We meet at Mandoon Estate Winery in Caversham and launch from their private jetty on the Swan River.
From here, we paddle at a steady pace, taking time to enjoy the natural beauty of this quiet section of the river, home to picturesque estates and native birdlife.
Along the way, we pause for raft-ups, where your experienced local guide shares stories about the river’s cultural significance and local history.
We reach our turning point near the historic Woodbridge Park before beginning a gentle paddle back toward Mandoon Estate.
Once back at Mandoon, you’ll be guided to either the Cellar Door or Homestead Brewery, where you can choose to enjoy optional wine or beer tastings, or extend your experience with our food packages.

5.00Organised tours such as this are often superficial and a bit disappointing. This is certainly not the case with this tour. The moment we met Brian we knew it was going to be a great morning. He was really flexible with our group and showed real empathy. The equipment was great quality and after a very good briefing we were off down the river! It was peaceful and quiet and we went at our own pace. The trip was interspersed with really interesting and informative stories and anecdotes. On return it was time for the wine tasting at Mandoon which was just lovely.
Such a lovely relaxing...

5.00An absolutely perfect way to spend a Saturday morning. Although it was an extremely hot day, it was beautiful on the water with the capable team. A fantastic gift from my daughter.

5.00We had a great time kayaking a beautiful part of the river. Our guides, Kyle, Bryan, and Rachel, were excellent. They were very friendly and lovely people who explained everything clearly and provided interesting information about the area's history and wildlife. The pre-tour information was communicated well. All the equipment was in excellent condition, and everything was well-organised and safe but relaxed and fun. The pace of the tour was perfect. Thank you for a very enjoyable morning. Debbie and Peter
Great day!

5.00Was a nice gentle kayak with a good bit of history from the lovely boys conducting the tour. We all stayed very dry with the exception of a few drips from the paddle and the jetty was quite hot so I'd say it's a good idea to wear your shoes. Fantastic day out and a great venue to start for lunch and maybe more than a tasting.
Lovely easy kayak & history thrown in

5.00Fantastic tour! Faultlessly organised, every aspect very professional. Matt is an extremely knowledgeable guide and presents information in an interesting and accessible way. He is also very friendly and personable. Winery was very busy but the tasting was well run and again, superbly organised. Highly recommend this tour.
Always brilliant.

5.00This is the 3rd Mandoon Winery and Kayak Tour I've been on - each time with different groups of friends who were jealous of missing out on our last trip - and the 5th kayaking trip I've been on with Matt and GoGo Active Tours. Matt always selects a great part of the river to explore and does so much research about the local flora and faun it's great. Doesn't matter how many trips I've been on, I'm always learning about the indigenous and the settlers' history of each region. Not only is it a fun day of exercise in the great outdoors, it's incredibly informative! I keep coming back for more. Thanks Matt. Naomi B
