Overview
Pack more action into your day with this combined experience. If you love walking and you’d like to explore some more of Melbourne with a great paddle down our iconic river then this is the trip for you. With the usual Take Shape Adventures’ attention to detail and full support, PLUS all your gear and Drifter II kayaks, lifejackets and paddles!
What an opportunity to explore one of the best sections of urban Melbourne – without feeling as though you’re in the suburbs at all. You’ll be amazed at how much bushland walking we can find for you. From the well known pathways through to little side tracks and sneaky little shortcuts – we’ll have you well and truly lost in your surroundings in no time. Enjoy a delicious lunch on the banks of the river before going through a quick safety briefing and getting ready to paddle!
You’ll feel safe and secure in our very stable and secure double boats – complete with space for your gear and seats with backrests. Plus have the complete attention of our experienced guides on the river. Jump on board and practice some strokes before paddling up and drifting down the Yarra River.
No paddling experience is necessary for this event so take this opportunity to join us on something a little different.
16 people maximum at this event. Minimum age is 14 years.
