This paddling adventure along the sublime waterways of Popran National Park on the Central Coast makes for a great day trip from Sydney.
It’s easy to do with the help of River Adventures. They supply all the food and equipment, and no paddling experience is needed. Simply hop into one of their stable double kayaks, and before you know it you’ll be gliding along this beautiful river past towering sandstone cliffs.
Exploring with their friendly guides, you’ll discover shipwrecks and waterfalls and learn about an area steeped in Aboriginal heritage and early settler history. When it’s time for a tea break, pull up onto an untouched riverside beach, then stretch your legs with a short hike to a lookout for breathtaking views of local waterways.
River Adventures is a licensed commercial tour operator with a Parks Eco Pass.
