      Kings Park Floral Treasues
      A fabulous guided cycle ride in King's Park to see the wildflowers. A real highlight of our trip. Matt was a great host - informative, friendly and happy to extend the tour when our questions and interests required him to do so. Thanks Matt!

      Great tour of KIngs Park
      Even as a local it was a great morning visiting areas of Kings Park we haven't been in before. Well paced ride with a knowledgable and informative guide. The flowers were lovely despite the rain. Thanks Matt for a lovely morning.

      Beautiful Kayaking Morning
      We had a great time. Our guide was extremely friendly and knowledgable about the area. The kit was great, great starting location. The river was so clear that we saw stacks of fish and jelly fish which are not stinging, we even held one ! Lovely couple of hours on the river.

      Fantastic, interesting morning out on the river!
      Fantastic tour! Faultlessly organised, every aspect very professional. Matt is an extremely knowledgeable guide and presents information in an interesting and accessible way. He is also very friendly and personable. Winery was very busy but the tasting was well run and again, superbly organised. Highly recommend this tour.

      Great way to experience Perths natural Beauty on a hot summer evening.
      This was my first time kayaking an I loved it everyone was helpful and it was so much fun. Matt was very interesting and has a wonderful gift of making history relevant to our evening on a very hot day.

      Always brilliant.
      This is the 3rd Mandoon Winery and Kayak Tour I've been on - each time with different groups of friends who were jealous of missing out on our last trip - and the 5th kayaking trip I've been on with Matt and GoGo Active Tours. Matt always selects a great part of the river to explore and does so much research about the local flora and faun it's great. Doesn't matter how many trips I've been on, I'm always learning about the indigenous and the settlers' history of each region. Not only is it a fun day of exercise in the great outdoors, it's incredibly informative! I keep coming back for more. Thanks Matt. Naomi B

      Kayaking Fun.
      We had an excellent morning kayaking with Matt, who was a great guide and instructor for us novices! We got the right balance of interesting information and history of the area along side the fun of kayaking and seeing the swan river from a different perspective. The dolphins were an added bonus!! Thank you Matt! (Just about to book the wine kayaking trip!

      Serenity in the Morning!
      Matt & his staff were excellent to deal with during this whole experience. So friendly and easy to relate to. I was 37 weeks pregnant and felt comfortable paddling through this tour. The kayaks were very steady and comfortable. There was a little treat to end the tour as well, which was a surprise! Highly recommend this tour for a relaxing yet active experience to learn a bit about Perth’s cliffs/caves.

      Matt was so helpful and friendly - and so incredibly knowledgeable on the area. I particularly enjoyed hearing the Nyoongar history of the area. Highly recommended... we will be doing the Canning Wetlands tour when we are back in Perth! :)

      A relaxing and informative exploration of part of the Swan River
      A great way to explore the Blackwell Reach cliffs from the water. Great also to get some history of the river. As a local I still learnt useful information. I can highly recommend this tour as a great way to explore the river.

    This was a great experience, right at the edge of the city center, were kayaking through the wetlands of the Canning River. We can highly recommend this tour. You don't need to be a professional kayaker to enjoy this trip.Kevin was a great guide, very knowledgeable about the nature and history of the area. We are already planning for out next trip, in September, the famous Matilda Bay and Kings Park loop by bike. Thanks for giving us this experience. Ute and Mieke

    A lovely morning, highlighting untouched wetlands In pristine conditions. Our guides were a perfect blend of friendly, helpful and fun. We were given some settler history and native botanical information as we paddled down the river to a cafe. After lunch and a refreshing drink we returned. Pace was set to the skill level of those attending. Would definitely recommend and return.

    What a magical morning exploring this hidden treasure of Perth.
    Out on the water with just the sounds of the birds, I came home relaxed and refreshed.
    Matt's (guide) seemingly endless knowledge and historical anecdotes of our beautiful state are told in a way that consistently add to the awe and wonder of the tour.
    We saw many, many native water birds, and again, Matt was able to answer any questions we may have had.
    I highly recommend this tour for locals and visitors alike.

    Having been wanting to try out kayaking for a long time, I bought this tour as a pressie for myself for my birthday this year. It was my first GoGo Activ Tour and won’t be my last. Absolutely loved it, the conditions were superb, and Matt was the best host and tour guide ever. Safety is paramount for Matt, so for a first time paddler, I felt very comfortable and at ease. The paddle itself was great, but Matt packs in a huge amount of local history as well, along with pointing out the local flora and fauna of interest. I learnt so much. Had a blast and I’ll be back!

    We had the best time. Matt was very knowledgeable and gave us a good history of the river and surrounds as well as an overview of the flora and fauna. We had all levels of paddlers in our group and everybody was included. We kept a pace that was easy to all and a few rafting ups let us catch our breath if we needed to whilst learning interesting snippets of history. We thoroughly recommend it for paddlers of all levels. A good tour for beginners.

    The Canning River Wetlands tour was a beautifully peaceful experience. I loved getting away from the city for a peek at how the first peoples may have veiwed the river. Mat is a fountain of knowledge about so many aspects of the history, flora, and fauna of the area.
    All you need is sunscreen, a hat, shoes you don't mind getting wet, and a small pack for valuables and they provide the rest. I thouroughly enjoyed the tour and definitely recommend it.

    Wow, what a wonderful day on this tour with Matt.
    Your guidance in the method of using the kayak was so helpful. Gliding smoothly through the wetlands was so peaceful and calming, with amazing birdlife. Matt’s knowledge of this area was incredible, drawing our attention to some rare sights of nature
    and the sounds if silence in paradise.
    I was completely unaware of this beautiful location right on our doorstep.
    I definitely recommend this tour for both locals and visitors. Thank you Matt.

    Despite living a two minute drive to the river for years, I had not been on a vessel in the Canning River.

    My husband, friends and I went on the kayaking tour on the Canning River over the weekend. Matt was a friendly, knowledgeable tour guide. He provides kayaks, safety jackets, and waterproof bags for your belongings. We kayaked along a part of the river that is not easily accessible by foot or motorboat, so it was really special with lots of unique birds and wildlife. There was a rest break at the Canning River Cafe as a mid-point, which was lovely. The activity is suitable for people of all fitness levels. I have never kayaked before, and I found it to be an enjoyable activity. It was great to explore our backyard!

    Just on the outskirts of Perth, this is a step back in time to an area barely touched since the arrival of Brits in the 19th century. The kayaks allow access to a wildlife area virtually inaccessible by any other means, allowing observation of a wide variety of birds in their natural environment. Matt offers an informative commentry that also adds to the enjoyment of the trip. Highly recommended.
