Fancy a paddle? Go explore the mighty Clyde River with a kayak or canoe from Nelligen Kayak Hire. Whether you want to go paddling for one hour or the full day, this activity is sure to be a highlight of your holiday in the Batemans Bay area.
Our canoes and kayaks are easy to use and allow for a unique perspective of river life. Paddlers have reported seeing birds (pelicans, cormorants, kookaburras), sting rays, jellyfish, wallabies, fish and even kangaroos lazing along the river banks.
Every hire has life jackets included. We also provide dry bags to keep your phone, wallet, camera or clothing dry. No experience is necessary as we give full instructions on how to safely paddle.

Where the heck is Nelligen?

Our meeting point for kayak hire is the Nelligen boat ramp. Plenty of parking available. It is in front of the River Cafe, ideal for an ice cream or coffee post-paddle. We accept both cash and card payment.
About Nelligen and the Clyde River
We hire out the kayaks right on the banks of the Clyde River at the Nelligen boat ramp. It is the perfect place to start your kayaking or canoeing adventure. Nelligen is just 8kms from Batemans Bay on the Kings Highway (on the way to Canberra).
Nelligen has long been regarded as an excellent location for river exploring. Whether you just want to paddle past the houses lining the river or perhaps explore the mangroves, there is plenty to keep you interested. Houseboats cruise past. Pelicans swoop low over the water, just enjoying themselves. Wave to the passengers on the River Ferry. Perhaps you want to try your luck at fishing.
But the true pleasure is stepping back in time and enjoying the peace and solitude of the river. Just imagine, drifting quietly along with gentle strokes of your paddle, or hitchhiking the tide. Priceless.

Happy paddlers!
Oh my god so much fun! I’ve never been kayaking before and it was tricky learning with Emma but we eventually got the hang of it. Definitely recommend it.
Haidee WI had a very enjoyable couple of hours in the canoe. It was a nice mix of exercise and seeing the wildlife of Nelligen. My highlight was spotting the pelicans!
Alan HAfter a few Schmacko’s I really found myself enjoying being out on the Clyde river. I had a few good sniffs at the fish and was very intrigued by the jellyfish floating past. Woof.
