Enter the Kangaroo Valley River in NSW for an enjoyable day paddle down gentle rapids.
Paddle into the heart of the beautiful Kangaroo Valley with beautiful river banks to stop along the way. You may even decide to go for a swim. Kayaking doesn’t get any better than this!
Our meeting location is at the Safaris Kayaking Shop to park our cars at 9.15am to begin the paddle at 10am for an easy 2.5 hour paddle (8km) from Hampden Bridge through Morton National Park to Bendeela Picnic Area.
No previous kayaking experience necessary. An instructional and safety briefing will be provided by your Women Want Adventure guide.

If the river's water level is low, we adjust our starting point to Bendeela for a serene flat water paddle, which offers a different yet equally captivating experience without the rapids. When you book this trip, keep in mind these two possible scenarios. Should any adjustments be needed, we'll promptly inform you. We appreciate your understanding, as nature always has its own plans!
