Fantastic - Fantastic family time on the river! Our friendly guide was more than happy to share his knowledge of local flora and fauna. Enjoyed every minute gliding through the water together and having a different perspective of our local area.

Highlight of during my Sapphire Coast road trip - I booked the Pambula River kayaking tour. Our tour guide, Lara, was super friendly and informative. The river was serene. We stopped midway at a quiet beach near the river mouth for a quick swim and snack. The water was incredible. Definitely the best way to experience Pambula river.

A memorable experience - A most pleasant experience for moderately fit people. We started at Pambula Lake and leisurely paddled downstream. The guides were great, providing interesting comments on the local flora, fauna and history. The tour included a stop for morning tea, which gave us an occasion to stretch our legs and explore the beach. Highly recommended, I would certainly consider doing it again when in Eden.

Great way to spend a morning - We had a fantastic morning out on Pambula river with Kerrie. The area is stunning. Kerrie gave us some great tips on kayak technique and was very friendly and knowledgeable. Morning tea was a welcome stop for a swim and some delicious brownies. The meet and return point had clean public loos, lots of parking and a lovely cafe at the oyster farm. Our small group stayed to have lunch there after kayaking. We spotted loads of wildlife! A lovely way to spend a morning.
