River Activities
In a valley protected by headlands on all sides the Hawkesbury waterways are sheltered from prevailing winds, ideal for wakeboarding, fishing and days out on the water. This easily accessible region has been a secret pocket of Sydney's water sports for just that reason. Let us help create your ultimate weekend on the river.
