Twists & Turns:
Travel through the twists and turns of the Blackwood River as you work on your paddling skills. It truly feels like the wilderness, without a house to be seen, and there is often wildlife such as eagles, waterbirds and occasionally a kangaroo. There's a chance for a fun SUP Race for anyone who is up to it, and some fun and games along the way.
Tropical Fruit Picnic:
You've earned a chance to rest and reflect on the paddling session as you enjoy a delicious and healthy tropical fruit picnic on the beach at Chapman Pool. Then it’s time to load up the boards on a custom-built trailer.
Enjoy the National Park:
Now that the tour has finished, you may want to consider some other options for activities while you are still in the national park, such as a bbq on the gas bbq’s in the picnic area, or perhaps a bushwalk along the banks of the Chapman Brook. Please note that this is not part of the tour, so bring your own bbq and picnic supplies if you want to.
