Connect with Your Community
Start your Tuesday on a high note. These off-season social paddles are the perfect opportunity to clear your head, catch up with old friends, or meet like-minded locals who share a love for the outdoors, all while floating through beautiful regional landscapes.
Accessible Waterway Adventures
We believe the beauty of the Sapphire Coast belongs to everyone. If you have your own kayak and gear, joining us is completely free! No gear? No worries at all. You can easily pre-book a kayak and equipment hire for just $20.
Skill Up and Join In
Paddlers of all generations are welcome, provided you have basic paddling skills. If you are new to the water or feeling a bit rusty, book onto one of our standard guided kayak tours first to build up your confidence and necessary safety skills.
Protect Our River Systems
We are committed to leaving our natural playgrounds better than we found them. During each one-hour paddle, we gather vital citizen science data by conducting a quick litter collection and audit, actively helping to keep the Sapphire Coast’s pristine waterways clean.
