CANOE TOUR
1. What happens on the Canoe Tour?
Guests will enjoy flat water canoeing in Canadian canoes, paddling up-stream to visit a number of sites along the riverbank.
We will then explore the bush, walking along the ridge to a cave within the cliff-face. The Bushtucker lunch gives you the
opportunity to taste a variety of bush tucker (and includes gourmet food), and learn about the medicinal properties of plants found within the area. A great experience is completed with historical tales concerning original settlers and indigenous tribes.
Finish the day with a canoe race back to the river mouth!
2. How many people in a canoe?
Our canoes are Canadian style canoes, which hold maximum of 5 adults; children can be seated next to parents.
3. Do you have to paddle yourself?
YES! The Margaret River is very calm and flat watered, so there is no real strenuous paddling on the day!
4. How fit do you need to go on the canoe tour?
You don’t need to be overly fit. We try to place guests with experienced and non experienced canoeists to make it easier for everyone. We do go on a 1.5km bush walk, but this is at your own pace and it’s not difficult. We recommend all ages and fitness levels!

Our lunch is presented by your Bushtucker guide, on the banks of the river. We offer a large selection of dips, pesto’s, chutney’s, relishes, smoked meats which include kangaroo, emu and turkey, bush salad and selection of local bread.
