Visited Free Spirit tours today with my 3 yr old and partner. We did the paddle from Kimberly to Epping. The staff were friendly and everything went smoothly. The paddle was phenomenal, with calm and glassy water. The fall colours were something special. We saw a plethora of birds(king fisher, grey swans, egrets, cormorants, great blue herons and an eales nest) and muskrats and even a couple beavers. 🦫 Would highly recommend a paddle on the beaver river to anyone visiting Collingwood and the blue mountains area.

We had a great time during this activity, the personnal was friendly. We took the 2 hours package, with kids 11 and 15 and a stop to eat lunch and swim it was a perfect duration of about 3 hours.

We did the two hour paddle and loved it! The river was absolutely beautiful and so peaceful. There was lots of wildlife to look at - birds, turtles and a beaver! Prices were very affordable, we will return next time we are in the area. Remember to keep left on the rapids! Haha
