Stretching over 195 kilometers, the Clarence Canoe and Kayak Trail carves its path through the heart of New South Wales, from the wild Nymboi-Binderay National Park down to the quaint riverside town of Copmanhurst. This remarkable waterway system is Australia’s longest mapped whitewater trail, famed for its diverse paddling environments that range from serene slow-moving stretches to adrenaline-pumping rapids. At the core of this adventure is the expert shuttle service and equipment hire offered from Buccarumbi, which transforms an ambitious expedition into a seamless and thoroughly enjoyable journey.
Exodus Adventures, located in Buccarumbi, operates this specialized shuttle service. With over 35 years of accumulated local expertise on the Boyd and Nymboida Rivers, their team ensures paddlers not only get where they want to be but also gain unique insights into each river section's character and challenges. The service accommodates groups of up to nine per vehicle, using 11-seater Troopies and larger buses capable of transporting your boats, gear, and campers efficiently. Whether you start upstream or downstream, your vehicle stays secure at the base while the shuttle positions you precisely for your chosen stretch, saving you valuable time and energy.
