IMF Kayak Tours & Hire

FULL DAY GUIDED TUMUT RIVER ADVENTURE

Your experience begins with a Central Wagga location pickup followed by a 90-minute drive to our start location at the Blowering Dam wall on the Tumut River. Once we arrive, there will be a short discussion on the format for the day, including lunch breaks, distance expected to kayak, and expected weather conditions. You are then kitted up with all your gear before the all-important safety briefing and instruction.

After the safety briefing, it’s time to hit the river. On the first flat-water section, you will learn how to steer the kayaks to prepare you for the rapids that lie ahead. If you’re looking for a fun outdoor activity that will get your heart racing, you’re in the right place!

You will paddle through some of the most scenic parts of the Tumut River. During the day you could see a range of wildlife on the riverbanks, such as kangaroos, wallabies, echidnas and koalas. We have even seen platypuses in the river, and there are always many water birds.

This trip is for the more adventurous and experienced paddler as we can cover up to 35 km on the water!

Highly Recommend to anyone. Service is impeccable, great communication and lots of fun. Would give a higher rating if it was available. Value for money and great way to relax. I am definitely an ongoing supporter.

Enquire About TUMUT RIVER ADVENTURE

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

We had a fantastic experience when hiring kayaks from In Motion Fitness. Mick had great communication in organising the best kayaking experience for us prior to our trip up from Melbourne (dependent on our experience level) and even dropped off and picked up the kayaks from different places for us. Could not recommend more!
