Kayaking
In addition to being Australia's premier horse riding centre we also operate one of the Australia's leading kayaking companies via our sister company, Ocean Planet Kayak Tours. Ocean Planet Kayak Tours has been in operation for 12 years and provides a variety of exhilarating trips from our 3000 acre home base at Glenworth Valley, as well as numerous locations on the stunning Central Coast and Sydney Harbour. Glenworth Valley is located 20 minutes from Gosford and 1 hour from the Sydney or Newcastle CBDs.
Trips departing Glenworth Valley offer paddlers the opportunity to explore the unspoilt wilderness of Popran Creek as it meanders its way through Glenworth Valley. As we glide down Popran Creek you can choose to either explore the peaceful upper reaches of Mangrove Creek or head down stream onto the magnificent Hawkesbury River system.
We specialise in everything from relaxing eco experiences with family and friends through to group outings for social organisations and corporate team building activities. We also provide outdoor education programs for school and community groups. The minimum age for participants is 7 years.
All kayaking tours and kayak hire include kayak, personal flotation devices (PFD) and paddle/s.
