Your Adventure
Setting off from the calm foreshore of North Fremantle, we’ll hug the river’s foreshore, paddling inland, through Mosman Park and ever-changing landscapes of luxury waterfront homes, shaded coves, sandy beaches, limestone cliffs, and secret spots even locals may not know.
You’ll discover how life looks from the water – dolphins might greet us, pelicans may glide past, black swans drift gracefully by, rays may dance below.
Keep an eye out for birdlife and local characters; the rare Carnaby’s black cockatoo and the telltale signs of rikali wandering the banks.
Glimpse WA’s vibrant boating lifestyle: elegant yachts bobbing at their moorings, hydrofoilers gliding effortlessly above the surface in the playful wake of a passing vessel and the relaxed energy of life on the Swan.
There will be exploratory rest stops, optional refreshing dips in shallow bays as well as stories and local insights about marine life and riverside culture.
After our paddle, we’ll share a light style picnic breakfast overlooking the water – a chance to share stories of adventure and soak up the serenity.
This is more than a tour. It’s like being invited to explore a friend’s secret riverside backyard. You’ll feel completely looked after while discovering the true magic of this special place.
