One of the most common questions we hear at Valley Outdoors is simple: “What happens if it rains?” It’s a fair question. Many people picture their canoe trip being washed out by grey skies and raindrops. But the reality is often quite different.

Beehive Point is one of the most beautiful gateways into the Shoalhaven River and the perfect starting place for a full-day or multi-day canoe expedition in Kangaroo Valley.
Autumn has a gentler feel to it. The air cools slightly, the light softens and everything seems to slow down just enough to breathe properly again. For families thinking about canoeing with kids, this season offers some of the most comfortable and relaxed conditions of the year. Here’s what makes Autumn such a lovely time to get on the water together.
It’s one of the most common questions we’re asked — “Do I need to be able to swim to go canoeing?” The short answer? No.
We regularly welcome non-swimmers on our canoe hire and guided tours in Kangaroo Valley, and we’ve designed the experience to be safe, supportive and inclusive for everyone.
We love canoeing. And we especially love just messing about in boats. These are some of our favourite games to play when we’re out on the water. We hope you like them too.
The great thing about a half day canoeing adventure is how easy it is to just go. Unlike a full day of paddling which requires a bit more planning to make sure you have the food you’ll need for a longer adventure and are ready for whatever the weather may throw at you later in the day, a half day splash doesn’t need much thought beyond looking out the window and seeing what the sky above has in store for you.
Kangaroo Valley is more than just a destination - it’s an invitation to slow down, reconnect, and share timeless moments with the ones you love. Discover why this special place is a favourite for families, small groups, and those craving time in nature together.
