Overview

Paddle out to the middle of the wonderfully calm Lake McLaren in a kayak, where serenity takes a new name.

Itinerary

Enjoy the wonderful calm Lake McLaren where serenity takes a new name. Gently paddle past a multitude of birdlife, literally within paddles' reach. Sheer cliffs break the stark lush native bush as gentle streams enter the lake's edge. Paddle into the stunning Mangapapa canyon with water as deep as the cliffs on the sides, where the native bush appears to touch and form a cave.

The steep canyons, mist hovering over the river and the sun filtering through the trees and ferns. Jes was a wonderful guide adding much about the area.

David was an excellent guide for a wonderful time on the waters of Lake McLaren. From the pick up point, his reassuring, relaxed and informative manner assisted us to totally enjoy a day of great fun and immersive scenery. Throughout the excursion we felt safe, relaxed and completely looked after. David's happy, caring disposition was appreciated and the experience and scenery was truly memorable.

First time kayaking and it was super easy. Guide was informative and the scenery was awesome. Was picked up and dropped off from cruise port. Highly recommend as a day excursion when your ship is in port.

Had a great day at Lake McLean. The scenic drive was beautiful and the kayaking was great! Shout out to our guide Christie, who looked after us. He was terrific - really informative.

This was a fabulous experience right from the beginning with our guides being so friendly and welcoming! Both guides seemed to be very knowledgeable about the area and they were also very helpful. The paddling of the kayaks was approximately 1-1/2 to 2 hours which was a little long for me, but I would highly recommend this tour just to see the beauty of Mcclaren lake and to learn about the glow worms. Thank you to Darough (spelling???) & Kris…excellent guides!
