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.

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 literally the most beautiful amazing human being I’ve come across! So helpful and warm/welcoming! Bonus having her puppy to have a cuddle with! Best experience. My partner and I literally went back home n purchased our own kayak because of how amazing our experience was! Would not go to anyone else! She gave us full freedom to explore as we pleased with no pressure. Will definitely be back

We spent a fabulous afternoon cruising down Margaret River. Sarah was awesome to deal with and set us up well for the afternoon’s adventure. What a beautiful spot in this remarkable area.

What a great way to spend some quality time in the beautiful nature of Margaret River! We hired two kayaks from Sarah this weekend and had a great time on the water! Sarah is super nice, and it was easy to organise our little kayak time with her! She gave us great tips as well for our paddle. We will definitely come back! Thank you Sarah, Franzi and Nelson. :)
