About this tour
Paddle down the Murchison River to a riverside camp where the day's meal is cooked over open flames. This 4.5-hour Kalbarri experience combines paddling with regional cooking, serving locally-sourced dishes—kangaroo, Shark Bay whiting, prawn arancini, goat ragout with house-made gnocchi—paired with drinks. Small groups keep things unhurried and personal, with enough time to linger over food and river views.

What to expect
You'll start with a paddling briefing before launching canoes downstream to a sheltered camp spot. Once there, watch as your host prepares regional dishes over a live fire—kangaroo and seafood feature strongly. Courses arrive as they're cooked rather than all at once, which means sitting back, eating, and watching the river. The whole experience runs at a gentle clip; there's no tight schedule. Bring an appetite for local produce and a willingness to eat meat-forward dishes.
Good to know
Not suitable for vegans or those with food allergies. Infants sit on an adult's lap in canoes; prams can be left at camp. Service animals welcome. The experience suits all fitness levels. Public transport is available nearby if needed.
