About this tour
Paddle Geelong's sheltered waterways on a 90-minute kayak tour designed for newcomers. All gear is supplied—kayak, paddle, life jacket and dry bag—so you just show up ready to go. Choose between a guided paddle from Highton with delivery included, or collect your kayak from Belmont and explore the river at your own pace. The flat water here suits recreational paddling rather than open ocean or rapids.

What to expect
This is straightforward flat-water paddling on Geelong's calm river systems. You'll get a stable kayak and full safety kit. If you book the guided option, staff deliver everything to Highton and see you off; if you're confident transporting gear, collect from Belmont and choose your own route. Either way, expect gentle conditions and a manageable pace—no whitewater or ocean swells. The whole experience assumes you're reasonably fit and comfortable in a small boat.
Good to know
Moderate fitness required. Maximum kayak weight capacity is 120kg. Not suitable for poor cardiovascular health. Delivery to Highton costs an extra $20. Kayaks are river-only; open ocean paddling isn't an option here.
