Grab a paddle and discover Margaret River’s waterways – they’re some of Western Australia’s best-kept secrets. The region’s sheltered rivers and bays create perfect conditions for both beginners and experienced paddlers. Morning tours along the Margaret River offer the best wildlife spotting, while afternoon kayak trips pair perfectly with winery visits. I love the half-day guided river tours for their expert naturalist guides and chances to spot kangaroos and rare birds along the peaceful riverbanks. The sunrise SUP tours in protected bays are another favorite, offering crystal-clear waters and often empty beaches. Let’s explore the top water adventures waiting for you in Margaret River.
