What To Expect
IF YOU ARE FROM A CRUISE SHIP, THIS TOUR WILL TAKE PLACE IN A 18 SEATER CANOE - NOT IN KAYAKS
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.
