Explore Western Australia's spectacular waterways on a kayak or canoe. Float lazily down tranquil rivers, paddle into secluded coves or hurtle down wild whitewater rapids. 

The Peel Canoe Trail highlighted on this site is the Top Trail for visitors as a map of the trail is available along with canoe hire in Mandurah.  However, there are other areas where you will be able to hire a canoe or join a tour operator and enjoy some time out on the water. 

In Bridgetown, the Blackwood River offers rapids and white water upstream, especially in the winter months, while downstream of Nannup it is broad and gentle surrounded by lush green forest. 

Or head to Walpole, where you can canoe along the Frankland River through national reserves and dense woodlands. Look out for an abundance of native flora and fauna along the banks as you silently glide along.

The Murray River, near Dwellingup, offers an exhilarating white water rafting experience for amateurs and seasoned rafters alike. Self-guided or supported tours are available.

To get up close and personal with the pristine Ningaloo Reef, be sure to indulge in a spot of sea kayaking.

Trips to Monkey Mia take you into the Shark Bay heritage area, while at Seal Island and Penguin Island near Rockingham you can get within a whisker of sea lions, fairy penguins and dolphins.
