Explore the Yarra by Kayak with your friends!
River Rambles are relaxed, social paddling experiences designed for women and girls aged 16 and over.
These events offer a welcoming opportunity to enjoy time on the water in a safe, supportive, and friendly environment, guided by qualified Ramble Leaders.
No experience necessary. Wear something comfortable that you’re okay with getting a little damp.
This paddle will begin at Westerfolds park and continue to Sweeneys Lane where participants will then hope out of the river and be driven back to Westerfolds park.
If the weather turns chilly, Paddle Victoria has you covered, they will provide quality thermals and a spray jacket to help keep you warm. A bit of splashing, wet feet, and a damp seat are all part of the fun!
These sessions are being delivered in partnership with Manningham Council and Paddle Victoria as part of the Birrarung Riverfest 2025. Celebrate our river at one of 60+ events hosted over three weeks from 6–28 September. Whether you enjoy riverside walks, cleanups, creative workshops or paddling adventures, there's something for everyone at Riverfest. Riverfest is presented by the Yarra Riverkeeper Association and our partners Burndap Birrarung burndap umarkoo collaboration and Melbourne Water. Check out the full program of events here.
