Hire Canoes, Kayaks, Body Boards, Stand Up Paddle Boards - something for everyone !
Enjoy this pristine section of the Margaret River from the Rivermouth upstream. There are no motor boats here and no vehicle access to this section of the river, so you can paddle along in absolute peace for up to 3km. 

The mouth of the river opens for a short period each year and freshens the river up, but for most of the year it is more like a beautiful long lake with no strong river currents.

If you are looking for a more relaxed activity,  kayak, canoe and stand up paddle hire is available so you can paddle at your own pace up the lovely Margaret River.  A great activity for all ages. You will love it!

Canoes: Canadian style canoes are used where the users sit on seats inside the craft. These are popular with families and other tourists as you can stay dry in them. All 4 canoes are licensed to sit a maximum of 3 people. A single blade canoe paddle is provided for each user.
 
Kayaks: These are a sit-on-top self-draining craft. They are ideal for windy conditions and beginners as they are easy to paddle and particularly stable. The JPSA fleet contains 6 single and 10 double seat kayaks. A double blade kayak paddle is provided for each user. 

 Stand Up Paddleboards: Two 11’6” fibreglass SUPs are available for hire. They are designed for use on flat water rather than ocean going. Two 11’ inflatable SUPs are also available for beginners to take advantage of their extra stability and ease of use. 

 Body boards: these are sturdy foam boards that are fun to use in the whitewash. 

 Safety Equipment: PDF Type 2 Life jackets of all sizes are provided free of charge.

Amazing day out! I took my boys (11 and 8) kayaking on Easter Saturday and we all had a blast. The beach, river and forests are absolutely beautiful and we enjoyed every minute of our kayaking adventure. My eldest wants to be a Marine Biologist, so he loved seeing all the Black Brim in the mangroves. Both Sarah and Josh are absolutely lovely people, it was great to chat to them. The equipment was in great condition, and I loved the fact that Sarah also supplies drybags to keep your phone and keys safe while on the water. We will definitely be back!

Sarah and her daughter were super friendly and helpful in getting me out on the river. I had a lovely afternoon exploring the river, paddling up as far as you can go. Seeing different birds and sights along the way. I recommend everyone who visits should do this. I’ll definitely be back.

Sarah is a true legend! She provided excellent customer service, was kind, and genuinely interested in sharing information about the river and its history. The kayaks and equipment were top-notch. Thanks to Sarah and the river for a fantastic experience.

My friend and I had a great couple of hours kayaking up the Margaret River from the mouth. Josh and Sarah were very helpful from the outset - advising us on the best option for our abilities, and also giving us local knowledge to help us enjoy the experience. Great price too, would highly recommend.
