Explore Western Australia's spectacular waterways on a kayak or canoe. Float lazily down tranquil rivers, paddle into secluded coves or hurtle down wild whitewater rapids.
Maps for canoe and kayak trails will be available shortly. In the meantime here are some areas where you will be able to hire a canoe or join a tour operator and enjoy some time out on the water.
In Bridgetown, the Blackwood River offers rapids and white water upstream, especially in the winter months, while downstream of Nannup it is broad and gentle surrounded by lush green forest.
Or head to Walpole, where you can canoe along the Frankland River through national reserves and dense woodlands. Look out for an abundance of native flora and fauna along the banks as you silently glide along.
The Murray River offers an exhilarating white water rafting experience for amateurs and seasoned rafters alike. Contact the Dwellingup Visitor Information Centre for information about self-guided or supported tours.
To get up close and personal with the pristine Ningaloo Reef, be sure to indulge in a spot of sea kayaking.
Trips to Monkey Mia take you into the Shark Bay heritage area, while at Seal Island and Penguin Island near Rockingham you can get within a whisker of sea lions, little penguins and dolphins.
