Kayaking Lower Tuross River and Borang Lake
4.9
117 reviewsAbout
This pleasant flatwater paddle takes you southwest across Tuross Lake and around the south side of Horse Island. Take a map and a compass with you to avoid too much-unplanned exploration.
There is easy access off Trafalgar Road / Nelson Parade at Lavender Bay, just west of the boat ramp. Ample free parking is available alongside the shallow sandy edge. Toilets and waterside cafes nearby.
After paddling under a small bridge turn left at the T junction to work your way around the southern tip of Cambanthin Island arriving at the Tuross River. Turn left at this T junction to paddle 300 metres up the Tuross River to the entrance to Borang lake on your left. Paddle across the Lake and return via the same route. The entrance to Borang Lake is shallow so this paddle is best undertaken on the high tide. If you like to throw a line in while you paddle, the Tuross River (specifically the lower estuary and Tuross Lake) is a renowned recreational fishing haven completely closed to commercial netting. It is a premier spot to target dusky flathead, yellowfin bream, and sand whiting.

I have been kayaking with Josh for almost 20 years and today I took a complete novice to the kayak hire (and cafe) , Parisa had never been kayaking before! Kate, Joshs right hand woman in all aspects of life gently settled us into a super safe double kayak, fitted our life jackets and off we went. Super safe for everyone- highly recommended. After kayaking treat yourself to a great coffee and a delicious treat watch the stingrays and marvel at this wonderful little piece of heaven! Thanks to Kate and Josh

Took my family for early Xmas gift. Group of 11 ranging from 4 to 65 with no real skill. We had a ball. Even had a small pod of dolphins come in close for a visit. Our guide Dave was fantastic and very knowledgeable of the area. Highly recommend this tour.

Had a wonderful time kayaking with the guided half day tour. While I’ve kayaked before, having Mike’s gentle and wise guidance on a day with complicated conditions meant we were in good hands. Mike showed us the seal colony, rock formations around Guerilla Bay and had extensive knowledge of wildlife, tides and winds and the local area, and even brewed a lovely cuppa while we snorkeled and delighted in a wobbegong shark sighting. Thanks team keep up the great work!

We had an amazing experience with this kayaking hire company! My family and I spent a beautiful morning on the water, hiring 3 single kayaks for an hour. We were thrilled to find out they were dog-friendly, so we brought our furry friend along for the adventure, which made it even more special. The whole experience was smooth and enjoyable, from the easy rental process to the stunning surroundings. We had a fantastic time exploring the sandbanks and weaving through the mangroves. It was such a peaceful and memorable way to enjoy our holiday. Highly recommend this company for anyone looking for a fun, family-friendly, and even pet-friendly activity. We’ll definitely be back!
