5.00We had a great time. Our guide was extremely friendly and knowledgable about the area. The kit was great, great starting location. The river was so clear that we saw stacks of fish and jelly fish which are not stinging, we even held one ! Lovely couple of hours on the river.
Nice place, great guide

5.00We had an excellent morning kayaking with Matt, who was a great guide and instructor for us novices! We got the right balance of interesting information and history of the area along side the fun of kayaking and seeing the swan river from a different perspective. The dolphins were an added bonus!! Thank you Matt! (Just about to book the wine kayaking trip!
Highly recommend

5.00Matt & his staff were excellent to deal with during this whole experience. So friendly and easy to relate to. I was 37 weeks pregnant and felt comfortable paddling through this tour. The kayaks were very steady and comfortable. There was a little treat to end the tour as well, which was a surprise! Highly recommend this tour for a relaxing yet active experience to learn a bit about Perth’s cliffs/caves.

5.00A great way to explore the Blackwell Reach cliffs from the water. Great also to get some history of the river. As a local I still learnt useful information. I can highly recommend this tour as a great way to explore the river.
