Your half day canoeing adventure starts at Wyuna on the Lower Gouburn River National Park which is 25-km east of Echuca.
The river in this region is ideal for canoeing with only canoes and some local fishermen to be seen.
The pristine red gum forest supports a wide variety of water and forest birds, and if you’re really lucky you may get a glimpse of a shy platypus or two.Wyuna is just over two hours due north from Melbourne.
We contact you, following your booking, and arrange times and meeting places. On the day, we meet on the Murray Valley Highway then you follow us to Yambuna Bridge where your vehicle is safely parked.
We then will drive you upstream the appropriate distance and fit you with safety vests and dry bags for cameras and other personal items and you paddle off downstream to the bridge.
