Hilarious and fun adventure
Super fun white water rafting experience. Both guides were great and had such a good group of humans to share it with.
What you can expect
Just 45 minutes from Melbourne’s CBD you can fully immerse yourself in the excitement of whitewater kayaking down the Yarra River. You’ll be powering through thrilling grade two rapids in a two-man inflatable kayak perfect for you and a mate or partner. If you’re looking for a fun outdoor activity that will get your heart racing, you’re in the right place.
Before you hit the rapids, the experienced adventure team will set you up with all the latest gear and show you how to paddle and steer the kayak on the water. Then it’s time for two adrenaline-pumping hours splashing your way through the raging rapids and waves.
The inflatable kayaks are the ideal vessel as they’re very stable, so even if you’ve never been on whitewater rapids before you’ll be able to handle it. But you will get wet! You’ll also be surrounded by picturesque gorges and valleys of lush native bushland, so get excited for an adventure with a view.
Whitewater kayaking on the Yarra River is the perfect day trip from Melbourne all year round. In fact, the rapids are even more intense in winter as the water levels are higher, so book in for an unforgettable adventure.

Good fun!
We had a great time kayaking on the Yarra. The location was beautiful and peaceful with occasional rapids that were fun to navigate and exciting enough for us as first-timers. Highly recommended!
