What to expect
You'll meet at Brunswick Heads and receive a brief safety chat plus paddling techniques before setting out on the water. The river is sheltered and gentle—expect a rhythmic, meditative pace rather than a workout. You'll spot local birdlife and vegetation whilst guides share knowledge about the marine park. Halfway through, you'll float on the boards with cold water and snacks. On return, the crew hands over digital photos taken during your paddle. The whole experience, including setup and cleanup, takes about three hours.
Good to know
Bring swimmers, towel and hat. You must be a confident swimmer and comfortable in water. No pickups are offered; arrange your own transport to the Brunswick Heads meeting point. Start times vary by tide, so call ahead to confirm. Private tours can accommodate different ages and fitness levels.
