THE FLEX

Choose your time and place

The rental is designed around choice: a single 10‑hour hire lets you start when and where it suits you, using the equipment on the Murrumbidgee River or any closed waterway.

THE SAFETY BASICS

Life jackets on at all times

Personal flotation devices are provided and must be worn whenever you are on the water; hirers must complete and sign the hire conditions before setting off.

THE FAMILY OPTION

Ages 4+ — options for single or double kayaks

The hire policy accommodates young paddlers: children under 12 must share a kayak with an adult and sit in the front seat; the operator provides single and double kayaks with specified maximum loads.

What the day feels like

What the day feels like

You collect your kit, complete a brief conditions form, clip on a life jacket and push off for an open, self-directed day on calm water. With a full ten hours, the pace is yours: short circuits and moments of stillness, or a longer downstream drift where logjams and eddies mark the passage of a long afternoon.

Suitability

Who it's for

Who this rental suits — and who should rethink it.

1
Solo adultsIndependent paddlers aged 18 and over can hire alone and run a full day on the water, provided they stay within the kayak's single-person weight limit.
2
Families with young childrenFamilies work well if an adult shares a double kayak with children under 12 (children must occupy the front seat); minors under 18 must be accompanied by an adult.
3
Casual day paddlersThis rental is ideal for people who want a leisurely, self-paced day rather than a guided trip—expect to carry responsibility for route choice and kit care for the entire hire.
4
Heavier paddlers or tandem teamsCheck the kayak weight limits before booking: single kayaks max at 110 kg and doubles at 270 kg, which determines whether a solo or tandem setup is appropriate.

On‑water etiquette

Be prepared to get wet and limit valuables; the operator accepts no responsibility for the loss or damage of personal belongings while on hire.

Equipment care & returns
