In early Spring and late Autumn, we challenge ourselves with a range of grade one, two and three white water rapids through the gorge at Bright - starting our trip by meeting near the Ovens River footbridge, where we allocate rafts, rig with life jackets and helmets etc, and car shuttle your vehicles to the pull-out point.
We then kayak down river learning how to negotiate the rapids as we go, finally finishing our trip at Ashwood Avenue. A great adventure suitable for those looking for an achievable challenge. Suitable for 13 years plus.
Two leaders, all safety equipment (helmet, lifejacket, etc.), kayaks and paddles.

a year agoGreat family experience! Booked in a group of 9 at Beechworth. Only one of us had experience, three of us are scared of heights and age ranged from 7-45. The communication prior was excellent, and the guide on the day was brilliant. He catered for all our abilities. Special mention for his gift in coaching all the children, especially our seven-year-old who was petrified, he assisted down the 8 metre, giving him confidence to try the 20m. Best day. Booking in again!

a month agoHad a wonderful weekend with Adventure Guides Australia. We went absailing on Mount Buffalo and white water rafting at Myrtleford. Pauley was an amazing guide and full of great recommendations for other things to see and do on the weekend. Very patient and a wonderful experience for our family.

3 years agoExcellent experience for me and my 10yo son. Mercedes was our guide in abseling in Beechworth, near Gorge Rd, she is positive, experienced guide, encouraging us to give it a go. Thank you, we look forward to more adventures with you in the future

2 years agoI went on a recent adventure with my family on Mount buffalo, we did the caving on the Underground River. Amazing. I felt safe, and looked after the entire time as I was a little nervous about caving. My family loved it, and seeing the glow worms was awesome. I would HIGHLY recommend going on an adventure with these guys. It was so much fun.

3 years agoFantastic morning on a kayaking tour down the river in Myrtleford. Mostly calm and relaxing with a couple of small rapids bit of a thrill at the finish. Would highly recommend David and Hayden who were really experienced, made us feel safe whilst also telling a few jokes along the way!
