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!

Serenity, with rushes of excitement. Not extreme, a really good starting point - Views were awesome, the guide was great! We want to get some gear of our own now. Definitely recommend. We had fun. Pics and vids were taken and sent to us too which was awesome

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.

Yarra river school trip - The guys at Warrandyte Adventure Tours took a group of our Outdoor Education class on a trip down the Yarra. This was a great experience with all the equipment supplied. All of the students had a good time. This was one of the best excursions I have been on.

Magnificent trip! - Spectacular day for wonderful adventure with beautiful people, very professional, super caring and sweet. Thank you Jen, Andrew, you will certainly see us again! I've learnt few tricks and few facts, saw incredible sights, got a bit of a workout, but not too much, it was PERFECT.

Work break up with a difference. - Highly recommend! Very well organised and easy to deal with. Andy and Jen were both professional, friendly and relaxed. They really focused on our group being not only being safe and getting the maximum enjoyment out of the afternoon. An excellent place to enjoy a beautiful part of the river. Some fun rapids and time to chill and swim. I will be back for a longer trip with the family.
