. On the first flat-water section of the river, you will learn how to steer the boats. This prepares you for the rapids that lie ahead. The Yarra meanders through the bushland of the Yarra Valley.

During the day there is the possibility of seeing a range of wildlife on the river banks including Kangaroo’s, wallabies, echidna or a Koala. Sometimes we have even seen wildlife in the river including platypuses, eels and there are always many water birds. Before tackling the next part of your adventure, you will dry off and have a picnic lunch. Lunch will be in a picnic area close to the river or at the abseil site. Then it's onto the cliffs which have an intimidating edge. Steady your nerves as you back off the edge of a 10m-12m abseil – approximately 2 storeys high. You can expect your day to finish at approximately 4.00 pm and then return to the station or home in your own vehicle.
