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 our kayaks from Mandoon’s private jetty and enjoy a calm, scenic paddle along a sheltered, winding stretch of the Swan River.

After your paddle, you’ll be welcomed back to shore with a premium tasting of six Mandoon Estate wines, hosted by the knowledgeable team at the Cellar Door.

Our tours are designed for connection – with nature, with local history, and with fellow travellers. Whether you’re new to kayaking or have paddled before, our small-group experiences are relaxed, inclusive, and perfect for a wide range of ages and skill levels.

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, between the Cellar Door and Homestead Brewery, then walk together down to the private jetty to launch.

Your guided paddle takes you through a serene, meandering section of the Swan River. Along the way, we’ll pause for “raft-ups” to share stories about the area’s cultural and historical significance.

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

Once we return, your guide will walk you to the Cellar Door for a well-earned wine tasting – the perfect finish to the experience.
