Hire, Instruction & Tours
Paddle and Portage canoes is all about changing the culture of canoeing in Australia. But we don’t just do this through canoe and canoe accessory sales: we also happen to be a team of passionate and professional canoe guides and instructors.
Our sister company Valley Outdoors is where we get to share our skills and knowledge and create opportunities for people to spend time in nature together, and connect to what is important.
Valley Outdoors is based in the Kangaroo Valley, NSW and they offer canoe tours, hire and instruction at a range of locations across the Southern Highlands, the South Coast and further afield.

Tours
Valley Outdoor provides canoeing tours from a few hours to a few days. Head out with an experienced and passionate guide on flat water, white water, or perhaps check out one of our special group experiences that include other options like hiking or abseiling. A guided tour is a great way to try canoeing for the first time, or perhaps to simply let someone else do all the planning so you can just get on with some happy paddling.
