BIRTHDAY PARTIES

Looking for the perfect Kids Birthday Party Venue?

Kids parties are always so much fun, but they can be expensive, time-consuming to organise and finding the right party places can be difficult. Fear not! Our Kayak Birthday Parties are here to make your life easier by providing you with an alternative kid’s party experience in Wagga Wagga!

These outdoor birthday parties will not only keep your child entertained for hours but will also provide them with some much-needed exercise too. So when the party is over, they’ll have absolutely no problems with getting to sleep!

Let your kids explore kayaking on the Murrumbidgee River or Lake Albert, a real adventure for active children. Safety is always our priority. We will cover everything your kids need to know about kayaking on the waterways.

We start all birthday parties with a short safety briefing and then onto the water where the fun begins. We make sure the children are in control of their kayak by teaching them some basic manoeuvring and general kayaking skills before making our way along the river or lake.

If you are looking for something different to do on your child’s birthday this year, then a kayaking birthday party could be just the thing! Whatever your requirements, we’ll do our best to make it happen!!

We provide all kayaks and safety equipment.

We advise all kids to come dressed to get wet. Swimmers and or non-cotton insulating layers are best, while polyester and wool are even better. If your child has their own wetsuit they are welcome to wear that as well.

Please bring secure footwear, as well as sunscreen and a sun hat.

Sunglasses are encouraged but please ensure the glasses have a strap. If your child wears eyeglasses please make sure they also have a secure strap.

After the party, kids are usually wet, so we suggest bringing a towel. Please leave any valuables at home or in the car.

Paddlers over 110kg will need to be in a double kayak. Will anyone in your group be requiring one of these kayaks?

Thank you so much Mick/ IMF for an amazing day on the Murrumbidgee! Though exhausting for all the best reasons, laughter and sore muscles with the perfect group. Such a beautiful experience again, after our previous one and it will definitely not be our last trip! I look forward to the next time on the Murrumbidgee kayaking with your team. Thank you and would totally recommend this to anyone who would ask!
