Morning light cuts across the Margaret River as guides meet the group at the rivermouth car park beside Prevelly Beach. Canoes sit ready; paddles glint. The river flows calmly here—clear, sheltered, and framed by coastal forest—inviting a steady stroke upstream where the current teases and the trees lean in to listen.

Morning light cuts across the Margaret River as guides meet the group at the rivermouth car park beside Prevelly Beach. Canoes sit ready; paddles glint. The river flows calmly here—clear, sheltered, and framed by coastal forest—inviting a steady stroke upstream where the current teases and the trees lean in to listen.
This stretch belongs to the Noongar people and later drew early European settlers such as the Bussell family. Geologically, the channel carves through riverine sands and limestone outcrops shaped by millennia of coastal processes; the sheltered backwaters have avoided heavy boat traffic, keeping water quality high and habitats intact.
Culturally the trip pairs paddling with a hands-on tasting of Western Australian wild foods: native meats, nut pestos, rosella chutney and a rotating selection of roughly 20 native tastes served as a picnic-style lunch by the water. Wildlife is common—kangaroos browse the banks and black swans drift in the reed beds—so expect quiet observation and photo pauses.
Practically: plan for a four-hour outing beginning at 09:30. Guides provide lifejackets and multi-person canoes; basic paddling instruction is given before launch. Bring reef-safe sunscreen, a refillable water bottle, swimwear and footwear that can get wet, and a small dry bag for electronics. The operator runs in most weather but will confirm on the morning if conditions threaten safety. The route is low-gradient and family-friendly, but steady paddling and balance are required on the upstream sections. Expect easy wildlife encounters, sheltered swimming spots, and a slow-moving river that rewards relaxed exploration.
Yes—lifejackets, paddles and canoes (2–4 person) are provided, plus a safety briefing before launch.
The tour is family-friendly; infants must sit on an adult’s lap though specialized infant seats are available—note this when booking.
Vegetarian and vegan options are offered; advise any allergies or special diets at booking so the guides can accommodate you.
All sales are final, but the operator may cancel for unsafe conditions and will contact you the morning of the tour if adjustments are needed.
