Best Canoe/Kayak excursions
Follow the Goldminers - canoe down the Harrison River. 150 years ago Goldminers in their thousands took paddlewheelers up the Harrison River on their way to Port Douglas following their gold fever. These days the Harrison River is more tranquil and a great place to paddle. Staying to the north side of the river will generally keep you away from the boat traffic and if you leave a second car at Kilby Park, you won't have to paddle back up river to Harrison. Alternatively kayak halfway and then return to Harrison the way you came.
