Highlights
Outing Highlights
Clarence Canoe & Kayak Trail — the longest mapped whitewater in Australia
Covering the Clarence system between Nymboi‑Binderay National Park and Copmanhurst, the trail spans extensive, varied whitewater; the shuttle and hire service focuses on keeping you on the water along the Boyd and Nymboida river sections.
Shuttles, trailers and group transport handled
Exodus runs dedicated Boyd and Nymboida shuttles and maintains a fleet that includes 11‑seater troopies, a 24‑seater bus and multiple canoe trailers to simplify transfers and gear movement so you spend less time hauling and more time paddling.
Safety, monitoring and hire beyond a boat
Operators monitor river heights and your location while you’re on the river, provide a pre‑departure safety and river skills briefing, and offer an extensive hire list that includes camping, satellite and rescue equipment plus half‑ or full‑day whitewater training.
What the day feels like
How the five‑day shuttle + hire experience feels
This is a logistics‑first offering: over five days Exodus Adventures stages pickups and drop‑offs, issues equipment, runs safety and skills talks, monitors river heights and your tour progress, and opens exclusive private‑property access along the Nymboida — all designed to maximise on‑water time and minimise shore‑side friction.

Details to review before reserving
Operators recommend robust waterproofing: high‑quality garden draw‑tight garbage bags for 60L canoe barrels and spare large clip seal bags for personal items; note that standard dry bags do not fit efficiently into canoe barrels.
Beyond canoes, Exodus hires camping, satellite and rescue equipment and can provide whitewater training sessions; read the operator's Hire Policy & Rescue & Recovery Policy before booking.
For group transport (including the 24‑seater bus) and shuttle enquiries call 0410 404 078 or email [email protected] to discuss vehicle availability.
