An introductory moving water paddle with an experienced white water instructor. Learn the skills to paddle this well known section of river and make the experience enjoyable and safe.
The Hampden Bridge to Bendeela Recreation Area is a popular and well known section of the river that can be paddled in a couple of hours. However, with changing water levels, it can become difficult to navigate and in some cases unsafe for those new to paddle craft.

Once you have navigated the rapids there is a beautiful 3km flat water section to relax and look out for some wildlife as you make your way to your final destination, the popular Bendeela Recreation Area.
