Guided Experiences, Schools & Group Programs

Kangaroo Valley Safaris now operated by Valley Outdoors

While KVS continues to offer simple self guided canoe hire experiences, larger groups, guided adventures, schools, and customised outdoor programs are now supported through Valley Outdoors.

This allows our team to provide a higher level of planning, customer support, equipment, logistics, and guiding services for groups wanting a more comprehensive outdoor experience in Kangaroo Valley and beyond.

School group abseiling
Journey based outdoor experiences for schools, Duke of Edinburgh groups, and outdoor education programs.
Cultural experience
Nature based group experiences designed to encourage connection, wellbeing, leadership, and shared adventure.
Group canoe tour getting ready to set off
Supported outdoor experiences for families, private groups, and adventurous travellers, including canoeing, hiking, roping activities, and customised itineraries.
Group Programs
Connect to nature in the Gangagruwan/Kangaroo Valley. Wander through a forest of green mosses and vibrant ferns, visit waterfalls, or find yourself far above the canopy, looking out over an expansive wilderness.

Fantastic experience with these guys. Staff are so friendly & knowledgeable. Price for a canoe for four hours was completely reasonable. We had a beautiful relaxing day spotting wombats, snakes & kingfishers. Will be visiting again to do the overnight trip next!

AMAZING! had a family trip and we hired all the gear from valley outdoors. We spent 3 days on the river and they had everything we needed as well as extremely nice and welcoming staff. The winter weather was perfect, so much wild life, perfect blue skies, and the sleeping gear was so warm that there wasn’t a moment when we were cold. If you are thinking about any sort of adventure or even experiencing the valley, make sure you come to valley outdoors 10/10

We had a ball on this trip. The Valley team provided us with the local knowledge, gear and tips that made our 3 night canoe adventure easy and highly enjoyable. Highly recommend.

We had the pleasure of working with Valley Outdoors, an outstanding guided tour business based in Kangaroo Valley. The team offers bespoke experiences — from abseiling to canoe journeys — with a genuine focus on connecting people with nature. The recent acquisition of the iconic Kangaroo Valley Safaris is a real testament to their passion for growing adventure tourism in the region. A wonderful Australian tourism business doing it the right way. 100% recommend!

We have recently visited Kangaroo valley and have done River Cannoying had a very good experience, we are glad that we have chosen Valley Outdoors for Hiring our Cannoying boat and equipment, the owner was so kind and gentle and professionally guided us and well prepared us with all the necessary information for Cannooying in the river, we told them we are not professionals,doing it for very first time.Their equipment including the quality of boats were really good.I also ended up in buying some swim warmers with decent prices,they were of so good quality with rare colours available which you barely can find outside I definitely recommend my friends to this shop.
