Kayaking and Caving Adventure - Melbourne, VIC
The Experience
When was the last time you had an adventure? The kind that excited you, made your heart thump, showed you a new, foreign world…and all within an hour’s drive from the city centre? This Kayaking and Caving trip is perfect for those who want to experience Victoria's great outdoors.
Your day will begin with a quick briefing and skills session. Then you’ll begin your kayak through grade 1-2 rapids as you head downstream. Don’t worry all paddling and safety gear, helmet and flotation device will be included, so all you’ll have to focus on is having an awesome time!
After you dry off you’ll have the opportunity to share your adventures over lunch before heading off to the caves of Yarra Junction. You'll strap on some knee pads, a helmet and a head torch and climb, slither, push and navigate your way through an exciting cave system. Inside this brand new world you will see phosphorous glow worms, cave crickets and other amazing cave-dwelling critters.
When you emerge into the light you'll have two awesome adventures under your belt.
Our friendly professional guides are trained specialists in their field and will provide you with the knowledge, understanding and equipment to ensure your success.
