Corinna Wilderness Village

The shorter Pieman River Cruise, the Sweetwater Cruise, departs at 3pm, for a return to Corinna at 4pm. The Sweetwater takes a maximum of 8 passengers on a one hour smooth water cruise, viewing some of the glorious features of the Pieman River and having these features explained by one of our knowledgeable skippers. The journey, in a smaller Yamaha craft than the Arcadia II, has the advantage of accessing the Savage River, where the wreck of the S.S. Croydon (a ship sunk in 1919, around the size of the Arcadia II) can be seen at low tide with the right weather conditions, and of mooring at the stair case to Lover’s Falls – one of the signature experiences at Corinna, of which is only accessible by small boat or kayak. The cruise slowly returns, after taking in a long term wedge tailed eagle’s nest on the Pieman River, Lover’s Falls and the S.S. Croydon on the Savage River. At this point some guests choose to walk back to Corinna along the beautiful Savage River walk, which takes approximately 30-40 minutes on top of the original return time. Operates most days after the Pieman River Cruise.

Exceptional kayaking experiences are available for guests to immerse themselves in the nature of the Pieman River at Corinna Wilderness Village. Fourteen kayaks (with life jackets and paddles provided), are available on-site for hire. We offer some unforgettable and breathtaking trips up and down the magical Pieman River and its tributaries. Participants will enjoy the three-hour Lover's Falls/Savage River Paddle, with the opportunity to see the S.S. Croydon shipwreck (sunk in 1919) and Lovers Falls. There is also the opportunity to explore one of the other tributaries of the Pieman, the Whyte River, a two-hour, family-friendly paddling experience. Some guests are just content to paddle on the Pieman around Corinna. There are water-based experiences suitable for all ages. All kayaking experiences are self-guided. All participants must agree to a safety briefing before departing on their experience. Please note: All water-based activities are wind, rain and tide dependant, your safety is our primary concern, so trips can be cancelled at short notice. Weather conditions on the West Coast do change dramatically so, as the scout’s motto says “Be Prepared” – this is real wilderness."
