Together with the adventurous owners of a local Tassie company, discover platypus in their natural habitat. Your guides are very passionate about showing you the most beautiful and impressive places of Tasmania. Their aim is to help reconnect people with nature and take them on an informative and unforgettable adventure.
The local company strives to leave "tourism" behind and embrace the idea of sharing. They try to show all the wonders of the place they call home, because they believe that the most memorable travel experiences are made by an authentic connection between place, nature and people.
Together with an experienced guide, you will make a canoe trip for a duration of three hours. Paddle through the idyllic landscape of the Derwent Valley across the Upper Derwent River. Along the way, spot platypus in their natural habitat.
Platypus are fascinating and have been puzzling scientists for years. Kayaking is a fantastic way to get a closer encounter with these creatures. Afterwards, you'll be served a ‘Tassie’ platter made by a local chef from fresh Derwent Valley produce. A perfect way to end an award-winning kayak experience.
