Activity itinerary

Enjoy floating down the Upper Yarra River on a river sled in this outdoor, nature-based adventure! This 2-hour journey covers 3 km downstream, winding through bends and rapids, with a mix of relaxed floats and active sections that call for paddling, maneuvering, and agility. Your adventure starts at the Warburton oval with a briefing and demo, followed by a shuttle upstream. From there, you’ll have up to 1.5 hours to explore the river at your own pace. Our purpose-built sleds are 2m long, nearly indestructible, designed for shallow rivers, easy to control, sized for adults, and suitable for kids 8+. This is a truly Australian adventure not to be missed, but remember—the Yarra is a real river, not a theme park. Conditions vary daily, and natural obstacles like rocks, branches, and logs may require paddling or standing to navigate. If you’re not a confident swimmer, consider hiring a river guide. All participants must be able to swim. Children must be accompanied by a paying adult or river guide. Wear closed-toe shoes or water booties, and PFDs are mandatory for weak swimmers and recommended for children.
