Navigate the scenic bends of the Upper Yarra River on a thrilling self-guided river sled adventure. Over two hours, glide down a 3 km stretch, encountering gentle floats and exhilarating rapids. Each participant commands their own purpose-built sled, designed for maneuverability and comfort. You’ll paddle, navigate obstacles, and enjoy the stunning natural surroundings at your own pace. Begin your journey at the Warburton football oval, where a briefing and upstream shuttle await. Perfect for adventurers aged 8 and up, this experience promises a unique blend of fun and physical challenge in a beautiful outdoor setting.
What's Included
Meeting and pickup
Meet us at the Warburton oval near the Warburton Cricket Club, 3455-3457 Warburton Hwy and Bramich Bridge. Look out for our ‘Meeting Point’ sign, and our van and trailer full of sleds and tubes.
What to expect
Your adventure starts at the Warburton oval with a briefing and demo, followed by a shuttle upstream. From there, you’ll have up to 1.5 hours to explore the river at your own pace. Our purpose-built sleds are 2m long, nearly indestructible, designed for shallow rivers, easy to control, sized for adults, and suitable for kids 8+.
This is a truly Australian adventure not to be missed, but remember—the Yarra is a real river, not a theme park. Conditions vary daily, and natural obstacles like rocks, branches, and logs may require paddling or standing to navigate. If you’re not a confident swimmer, consider hiring a river guide.
All participants must be able to swim. Children must be accompanied by a paying adult or river guide. Wear closed-toe shoes or water booties, and PFDs are mandatory for weak swimmers and recommended for children.
