Wildlife & Eco Kayak Tours

Imagine breathing in the crisp fresh air of the morning, feeling a calm come over you as you push off your kayak into the tranquil, wildlife filled waters of the Perth Swan River.

There is no better way to see the majestic Perth Swan River than by Kayak. Master tour operator Pat Gilies will guide you or your group around the sanctuary of Kuljak Island and Ascot Waters, where you will experience our local wildlife and unique landscape.

They call their kayaking experience 'Water Meditation', as you paddle and glide on the Swan River you will integrate into the flow of the landscape - an ancient country of the Whadjuk Nyoongar people who have been the traditional owners of the south west of Western Australia for at least 45,000 years.

Few locals have discovered the hidden gem - Kuljak Island or 'Black Swan Island' located behind the Ascot Waters development. The wetlands surrounding the island give a glimpse into what the Swan River looked like pre settlement.

She Oaks, Paper Bark trees and Shore Rushes dominate the wetlands with local black swans, pelicans, blue wrens, Willy wag tails, shags, ducks, Australian darter birds and even dolphins pass close by.

If you haven`t kayaked before, that's ok we can provide the basic training prior to taking off on our tour.
