Introduction

Let us take you outdoors on a relaxing and fun kayak tour along a picturesque and charming section of the Swan River in South Perth. We start and finish our paddle next to the Coode Street Jetty. At the completion of the kayaking we reward your effort with a glass of wine or a soft drink and some snacks and nibbles. This all inclusive and pre organised ‘picnic’ allows you to unwind and take in the awesome views across the river to the city skyline. 

Come on this fun, upbeat and engaging tour and let our passionate and experienced guides share some of the areas historical, cultural, geographical and horticultural secrets with you.

Our small group guided tours are all about actively connecting you with nature rather than strenuous exercise and so cater for a wide range of ages and skill levels. 

We aim to leave you energised, relaxed and with a strong sense of accomplishment.  


Tour overview

We meet and launch beside the Coode Street Jetty in South Perth and paddle slowly towards Mends Street jetty. Turning around at Mends Street, we then have a short paddle back, all the while hugging the foreshore and taking time to admire the river expanse and urban skyline opposite. Our journey includes a ‘raft up’ where we get together ‘mid stream’ for a chat and a story.

Once we disembark back at Coode Street we enjoy a well earned glass of wine and watch the sun sink slowly in the west. A great way to end the day.

The Evening City Lights kayak tour is a gentle paddle from Coode Street to Mends Street and back to Coode Street. All up, we paddle for approximately 45 minutes. This iconic and photogenic part of the Swan River is well protected from strong winds, tides and other boat traffic.
