Yarra River White Water Rafting & Caving Day Tour
Highlights & inclusions
What you can expect
Set off for an action-packed full-day adventure just outside Melbourne, combining white-water rafting and underground caving. Meet your friendly guides and gear up before heading out onto the Yarra River. You'll jump into the rapids for around two hours and 30 minutes, filled with teamwork and laughter. Take on iconic grade two sections like Bob’s Rock and Pinball Rapid as you move through native bushland and deep river gorges.
At the finish point, a shuttle will take you back to your vehicle, where you’ll then make a short drive to the caving site for the second half of your adventure. Equipped with helmets and headlights, you’ll follow your guide deep into a network of granite boulder caves, crawling and squeezing through narrow passageways. You'll find shallow underground streams, and discover a hidden ecosystem of glow worms, cave crickets and unique fungi. This experience blends nature, challenge and adrenaline into one epic outdoor day.
