Kayak & SUP Adventures with Venture Out Australia in Metung

The quiet waterways of Metung in Victoria beckon paddlers looking for serene yet wildlife-rich outings. Venture Out Australia offers a compelling 4-hour kayak or Stand-Up Paddleboard (SUP) hire that lets adventurers navigate Chinamans and Boxes Creeks. Departing opposite Edgewater Terraces, this experience invites you to glide beneath towering gum trees and alongside reeds, immersed in a landscape where water and bush converge seamlessly.

This stretch of Gippsland Lakes is prized for its calm waters and the gentle currents that welcome paddlers of all skill levels. Along the route, local birdlife is abundant: swans and pelicans often drift near the surface, while the occasional flash of a rainbow lorikeet brightens the sky. With luck, you might spot endemic seals basking on logs or dolphins weaving through the estuary’s channels.

The adventure can be tailored—opt for a quick 2-hour paddle with a coffee stop at the Village Green, Metung’s relaxed café hub, or take a longer journey toward Lake King Jetty, where the lake opens wider and the panoramic views broaden. Maps and personal flotation devices come standard, so you can focus fully on the rhythm of your paddle and the natural wonders around you.
