Really enjoyed the trip down the river with Carl and Kevin our guides. Carl is very knowledgeable about the local birdlife and environment.

I highly recommend this tour. The kayaking required very little effort, which was a surprise. We learnt so much about the local area, bird life and flora. Would like to try the Penguin Island one now.

brought the family, 3 kids, and grandmum, and wife. Everyone really enjoyed it, the price wasn't cheap but I felt was worth it. The guide was great, the scenery amazing and definitely recommend

The guided tour on Canning River was a great experience for all ages. The kids are paired up with an adult on the way down to our destination picnic area. On our return trip, the kids are more confident to sit with each other, while mum and dad get to enjoy a romantic cruise along the river. The guide was very friendly and informative. Showing us and naming all the river birds that passes us by. Got to see the wildlife that we used to see only on TV or internet. No prior kayaking skills required. The guide will give you a quick course on how to paddle and maneuver. Life vest also provided. Great activity with the kids all season.

Loved it. Beautiful scenery and lots of wildlife. The guide was great and catered the tour to our skill level. Would definitely recommend.

Incredibly disappointing experience. I booked the kayak hire at Shoalwater Bay to go with my young daughter. We drove over an hour to get to the meeting place to find that the address provided was wrong. When we finally got to the right place the operator was unhappy because he had brought a kayak and life jackets for adults only. I told him there is nowhere in the booking to enter the ages of participants to which he replied there most certainly is. Even today, there still is not. He said I should’ve booked direct, but still today bookings are accepted through Adrenaline. The pictures on Adrenaline show younger children so I expected this information wasn’t critical. We changed the kayak to a smaller one, but he was so disorganised he didn’t even have spare children’s life jackets. He put her in an adult’s life jacket, did it up tight and said it would be fine. We went to the water and I made a silly mistake when jumping on the kayak and we tipped over. The water was very calm and it wasn’t a big deal but the operator came along and said he was cancelling the hire. I think he was concerned about his liability if something went wrong and he had put a child in an adults life jacket. Still, his manner was quite rude, never accepting any responsibility for the wrong address, unspecifiable ages or incorrect life jackets. The person running the experience was disorganised and rude. A refund was given for the experience but nothing to compensate for the day or petrol that was wasted.

Wonderful solo tour with Carl the guide as I happened to be the only person who’d booked for a tour that day. Carl was very knowledgeable on the natural environment and the European history of that part of the river and although I live in Perth and grew up near the Canning River I learnt a lot. We were lucky enough to see most of the resident bird species on and above the river, including the elusive Spoonbill. Highly recommended.

Fantastic experience! I highly recommend Rivergods and would definitely tour with them again. Very professional and well organised, catering for those (me) with zero experience kayaking. Saw the beautiful sea lions and penguins up close and enjoyed a lovely healthy picnic lunch on the island, followed by a swim/snorkel in the ocean.

This is a great way to enjoy penguin island. Pick up on time and then a trip on the kayaks to sea the sea lions . It’s amazing how close you get . We then headed to penguin island and had a informational tour of everything we saw. Penguin feeding was great and the lunch was much needed after a busy morning. Snorkelling and sunbathing completed our time before we headed back to shore. Shout out for Karl and his help during the trip . Recommended.

We (3) arranged an independent hire of 1 DBL and 1 SGL sea kayaks to use at Shoalwater Marine Park. Tom was excellent with taking the telephone booking and payment for next day hire, and very accommodating. All immediately confirmed with an email confirmation. Great price and so much fun. The next morning 0845, we met the van and guide to help receive our kayaks off the trailer. After a how to and area brief, we were off. The day of hire we had very clam water, with little swell and light off shore winds. The water is very clear and we enjoyed paddling around the islands, seeing the wildlife and snorkeling at the rear of Penguin island. Even had a friendly seal come bounding over to our kayak to say hello. Amazing! Return at 1400 was very easy. We were back before the tour group, and as we were physically capable, we loaded the equipment back onto the trailer, and confirmed to Tom with a quick call. Really liked the choice of guided tour or independent hire, as we like to do our own thing at our own pace. Rivergods made it all very easy. I would highly recommend the experience to anyone visiting the area. Plenty of space in stowage for lunch, water, sunblock, camera, snorkel gear, shoes etc.

Paddle pass was cheap and convenient way to explore the beautiful Canning river if you are on holidays and don't have your own kayak (or kayak transport)

Tom is so friendly & helpful. My elderly Mum & I had a delightful morning paddling tandem from Kent St Weir, followed by coffee. It was Mum's first paddle in her life & she loved it!

the tranquillity of the trip considering how close we are to civilisation. Great experience that is recommended

It was an amazing experience with a great guide and a pleasant view of the canning river. Definitely will come back next time.

My partner and I had an amazing morning on this tour. The tour guide was very knowledgeable regarding the history, fauna & flora of the river. We saw many different species of birds and ended the tour feeling totally relaxed.
