A azingly good value family outdoor adventure with a ecofriendly feel good twist. - We created memories our family will laugh about for years 😄. Even the historical boatshed we started from is so cool and quirky, and the young, surfie dudes working there, who were off duty surf lifeguards, were so chilled and friendly. This has got to be the most affordable, family activity around. It's like something out of the 80's , both in old school adventurousness and the cheap price! Beautiful creek once you paddle upstream for 10 minutes or so and a massive wetland restoration project that is underway we paddled through on the journey. Very cool to think part of our boat hire cost goes towards this project 💚 . Higly recommend.
