What to expect
You'll launch from the Pambula River and paddle past reed beds and shallow banks where waterbirds feed. The pace is leisurely—your guide will point out local species and explain how the river sustains both wildlife and the oyster industry. Around the halfway mark, you'll beach on sand, shed your lifejacket, and enjoy tea, coffee, juice, and biscuits while swimming if you wish. The return paddle follows the same route. Expect calm, protected water and plenty of stops for observation and questions.
