Outing Highlights
Nymboida & Boyd: Grade 1–3 Whitewater and Tranquil Pools
Paddlers move between surging grade 1–3 rapids and deep, tranquil pools on the Nymboida and Boyd Rivers, a route that also showcases steep-sided valleys, rainforest pockets and towering granite cliffs—the same corridor where you might spot native wildlife including platypus.
Overnight Wilderness Campsites under the Stars
The camp includes a wilderness overnight stay in private campsites beside the river—sleeping mats and tents are provided—where evenings are spent around a campfire sharing locally sourced meals and letting the valley’s quiet do its work.
Local, Qualified Whitewater Instruction
Exodus Adventures provides experienced whitewater instructors and guides with decades of local knowledge, offering expert training in skills, safety and rescue so the experience is accessible to beginners through intermediate paddlers.
