Fun N.Y. Day river trip - Thanks to Andy for guiding our diverse group down the not so treacherous Yarra rapids! A great little trip with lovely fresh fruit snacks and salad wraps at lunch. :-)) Somehow he managed to get some good video shots while assisting us to negotiate some of the narrower bits - thanks Andy. In particular, thanks for towing Grandma and Grandad for a short stretch to give us a rest, even though we didn't really need it - we were just taking advantage of his kind offer! A thoroughly enjoyable trip that was very professionally run in an extremely friendly way.

Fantastic kayaking experience - We had a great time paddling along the Yarra river. The rapids were fun, but not too intense. Lovely scenery with some interesting facts from our guide. Andrew was relaxed but in control, with a great sense of humour. I thought his instructions at the beginning of the morning were really useful and informative. Would highly recommend this trip!

Raft in Yarra Ranges with Warrendyte Adventure Tours! - Such a fun day out, we booked last minute as wanted to explore the Yarra Ranges and Yarra River. Jen & Andrew were so accommodating and easiest to book and pay direct with them! Fantastic day rafting, really enjoyed Andrews’s knowledge of the flora and fauna of the area, reaching us all the paddle techniques and my teens (13 & 15) could go solo in their own raft which was very cool. Fantastic family day out! Highly recommend this trip with Warrandyte Adventure Tours!

A rafting experience to remember - Jen and Jarrah were amazing guides who were super friendly and fun, but also very professional and made us feel safe. It was a beautiful experience paddling along the Yarra and going through the rapids all whilst being immersed in nature and gorgeous scenery. Jen also took photos and videos which were a nice thing to keep for looking back on, and also gave us snacks along the way! I would highly recommend the Yarra Rafting experience with Warrandyte Adventure Tours.

A trip down the Yarra with captain Jen & first mate Ruby - What an excellent experience. Jen and her amazing four legged support team Ruby treated us to an amazing half day rafting down the Yarra. She was very well organised, a great, knowledgeable and patient instructor and guide. Myself and my two young sons had a really special time. Jen took loads of pics and videos of us during the trip, which she airdropped us at the end. A great time and I can recommend it highly. We’re now looking at doing the longer full day excursion as it was such a great day.
