About This Adventure
Discover the beauty of Lakes Entrance with our Pedal & Paddle Lake Views Adventure! Enjoy a scenic one-hour bike ride followed by an exhilarating hour of kayaking. Capture memorable moments along the way as you explore the stunning waterfront. Perfect for families, this unique experience combines fun, fitness, and breathtaking views!
Experience Lakes Entrance by both Bike & Kayak with our Pedal & Paddle Lake Views Adventure!
This self-guided experience takes you on a circuit around the Lakes, all without leaving town - with a mission on the side (should you choose to accept it!) to capture some photos - selfies or otherwise - of your experience.
We’ve packaged together a 1hr scenic waterfront bike ride, followed by a 1hr Kayak hire to make for a fun and active lake experience! Follow our circuit to see some of the highlights of the lake. Depart & return to Venture Out Shop each time and be briefed on each activity!
Daily departures are 10:30am & 1:30pm. When you can't choose which activity to do, do both in one!
This experience is suitable for most ages, but children under 12 years should share a kayak with an adult. Let us know in the booking comments if you prefer a double kayak rather than singles.
For the kayaking section: be prepared to get a wet backside & wet feet. We can supply dry bags for phones if needed.
