Inclusive Paddling
About Inclusive Paddling:
Nature Freedom’s Inclusive Paddling activities are outdoor adventures on the water with kayaks, canoes, paddle boards and other watercraft.
All of our equipment is accessible for all levels of ability to ensure everyone can have a go.
In August 2018, we launched this unique program for the first time in the Brisbane region. Five years later, this activity has expanded to become a regular occassion for all levels of ability to experience the beautiful nature of our backyard.
Locations we visit include the pristine Moreton Bay shores and islands, and inland rivers and creeks both north and south of the Brisbane River.
These tours also feature:
- Bird and wildlife watching
- Sensory experiences in water-based environments
- Practicals – learn to paddle and participate in games
