Australia’s longest mapped whitewater trail
The Clarence Canoe & Kayak Trail stretches across more than 195 km of varied whitewater between Nymboi-Binderay National Park and Copmanhurst—Exodus’ shuttle service helps you sample key sections without the road logistics.
Shuttles, private access and real local knowledge
Exodus supplies Boyd and Nymboida river shuttles, exclusive access to private-property riverfronts, monitoring of river heights and rain while you’re on the water, and over 35 years of regional whitewater experience to advise on each section.
Comprehensive hire options and safety-focused briefings
Beyond canoes, hire options include camping, satellite and rescue equipment; all hires include an experienced guide-led safety and river skills briefing, and half- or full-day whitewater training is available.
What the day feels like
What the three-day shuttle-and-hire feels like
This service minimizes time off the water: you arrive prepared, receive a safety and river-skills briefing from an experienced guide, and use Exodus’ vehicles and trailers to move teams and gear between put-ins and take-outs while the operator monitors river heights and weather and provides timely updates.

Details to review before reserving
Waterproof personal packing is essential: use high-quality heavy-duty garbage bags for waterproofing 60L canoe barrels and spare large clip-seal bags for personal items; note that dry bags do not fit efficiently into canoe barrels.
Operator recommends Multix-style garden drawtight garbage bags for 60L canoe barrels and clip-seal bags for personal items; follow their waterproofing guidance for hired canoe barrels.
Exodus hires more than canoes: an extensive list includes camping, satellite and rescue equipment alongside boats and paddling kit.
All hires include an experienced guide-led safety and river-skill talk before launch; half- or full-day whitewater training sessions are available before or as part of a dry hire.
Review cancellation policies before reserving.
