Tallowa Dam Sunken Forest Exploration Canoe Hire Full Day (2-seater Ultralight Canoe)

For those who need performance and a lightweight vessel. Our ultralight fleet consists of a range of Wenonah canoe designs all made of ultra-light and ultra-strong aramid fibre (commonly known as Kevlar). This creates a stiff, strong and light package which has unrivalled benefits for performance on the water. These canoe models reward good technique for those that have a little more experience paddling.

Travel to one of Kangaroo Valley’s sunken forests for a picnic and some peace and tranquillity. This is one of Kangaroo Valley's most scenic and remote locations, easily accessible in a single day.
