About this tour
Paddle through Blackwall Reach's 500-metre stretch of limestone cliffs and explore hidden caves along the Swan River. Your local guide navigates you through two hours of Western Australian geology and Indigenous heritage, sharing stories from first peoples through European settlement. You'll paddle tandem kayaks at your own pace—the focus is on discovery rather than exertion—finishing with tea or coffee back at the yacht club.

What to expect
You'll launch from the yacht club into calm waters, paddling a double kayak alongside your guide. The limestone formations rise dramatically as you move deeper into the reach. Your guide stops at viewpoints and cave entrances, weaving together stories of the Noongar people and early European colonists with explanations of the riverbanks' geology and plant life. The pace is steady and manageable—no racing, just steady paddling. You'll finish back at the club where hot drinks warm you up while you debrief the morning.
Good to know
Double kayaks require minimal paddling experience. Wear clothes you don't mind getting wet; water splashes are likely. The tour isn't suitable if you have serious spinal issues, cardiovascular concerns, or are pregnant. Check with operators about weather cancellations.
