FAQs

How long is the kayak tour?

The tour is 90 minutes in total.

Will we have to paddle against the tide?

Your kayak guides will lead the journey depending on the tide times, so you always kayak with the tide on your side for the home stretch. So the first half might be a challenge, but you'll get to cruise on the way back!

Can you book private group kayak tours?

Yes! Private group bookings are available for participants of 6 or more people.

Is there an age restriction?

The minimum age for day kayaking tours is 8 years old. Children 12 years of age and under must be accompanied by an adult. 

Are there any weight or heigh restrictions?

There are no height restrictions for this activity. Maximum weight guidelines for this activity is 120kg. Please speak to a Riverlife staff member for further information regarding this.

What should I wear for the tour?

Wear comfortable, active clothes and that you do not mind getting wet. You'll be kayaking barefoot! Showers and change rooms are available onsite.

Do I have to be a confident swimmer?

You aren't swimming on this tour, so it's ok if you're not the best swimmer. You will have a Personal Flotation Device (Lifejacket) to ensure you are floating if you fall in, and instructors will always be nearby to help you out.

 

Where does the kayak tour depart?

Kayak tours depart from Riverlife’s pontoon at Riverlife Adventure Centre, Naval Stores, Kangaroo Point.
