Take on the thrilling adventure of rafting down the fast-moving Murray River!

Highlights

  • Feel the thrill of rafting through the rapids of Murray River
  • Enjoy stunning views all around

Feel the thrill as you take on an exhilarating self-guided Fast Water Rafting expedition along the breathtaking Murray River. Your adventure begins at the Tours Desk, conveniently situated between Dwellingup Trails and Visitors Centre, alongside the charming Waypoints Café.

You'll be outfitted with all the necessary safety gear before setting off to begin your rafting experience. You'll follow a guide in your own vehicle, leaving it at the designated finish point. Dwellingup Adventures will then transport you to the starting location, providing a safety briefing and insights about the river along the way.

Over the next few hours, you'll navigate small rapids, paddle through brisk-moving channels, and cruise along long pools at your own preferred pace. The buoyancy of your inflatable raft makes it effortless to carry it back above some of the rapids, allowing you to relive the thrill multiple times before heading to the journey's end at Dwaarlindjirraap. There, you'll meet up with Dwellingup Adventures and retrieve your vehicle, capping off an unforgettable adventure on the Murray River.

    What to wear

    For cool weather, it is important to maintain upper body warmth. Proper fitting wet suits are good although can be restrictive after long periods.Polypropylene thermal wear is very good. Avoid cotton as its thermal qualities are minimal and it stays wet and cold all day, even bare legs dry out quicker. Save your old smelly runners they are ideal for water activities.Bare feet or unsecured footwear is unsuitable.Dwellingup Adventures hire Thermal wear packages if you need.

    River Levels

    The Murray River is reliant on natural rainfall patterns. Dwellingup Adventures will advise you if the water levels are unsuitable.

    Safety

    The section from Yarragil to Dwaarlindjirraap is generally suitable for beginner paddlers. Parents will determine the suitability of their own children, but it is common for an adult and a young child to do the tour. We supply a double paddle for the adult. Two roads run parallel to the river, River Road on river right (looking downstream) and Murray Valley Road, river left (looking downstream). River Road will lead you back to your vehicle should you need to walk out.

    If you are not at Dwaarlindjirraap at the designated pick-up time Dwellingup Adventures staff will travel along River Road to check your location.

    Dwellingup Adventures staff will give you a basic safety brief in case you fall out. Your driver will show rafters features and give a river brief as you are transported upstream to the raft start.
