Had an awesome time on the Yarra River rafting trip. The instructor was super friendly, kind and really professional, which made the whole experience easy and enjoyable.
They were great with my son as well—made sure he felt comfortable and included, which meant a lot. You can tell they really care about what they do.
Thanks again for such a lovely day out. We’ll definitely be recommending it!

Highly recommend this tour. My husband and my son had never done it before and definitely had an incredible experience. After an amazing canoe ride, the guide made sure to bring us close to wild kangaroos. Just do it, you will love it!
