You'll launch onto calm water and spend three hours exploring channels bordered by native vegetation. Your guide shares insights into the wetland ecosystem, indigenous heritage and the area's role in Perth's geography. Paddling is leisurely—the focus is on observation and conversation rather than covering distance or building fitness.
