Aboriginal Kayak Tour at Pambula River by Navigate Expeditions

Located along the tranquil Pambula River, just off 52 Landing Rd in Broadwater, New South Wales, Navigate Expeditions offers an immersive Aboriginal Culture Kayak Tour that blends outdoor adventure with rich Indigenous heritage. This 4-hour journey invites paddlers to glide on calm waters framed by the temperate coastal landscape, making it an accessible and engaging outing for paddlers of nearly all skill levels.

The tour follows a gentle route to Severs Beach, a site of cultural significance with roots reaching back thousands of years. Here, Indigenous storytellers from Twofold Aboriginal Corporation share oral histories and knowledge about the local Yuin people and the river’s role in sustaining generations before us. The riverbanks along this stretch are lined with native eucalypts and tea trees, while birdlife including kingfishers and water dragons add life to the peaceful paddling experience.

What sets this tour apart is the thoughtful blend of history, storytelling, and nature appreciation. As you rest at Severs Beach, a carefully prepared morning tea introduces local flavors like lemon myrtle and freshly brewed coffee, reinforcing the connection between Indigenous culture and this coastal environment. The flat, sheltered waters of the Pambula River ensure the kayaking remains easy-going, allowing participants to focus on the stories and natural surroundings rather than technical challenges.

Navigate Expeditions is deeply rooted in the South Coast outdoor scene, offering tours that celebrate the landscape’s authentic stories. This Aboriginal Culture Kayak Tour is a standout adventure—perfect for families, friends, or solo travelers seeking a meaningful encounter with local culture interwoven with a relaxed paddling experience just a short drive from vibrant regional hubs.
