Detailed
information
Fun and relaxation for all ages in the pedal
boats, aqua bikes and canoes available for hire on
the Huon River.
No better way to enjoy the local area than
'simply messing about in boats' in a large but
protected area of the river while under the
watchful eye of staff .
Gently journey up to the Huon River Bridge or
back down river to where the river turns south on
its final journey to the D'Entrecasteaux
Channel.
Children under 16 need to be supervised by an
adult but not necessarily in the hire craft.
