Quiet morning on the Pambula River

What a great morning on the river with Kerrie. She assisted us with equipment, dry bags, water shoes if needed, and a quick orientation about what to expect. Overall, a relaxing paddle full of birdlife and a dolphin! Morning tea was a treat with fruit and brownies, tea and coffee from Wild Rye. We found out way to their bakery the next day to sample their pies and coffee. We were able to enjoy the scenery, a short walk during tea or a swim in the river. Excellent excursion. Thank you! Carol and Dave

This tour takes you through the oyster farms up river towards the mouth of the Pambula river. Our guides, David and Kerrie were very knowledgeable and amiable, pointing things of interest and answering any questions. The pace was good enabling the 4km return trip with ease. We found this trip to be very enjoyable and highly recommend it.

We had the best time on the kayaking tour! Jess was knowledgeable and patient as she guided us down Pambula River. As part of the Kayak and Shuck tour, we paddled along the beautiful river, sometimes pausing to learn about the history of the area and to spot eagles, and then had a lovely morning tea and swim before paddling back for shucking and tasting oysters. It was a such a great morning! Highly recommended!
All round fabulous kayak experience

I loved this kayaking experience. Melinda was a great guide in every way.. clear instruction on how to paddle including return trip against the tide, ( a bit of a challenge for me at 73 ) informative on wildlife and local indigenous lore and fun to be with. The environment was stunning and perfect for kayaking . My husband and I were relaxed, refreshed and just the right amount of tired !
Fantastic

Fantastic family time on the river! Our friendly guide was more than happy to share his knowledge of local flora and fauna. Enjoyed every minute gliding through the water together and having a different perspective of our local area.

I booked the Pambula River kayaking tour. Our tour guide, Lara, was super friendly and informative. The river was serene. We stopped midway at a quiet beach near the river mouth for a quick swim and snack. The water was incredible. Definitely the best way to experience Pambula river.
A memorable experience

A most pleasant experience for moderately fit people. We started at Pambula Lake and leisurely paddled downstream. The guides were great, providing interesting comments on the local flora, fauna and history. The tour included a stop for morning tea, which gave us an occasion to stretch our legs and explore the beach. Highly recommended, I would certainly consider doing it again when in Eden.
