Kayaking, Newcastle to Port Macquarie
Eco-friendly activity
Barrington Outdoor Adventure Centre at Gloucester offers an exciting one-day tour down the Barrington River. Guides can tailor the trip for beginners or family groups, choosing a quieter part of the river where there are likely sightings of platypus, wallabies and water dragons on a leisurely paddle, or for the more intrepid, tours can be taken to a higher adrenaline level on wilder rapids. The centre also rents kayaks and canoes and does a drop-off service.
Lazy Paddles at Tea Gardens conducts twohour kayaking tours along the Myall River, with chances to see dolphins, birds and marine life. The company also hires out kayaks and offers a drop-off service.
Blue Water Sea Kayaking in Nelson Bay also has kayaking tours, including a champagne sunset tour, a dolphin-watching kayak trip and an overnight camping excursion.
