Two Day Guided BIG Canoe Camping Tour

Escape to the wilderness in a BIG canoe. Enjoy the serenity of a remote overnight camping experience with an expert guide.

Come and jump in a very BIG Canoe and experience some of Australia's most scenic flatwater paddling venue. These boats are incredibly stable along with being accessible and inclusive for a wide range of abilities. They are a lovely way for everyone to be able to share some time together in nature.

With up to 9 people in a boat with all of your equipment, it's a fun and comfortable way to spend time with friends and make new ones!

*The BIG canoes require a minimum of 6 people to depart.

This overnight canoe tour takes you canoeing through the scenic Shoalhaven Gorge from Tallowa Dam. This amazing section of the river draws many experienced paddlers to the valley but has many hidden secrets that often go unnoticed. Let us take you on a life changing and memorable experience as we show you the best this area has to offer. We look forward to sharing with you the secrets of the Upper Shoalhaven Gorge – come and experience it in a way that not many do and feel a million miles away from home for a night. BIG canoes mean that we don’t need to leave the luxuries behind, but our goal is to leave as little trace of our visit as possible, and living connected to the landscape with minimal distraction and fluff. While we’ll have camp chairs, we’ll encourage you to sit on the earth. While we’ll have tents, we’ll invite you to sleep under a tarp or in the open. 

The mighty Shoalhaven River flows 327kms from the Great Dividing Range, east of Cooma, dropping 865m to the ocean at Shoalhaven Heads. 

This is a proper unsupported minimal impact camping experience focusing on minimal impact/leave no trace camping in small groups.

Valley Outdoors is delighted to be your host on this overnight expedition within the spectacular and remote Morton National Park. Journey down the imposing gorges dissecting the landscape alongside pockets of rainforest that are full of wildlife. We’ll ensure you are well equipped, and journey is smooth in the enormous landscape.

Valley Outdoors may change the location in correspondence with the customer if weather conditions change or if national park closures are in effect at the time of your booking.
