Canoe and Kayak Adventures
Lake Burley Griffin Kayak Tours
Explore lake Burley Griffin in our stable single or double estuary kayaks under the supervision of REAL fun guides.
Kayak tours depart in the afternoons during the winter months to make the most of the crystal clear and still paddling conditions and afternoon sun.
Wetlands Tour - $85 per person
Departs 1pm Sunday until September.
Immerse yourself in nature as you experience the 2 -3 hour wetlands tour. Departing from Commonwealth place you paddle East towards the new Kingston foreshore development. You skirt around the new Kingston Harbour before heading into the wetland area. Peaceful, narrow and full of bird life. From the silence of your kayak is the best way to explore this part of the lake. Includes afternoon tea.
Pialligo Winery Tour $115 per person including wine tasting and morning tea.
Departs Saturday at 1pm.
Spend two leisurely hours paddling across Lake Burley Griffin and up the Molonglo river to the picturesque Pialligo. Experience city cultural buildings in the central basin before it merges with the nature and beauty of the Molonglo river. Spot the birds nesting along the edge of the river. Arriving at your destination we pull the kayaks up the bank before wandering through the olive groves and grapevines at the Pialligo winery. Your friendly winery host will look after you as enjoy a tasting of the many wines on offer. You will then be served a morning tea as you enjoy the view, looking back across the vineyards with Canberra’s iconic buildings as a backdrop in the distance.
Feel free to purchase any of the wines on offer at the winery as you will be transported back to your accommodation by our courtesy bus.
