Set out from the wharf at Tench Reserve, Penrith and head upriver deep into the Nepean Gorge. The most popular tour is half-day (approximately 4.5 hours) at any time that suits you.
The custom-built boat allows passage to places where few people, let alone fishing people, get to go.
Truly the catching of fish is a bonus as you are in an amazing natural wonderland, with sheer sandstone gorge walls, huge gums, clear clean water, sea eagles flying overhead, and fish leaping from the water – a true hidden treasure.
All the equipment you will need is supplied. All you need to bring is a hat and jacket, and your fishing licence for the day is included. Water, drinks and snacks are available on board.
