Introduction

Step off the beaten track and onto the water as we guide you through the heart of the Swan Valley, one of Western Australia’s most iconic and historic wine regions.

Your adventure begins at Mandoon Estate, Western Australia’s most-awarded boutique winery (2012–2017). From here, we launch from Mandoon’s private jetty and enjoy a calm, scenic paddle along a sheltered, winding stretch of the Swan River.

After your paddle, you are welcomed back to shore at Mandoon Estate with the option to extend your experience. Choose from add-on packages such as a guided wine tasting at the Cellar Door, a beer paddle at Homestead Brewery, or wine tasting with canapés.

Designed for connection with nature, local history, and fellow travellers, our small-group tours are relaxed, inclusive, and suitable for a wide range of ages and skill levels. Whether you are new to kayaking or an experienced paddler, this experience is accessible and rewarding.

Expect to finish feeling refreshed, accomplished, and a little bit in love with the Swan Valley.

Tour Overview

We meet in the foyer at Mandoon Estate Winery, located between the Cellar Door and Homestead Brewery, before walking together to the private jetty to launch.

Your guided paddle takes you through a serene, meandering section of the Swan River. Along the way, we pause for relaxed raft-ups while your guide shares stories about the area’s cultural and historical significance.

We continue downstream to the historic Woodbridge Park for a short break, before paddling back to Mandoon Estate.

On return, your guide will escort you back to the foyer, where you may continue your experience with an optional wine tasting, beer paddle, or lunch. The perfect way to finish your time on the river.
