Part of the Geelong Canoe Club’s River Ramble series, these events are relaxed, social paddles open to adults (minimum age 18 years) of all paddling abilities.

River Rambles are designed for social and community connection, where participants can get out on the water in a friendly, social and safe manner.

Led by Paddle Australia qualified guides, participants will learn about the native wildlife, ecology, Indigenous perspectives and history, and the impact of introduced species along the river as they paddle.

All paddling equipment (sit-on-top kayak, paddle, life vest) and insurance is provided. While participants do not require previous experience paddling, they need to be able to swim short distances in the unlikely event they end up in the water.
