THE ROUTE

Clarence Canoe & Kayak Trail — Australia’s longest mapped whitewater trail

The Clarence Canoe & Kayak Trail is the longest mapped whitewater trail in Australia, running across a diverse set of paddling conditions and river scenery between protected parkland and rural townships.

THE SUPPORT

Shuttle logistics and equipment so you paddle more

The service bundles shuttles for Boyd and Nymboida river sections with an extensive fleet and trailer capability, plus hire of camping, satellite and rescue equipment to simplify multi‑day or day trips.

THE GUIDANCE

Local knowledge, safety briefings and river monitoring

An experienced guide provides a safety and river‑skills briefing before launch; the operator monitors participants, river heights and weather and will update you while you are on the river.

What the day feels like

How the service feels on the water

The offering is designed to reduce logistics friction — you meet at Buccarumbi, load gear and can be shuttled to chosen Boyd or Nymboida sections with equipment supplied and a pre‑launch safety talk; the operator provides ongoing monitoring and the option of whitewater training so paddlers spend more time running rapids and less time managing transport and kit.
