Canoes & Kayaks

Two kayaks rest in the water at the edge of the Cooks River in Sydney.  The kayaks are bright orange. The sky is blue and reflected in the rippling surface of the river. The river bank has Mangrove trees.

Close to the city but you feel far away.

You will be amazed by how much there is to learn, explore and discover on Wolli Creek, Cooks River and around Rodd Point.

"Had a fun hour on the water with my 2 kids...  I've never stepped foot in a canoe or kayak before, but felt confident with the instructions provided. Only takes minutes to get away from the high rises and along the river, some very peaceful places to see. Looking forward to trying it out again!"

Simone, Wolli Creek.

Kids and Dogs

Hired two canoes for the four of us and raced each other up the Cooks River. Our 9 year old enjoyed scooping up rubbish whilst the dog jumped in to swim between the canoes. Lovely at high tide. Stopped at Steel Park for a picnic. The water-proof bag provided for our phones was a great idea. Canoes were nice and stable. Easy to book and pay.

Steve, Strathfield

The great thing about canoes is that, subject to weight and age restrictions, you can fit a whole 2 + 2 family in one boat. Our NSW made Bushranger canoes are super stable, comfortable and spacious. The most affordable way to get out on the water. An amazing Family Holiday activity.

​

​Canoes and Kayaks come with paddles, lifejackets, sunscreen, hats, rain coats, water proof satchel and phone protector. We provide instructions for your adventure and challenges to make this an outing to be remembered. Focus on your wellness, health and fitness on the peaceful Cooks River.

​

We also have super stable single enclosed Barra kayaks for paddling solo, or in groups, or to add alongside a canoe for those extra kids, or third wheels.
