Flatwater Guided Tour
Overview
The Flatwater Guided Tour is 2 hours on the river.
Glide through a living postcard as you paddle your canoe along the Bellinger River.
This is gentle, easy paddling, perfect for exploring hidden estuaries, tranquil billabongs, and sparkling swimming holes. Along the way, your guide will share stories of the river's rich history and natural treasures.
Keep your eyes peeled—playful dolphins, curious koalas, elegant egrets, soaring eagles, leaping fish or even the occasional swimming cow might cross your path!
After your adventure, relax riverside with a well-earned treat—fresh croissants and seasonal fruit to finish your journey.
