Everything is completely set up prior to your arrival at the Wyuna campsite which is just over 2-hours due north from Melbourne and 25- km east of Echuca on the Murray Valley Highway.  All you need to bring is the bedding and food for the camp.

The next morning you will be driven the appropriate distance upstream and you can spend as much time as you like slowly paddling back to the campsite.

The River
The Goulburn is the longest river in Victoria, and one of the most beautiful. Water from the Goulburn irrigates half-a-million hectares (the food bowl). It is a deep and ancient river, which slowly meanders through the Australian bush and provides a habitat for many species of flora and fauna.

Canoe safaris can vary from hours to days and even weeks; we offer a choice of options match your appetite for adventure!
