Additional Information

Our rendezvous point is the Mandoon Estate Winery in Caversham, where we take off from Mandoon’s private jetty on the Swan River. We leisurely paddle downriver, appreciating the idyllic landscape and the unique diversity of flora and fauna in this tranquil, winding segment of the river. Our adventure includes several ‘raft up’s’, where we join hands ‘mid-river’ for a casual conversation and a tale or two. Our route further leads us to the historic Woodbridge Park where we pause for some leg-stretching. A brief paddle back to Mandoon where we land, and a short walk up to the Cellar Door awaits us. There, indulge in a well-deserved wine sampling, coffee, tea or a fizzy drink. A picture-perfect way to conclude the day.

Fantastic, interesting morning out on the river! - Fantastic tour! Faultlessly organised, every aspect very professional. Matt is an extremely knowledgeable guide and presents information in an interesting and accessible way. He is also very friendly and personable. Winery was very busy but the tasting was well run and again, superbly organised. Highly recommend this tour.

Always brilliant. - This is the 3rd Mandoon Winery and Kayak Tour I've been on - each time with different groups of friends who were jealous of missing out on our last trip - and the 5th kayaking trip I've been on with Matt and GoGo Active Tours. Matt always selects a great part of the river to explore and does so much research about the local flora and faun it's great. Doesn't matter how many trips I've been on, I'm always learning about the indigenous and the settlers' history of each region. Not only is it a fun day of exercise in the great outdoors, it's incredibly informative! I keep coming back for more. Thanks Matt. Naomi B

Professional and very well run with top of the range equipment. - Excellent well organised trip - thoroughly recommended. Beautiful paddle on the Swan, followed by wine tasting at Mandoon. Matt and Sue were super friendly and even though we are a couple in our 70s the paddling was easy and not at all strenuous.

Beautiful place to explore, great company! - Matt and Kevin were both friendly and enthusiastic, patient and kind, genuinely interested in helping everyone to remain safe, have fun and learn a little on the way. It's a beautiful part of Perth, glad we went with them on the day. Fabulous location, great wine, such lovely company and the warmest people you could meet. Thanks again, Matt and Kevin, great to learn and enjoy a little explore on those amazing kayaks!

Fabulous excursion for locals and tourists alike - A thoroughly enjoyable couple of hours spent on the river in the historic Swan Valley area. Top-of-the-range kayaks provided comfort and easy steering. Informative commentary at regular stops was provided by Matt and Kevin, giving much historic detail I wasn't aware of even after 30+ years in Perth. The wine tasting afterwards was a bonus and the wine went down really well after a warm morning's exercise!
