Situated on the Gippsland Lakes in Lakes Entrance and surrounded by rivers, means endless paddling options for our guests on Sit on Top Kayaks & Stand Up Paddleboards!
Self-guided Paddling, 1 – 2hrs:
Departing from Venture Out shop, which is just across the street from the lake, paddle the Cunningham Arm (aka the front lake), which will take you under our iconic Footbridge at one end, and towards the Entrance at the other end. Beginner paddlers that prefer to keep away from other boats will prefer to head towards the Footbridge, but if you’re hoping to spot seals & dolphins, pull your vessel up on the beach just after Flagstaff Jetty and go for a short walk along the boardwalk at the Entrance channel.

Half Day (4 hours): You can paddle from the Cunningham Arm into the North Arm of the lake (aka the back lake) to Wyanga Park Winery for lunch, or venture further upstream as the lake winds into Mississippi Creek. Want lunch? Check out our Paddle & Dine package with the winery.

Outside of Lakes Entrance – Lake Tyers can be paddled from Nowa Nowa to Lake Tyers Beach (24km) as an overnight experience, camping lakeside, or as a very full-day paddle. Our hire kayaks have limited storage space for camping gear so best to pack light or have a support vehicle. The Tambo, Nicholson & Mitchell Rivers all offer serene paddling experiences passing through small townships.
Raymond Island, Paynesville & Eagle Point with the Silt Jetties are another special and scenic area on the Gippsland Lakes, as well as Metung, Nungurner & Rigby Island. If you’re wanting a point to point paddle, we can offer a drop off or shuttle return and if you’re looking for a guided experience, we can custom make a tour to suit you.
Want a guide? Book onto our lessons or tours – often run at 9.30 or 10.30am or sunset
