      Perfect morning for a kayak on the Pambula River
      A fantastic morning kayak tour on the Pambula River, led by David and Josh. The weather was perfect, the tour was great, and the guides were friendly, helpful and informative. I would definitely recommend the tour. I had initially booked another date but there were not enough bookings for the tour to go ahead so Jessica was great at communicating all options and I was lucky enough to be able to go today.

      Beautiful parks
      We did the 5 hour tour of Eden. This was a fantastic tour! You get out of the city, into the National Park to experience the true nature of New Zealand. Our guide, Steve, was truly invested in teaching us about Eden. The scenery was breathtaking. It was great having a small group and the tour was well paced.

      Not to be missed!
      The Aboriginal Culture Kayak Tour with Jess and Nathan was brilliant! Expect 4hrs of incredible local knowledge, beautiful waters, and top-tier kayaking gear.

      An amazing experience
      An amazing way to experience Pambula River. Our guides, Nathan and David, were so friendly and very informative. I learnt so much about the cultural history of the area.

      Beautiful Eden
      David, our guide, took us on a wonderful walk on the National Park near Eden, Australia. He shared wonderful information on the local wildlife and vegetation. What a wonderful, relaxing day.

      Great views, knowledgeable guides
      A really great trip along the Pambula river to the rivermouth. The area was beautiful as always but was made even more special by our amazing guides and their knowledge of the area and the Indigenous history and cultural significance. The group was a really good size and the actual activity was good exercise but not overly strenuous. There is an abundance of wildlife to see and the snacks were great! Would definitely recommend.

      Treasured Family Memory
      We organised to do a kayak tour with Navigate Expeditions down the Pambula River during our extended family holiday. It included adults of various physical capabilities as well as two children. Due to some unforeseen weather conditions, our guide had to make some last minute changes to our start time to ensure that we had the best time. She took care of everything! It was so nice not to have to be the one making all the decisions and organising everyone. She even brought along a birthday muffin and candles so that we could celebrate on our own secluded beach. The whole experience was amazing and such a treasured family memory.

      Nature photography at its best
      A wonderful morning amongst nature paddling the Pambula River. Beautiful scenery, great birds, watching people use the river and the best caramel slice. So good that we were able to paddle at our own pace allowing for all experience and fitness levels and photography, knowing that Jess was keeping an eye on us all.

      Kayaking in paradise !
      My girl friends & I had a fantastic morning with Jess on the STUNNING Pambula River. The water is absolutely beautiful, I couldn't resist a quick jump off my kayak mid tour ! Jess allowed us to pick our own pace & was really knowledgeable about the nature in the area. We stopped on a secluded beach for morning tea & all had a swim. It was such a beautiful way to spend quality time with the girls. Thanks Jess!

      Pambula River Kayak Tour
      We had a lovely experience kayaking on the beautiful turquoise Pambula river. We were picked up from our motel in Merimbula and before too long we were out on the river. The river was crystal clear and just like the photos we had seen prior to the tour. The kayaks were great and the guide David was friendly and knowledgeable and pointed out lots of bird life, seeing sea eagles was an absolute highlight.

      Amazing for the whole family
      We had a private kayak and oyster tour for a family group of 13 including 5 young kids (aged 2-8) and 2 older adults aged over 70 who can’t swim and had never kayaked. We were a little bit nervous prior but we needn’t have been. Our 2 fantastic guides Jess and Dave, made sure everyone was comfortable and provided heaps of assistance to get everyone going. The wet bags provided for our phones and other gear were very much appreciated. We then kayaked down the beautiful Pambula river with amazing scenery and lots of interesting info from our guides. We were a bit tired by morning tea time but greatly enjoyed the coffee and cakes at morning tea. The adults then followed on with the oyster shucking experience, which was informative, fun and with heaps of oysters for all!! Overall a very enjoyable experience for our entire group. Thanks for all the photos Jess and Dave!

      Great kayaking day while docked in Eden on our cruise
      We had a great time kayaking on the Pambula River! We stopped at the port in Eden on our cruise and found this tour through a quick google search. Communication through the booking process was excellent and very prompt. Our guide for the day was fantastic. He provided transportation to/from the port and took an extra stop to show us a few additional sites since we had some extra time. On the kayaking trip, he pointed out a bunch of wildlife along the way and educated us about the oyster farming in the area, as we paddled through it. The kayaking was nice and peaceful — not too hard at all. The gear was great and they had dry bags for use if needed. The picnic/swimming spot was excellent and we had a nice snack before heading back. All in all, we really enjoyed our day and strongly recommend this tour and company to others looking for a nice experience in the area!

      Pambula river
      The location is amazing- the crystal clear water looked just like the pictures. We saw stingrays, shoals of fish, sea eagle nests, soldier crabs, medusa jellyfish, baby squid, large bream and more. And that was before the oysters which were delicious and we finally got instructions on how to open an oyster correctly. Our guide was excellent. It is quite a decently kayak - with a headwind coming back you need to be of moderate fitness. Highly recommended

      Amazing Tour of Eden for Cruise Ship Guests!
      Our group of 6 was picked up at the port in Eden from our cruise ship on time with our fabulous tour guide Grant and our 4 hour tour did not disappoint! We saw so much of Eden, and had a fabulous picnic lunch. The owner, Jess, was extremely responsive when going through the booking and confirmation process, and will cater to your groups needs. Our group wanted to pack in as much as possible and we were back on the ship in time. I can't recommend this tour enough!

    Jess from Navigate Expeditions led us on an amazing tour. She was incredibly knowledgeable of the local area's history, animal inhabitants and oyster harvesting. Kayaking was on the lovely Pembula river which was easy to do within the allotted time but also with plenty of time to just cruise along and enjoy nature. The oysters in the middle were absolutely delicious and we would go back!

    Everything went perfectly well, the weather, the company, the kayaks, the river, the superlative oysters. It was just a wonderful experience. Jess and Glen were so knowledgable and fun and Mel at Broadwater oysters was too.
