We had a great trip on the river, stopped at a small campsite and had cheese & crackers, toasted marshmallows and wine. Then back up the river to see the glowworms in the dark. It was fantastic and brilliantly organised by Fletcher

Both Adults and Children Loved This Kayaking Trip
The kayaking was much more fun and easier than what we thought. The staff of The Boatshed Kayaks were great and very experienced. They were very helpful, responsible and patient, and genuinely cared for everyone in the trip. The scenery was magnificent and we saw more glow worms than anticipated. The guides even helped us to spot a few possums! The company used sit-inside kayaks which were more stable and easy to handle even without previous experience. The kids loved the drinks and snacks especially the marshmallows roasting during the trip. Would absolutely do this again and highly recommend this activity to both the beginners and the experienced.
