Available Tours
Munda Biddi Mountain Bike Explorer
Spend the day riding a section of the world-renowned Munda Biddi Trail, translating to ‘path through the forest’ in the Indigenous Noongar language. After getting fitted out with a mountain bike and helmet, Dwellingup Adventures transports your group and bikes to the beginning of the journey. Spend the rest of the day riding through the majestic Jarrah forest along single track and fire trails, with a bridge leading you across the mighty Murray River, giving you impressive views of Baden Powell Water Spout. The journey finishes at Dwellingup Townsite, where there is plenty more to explore! Choose from 17 kilometres (Nanga Mill to Town) or 35 kilometres (Dawn Creek road to Town via Bidjar Ngoulin Hut).
Paddle 'n' Picnic
Explore the tranquillity and beauty of the Murray River on a self-guided Paddle ‘n’ Picnic tour. Meander down the Murray River at your own pace, which features long pools, fast-moving channels and a couple of small rapids along its forest-lined riverbanks. There is no need to worry about any logistics as Dwellingup Adventures does all the organizing for you. Meet at the Tours Desk, located at the award-winning Dwellingup Trails and Visitors Centre with the lovely Waypoints Café. From here you will get fitted out with your safety equipment and head to the start of the canoe experience at Island Pool, following the guide in your vehicle. Leave your vehicle at the finish point and let Dwellingup Adventures transport you to the start, stopping along the way to point out river features. Take your time paddling downstream stopping along the way for a picnic, flora and fauna spotting and a relaxing swim (depending on season) before paddling to the finish point at Dwaarlindjirraap (Baden Powell) where you rendezvous with Dwellingup Adventures and your car.
Pack 'n' Paddle
This overnight tour is popular for those who love to get immersed in nature! Spend Day one hiking 13 kilometres from Dwellingup to Swamp Oak Hut, breathing in the fresh forest air. Spend the evening toasting marshmallows over a campfire (season dependent), snuggled up in a sleeping bag under the incredible stars of the dark sky. A short walk on Day two takes you to the Island Pool on the Murray River, where Dwellingup Adventures meets you to swap over your hiking gear with the supplied paddling equipment. Spend the next few hours meandering downstream through long pools, fast-moving channels, and a couple of small rapids along the forest-lined riverbanks. Dwellingup Adventures rendezvous with you at Dwaarlindjirraap and transfer you to the town where your car is waiting.
Pedal 'n' Platter
Pedal your way along some of Australia’s best mountain bike trails including the world-renowned Munda Biddi Trail on this guided, beginner, mountain bike ride. Caters for those less confident on a bike to those who are just looking for an adventurous day out. Be prepared to get your heart rate up a little as you ride through local Jarrah and Marri forest, watching out for emus, kangaroos and birds, including the endangered Black Cockatoos. After getting fitted out with a mountain bike and helmet, Dwellingup Adventures runs through the basics to get you started, then you are on your way! Enjoy a delicious platter prepared by Waypoints Café at the halfway point, before returning to town along the Munda Biddi Trail. Vehicle support at the halfway point provides an option for a lift back to town if required.
Fast Water Rafting
Experience the thrills of the Murray River on a self-guided Fast Water Rafting Tour. There is no need to worry about any logistics as Dwellingup Adventures does all the organizing for you! Meet at the Tours Desk, located at the award-winning Dwellingup Trails and Visitors Centre with the lovely Waypoints Café. From here you will get fitted out with your safety equipment and head to the start of the rafting experience, following a guide in your own vehicle. Leave your vehicle at the finish point and let Dwellingup Adventures transport you to the start, stopping along the way to point out river features. You spend the next few hours shooting some small rapids, paddling through fast-moving channels and along wide pools at your own pace. The lightness of your inflated raft allows you to easily carry your raft back above some of the rapids where you can shoot them multiple times before paddling to the finish point at Dwaarlindjirraap, where you rendezvous with Dwellingup Adventures and your car.
Trilogy of Trails
A fully guided Western Australian adventure from Perth. Escape the everyday and swap it for forest trails, quiet water and open sky. Trilogy of Trails is a fully guided 3.5-day, 3-night adventure that brings together three of Dwellingup's signature outdoor experiences — hiking, paddling and mountain biking — in one seamless itinerary, just 90 minutes from Perth. This is the only multi-day, multi-activity adventure of its kind in Western Australia. Rather than choosing one activity or piecing together your own trip, you get all three: hiking through native jarrah forest, paddling the calm waters of the Murray River, and riding purpose-built mountain bike trails — all guided by local experts who know this country intimately. Your base for three nights is Noble River Estate, a private property that becomes the heart of the experience once the day's activity is done. Evenings mean shared meals on the deck under string lights, good company, and a standout night at Holyoake — a private garden estate — for a dinner featuring marron fresh from the dam. Mornings start gently with an optional sunrise yoga session before the day's adventure begins.

Fantastic experience with Dwellingup Adventures! In planning to come from the U.S. to ride the Munda Biddi Trail end-to-end over a 16-day period with two Australian friends, I needed to find an e-mountain bike to hire. Fortunately, I found Alicia and her team at Dwellingup Adventures! She worked with me to pre-arrange the hire and delivery of a Specialized Tero 3.0 eMTB and also the panniers, helmet, tools, spare tubes, and an extra battery that I wanted. Alicia's communication with me across continents was always prompt and clear, and bike mechanic Frank went the extra mile in setting up the bike and coordinating with me when I arrived in Perth. They did an outstanding job in providing friendly, high quality service and met my needs completely! I highly recommend them for anyone adventuring in the area!

Perfect place for hiking, cycling, and kayaking. You can get kayak and bicycle 🚲 on very affordable rent to enjoy into forest.

Today we had the luxury of canoeing down the Murray River thanks to Dwellingup Adventures. We were met by a lovely, warm gentleman who helped us with our supplies. The paddle was serene and we were able to pull up half way to enjoy the delectable picnic provided. The whole experience was wonderful from start to finish. We highly recommend to anyone looking for a way to spend the morning in Dwellingup.

Extremely helpful and friendly staff. We had issues that were bike related and the owner closed the store, rode home and got some tools to help. We couldn't have been happier with the level of service. A+++

*** UNREAL *** This place was amazing - last minute booking and they were extremely accommodating The electric bikes were brilliant and really well priced! Then the next day we did the “paddle and picnic”- although the weather was poor we still had a blast on the river Could not recommend Dwellingup Adventures highly enough
