Bermagui River Kayak Tour

A Peaceful Paddle Through Mangroves, Bellbirds & Morning Tea

Join us on our Bermagui River Kayak tour for a leisurely paddle up the river and back.  Pass mangroves where we often see herons foraging on the shoreline and cormorants drying their wings on tree branches. Further up river, we’ll make time to take in the natural surroundings and listen to the tranquil sound of the bell birds. We’ll stop along the river bank for morning tea break and if the weather is lovely, perhaps even a swim before heading back to where we started.

Glide past thriving mangrove ecosystems
Suitable for beginners and experienced paddlers

Bermagui River Mangroves & Bellbirds

Glide past thriving mangroves and local oyster leases on this leisurely river escape. Immerse yourself in the tranquil chime of bellbirds while keeping a sharp eye out for the brilliant flash of an azure kingfisher and majestic white-bellied sea eagles soaring high above the canopy.
