Conquer the Rapids on the Ovens River

Embark on an unforgettable packrafting journey down the spectacular Ovens River! This beginner-friendly adventure offers the perfect blend of tranquil floating and splashy excitement, making it an ideal day out for families and first-time paddlers. 🌊

What to Expect

Your journey begins at the scenic Clearwater Reserve in Myrtleford, where our expert guides will provide personalised coaching to build your confidence on the water. Once you have mastered the basic paddle skills, you will set off downstream along the pristine, alpine waters of the Ovens River.

Soak up the idyllic surrounds of the region as you gently float through calm stretches, before gearing up for the thrill of low-level (Grade 1 and 2) white-water rapids towards the end of your trip. We have even organised a convenient car shuffle at the snow road bridge finish point, ensuring your vehicle is waiting for you when you arrive! 🛶
