25.01.2022 Get ready to take on the rapids. River sledding is something for everyone. Available for ages 13+, weve also had sledders aged 70 hit the water with us. Head online to book or get in touch today to find out if River Sledding is the epic adventure youre going on this summer.

24.01.2022 The Meander River is perfect for sledding, its shallow enough in most places that you can touch the bottom but with enough water to make epic rapids. This is one next-level adventure you dont want to miss out on this summer!

24.01.2022 River sledding the Meander this summer!

23.01.2022 We are running Wednesday sessions every week for April! We still have space available in tomorrow’s sessions so hurry, book now! https://bit.ly/3qHc8GI

23.01.2022 What an amazing experience! Had an absolute blast, Ryan and Millie were amazing, extremely professional hosts! Lots of belly laughs and screams lol! Thank you Daniel for accommodating us, you were right we had a blast and would highly recommend anyone thinking of trying take the plunge!!!!! ~ Tina

22.01.2022 Were a 50-minute drive from Launceston and Devonport, well meet you at the Meander Town Hall and take you directly to the river. If you dont have access to a vehicle or are coming as a group, let us know and we can organise transport for you.

22.01.2022 Rhonda + George!

21.01.2022 Lisa Qin Hens Party!

20.01.2022 Back to basics, what actually is river sledding? You, a river (the Meander River), a sled (think blow up lilo) and some epic fun rapids. We take care of the small details (like wetsuits, helmets etc.), just book, arrive on time and get that smile ready for a fantastic day!

20.01.2022 Dans the man behind the scenes. Growing up in Launceston, Dan used to hit the river as a kid every weekend. Hes now sharing that unique experience with everyone. Dans the mastermind behind Meander Wilderness Experiences, the bookings expert, bus driver, wetsuit coordinator, sled pumper, course checker and photographer. ... The world has changed since I was a boy and while I cant share with you the experiences of my youth, I can give you this river sledding experience, which I reckon is a ripper. So come on out and have a gander at Meander! DANIEL WICKHAM, FOUNDER

20.01.2022 As much as its an adventurous activity it feels 100% safe so definitely recommended for all ages! ~ Laura

20.01.2022 With Matt and Mel, awesome to have you out on the river with us!

20.01.2022 Beautiful day on the Meander River, or as Maree put it; "The best fun you can have with your pants on."

19.01.2022 Stuck for a gift idea? Give the gift of river sledding. An adrenaline-inducing, fun for all epic adventure through the beautiful Tasmanian bush. https://meanderwildernessexperiences.rezdy.com//3/vouchers

18.01.2022 Reliving the good times! We had a bumper of a season, with nearly twice as many people down the river this year it was a fantastic Summer. Have you been on the Meander with us? What was your best memory?

18.01.2022 Weve decided to close our season early. Usually, wed run until the start of May, the current times have forced us to reconsider. At Meander Wilderness Experiences we take the safety of our customers, staff and guides very seriously. We are very grateful for your support and ongoing engagement in MWE and have very much enjoyed a fantastic 2019/2020 season. We apologies for any disappointment that our early season closure has caused. We are scheduled to hit the river again at... the start of November 2020. If you are doing any forward planning, get in touch as we take private and group bookings. All gift vouchers are still valid for the 2020/21 season (and beyond!). Well personally be in touch with all future bookings. Well still be reliving the seasons highlights on Facebook over the off-season, also posting updates or announcements. Thank you, Daniel

18.01.2022 At Meander Wilderness Experiences well curate a unique experience to suit your requirements and needs. From start to finish, door to door, well be on a wilderness adventure.

18.01.2022 Know a friend whos visiting Tassie this year? Tag them below so they dont miss out on the chance of an adventure of a lifetime!

17.01.2022 FAQ: Is it cold? Probably the most common question we get asked. To pass the question over to our guests: A beautiful section of the river and it was a lot warmer than we expected. We didnt get cold at all. Highly recommended. ~ Peter... The activity was absolutely great even the rain and cold weather didnt stop us to have fun (these wetsuits are magic haha) ~ Laura

16.01.2022 If youve been down the river with us, youve met Millie! Millie grew up on a farm at Avoca. With plenty of space and parents that gave her responsibility. Millie at around age 10, while her parents fought a large fire on the farm. Gave Millie and her brother the job of making peanut butter sandwiches home alone with instructions to jump in the South Esk river if the fire got too close. Millie would go on to spend a lot of time paddling rivers in Tasmania with a community who looked after her, now help her look after you. Join Millie, Ryan and Daniel on the river for an epic adventure at Meander.

15.01.2022 The Meander River is perfect for river sledding. Its not too deep and has grade 1-2 rapids. This makes it perfect for all ages and abilities. Its easy to get the hang of and an epic adventure!

14.01.2022 We take your safety very seriously. Our crew are passionate about the Meander region, the community and the environment with skills and expertise to match. They will keep you safe, entertained and most importantly make sure you have a fun day on the river.

13.01.2022 Youre in safe hands on the river. We take to the river with two guides, expertly trained and with you for the whole way. Our guides know the river like the back of their hands and are always there to help.

13.01.2022 Tag a mate youd race down the river. There might be a couple of obstacles (rocks, rapids, other sledders) in the way, the winner is never certain!

13.01.2022 Making a splash rather than breaking the ice!

12.01.2022 "It is the best fun you can have with your pants on." ~Maree

12.01.2022 We had so much fun this season with so many different ages and groups of people coming down the river with us. Our recent trip with Matt and Mel was no exception you couldn’t wipe the smiles off their faces!

11.01.2022 Since we first hit the river, weve been taking groups of school kids down with us. River Sledding is fun for everyone and the kids love it. Get in touch today regarding bookings [email protected]

10.01.2022 Meander is halfway between Devonport and Launceston, in the north of Tasmania. On the Meander River between Quamby Bluff and Mother Cummings Peak. Theres a lot to see, but a lot more when you get off the road. Fast-flowing but shallow, the river runs through the Tasmanian bush. The only chance to see hard to access places from a unique and one of a kind vantage point.

10.01.2022 Fantastic Day Out - great guides, well organised, great gear, magical location ... stop thinking about it people and DO IT Maree knows what shes talking about, well be seeing you on the Meander River soon! Well bring the wetsuits and gear; you just need to show up!

07.01.2022 What an experience if you can add it to your to-do list in Tassie - do it. Absolutely fantastic. Great team with a great concept. ~ Kate

07.01.2022 We often get asked if you get cold River Sledding. Our answer: no. When sledding youre on top of the water rather than in it. You will end up in the water occasionally and splashed quite a bit, but your wetsuit and jacket will keep you warm. Sledding requires a bit of upper body movement as well, staying active means youll keep nice and warm. ... Dont believe us? Youll just have to check it out for yourself!

07.01.2022 We supply all the gear to make sure you don’t get cold or uncomfortable. In the words of Tigga57 Give it a go!

07.01.2022 Great experience, heaps of fun. Be prepared to experience adrenaline, bumps, dunking and satisfaction in completing the course. Great guides and very well organised. ~ Jan

05.01.2022 We run tours weekly on Wednesday and Saturday. But were always open well nearly always. Get in touch today if our dates dont suit your schedule or if youve got a large group ready to hit the river. We can easily make room in our week for you. Email: [email protected] or call Daniel on0427 731 934.

04.01.2022 There is still lots of fun happening on the river! With limited sessions left for the season, book today before we sell out. https://bit.ly/3qHc8GI

04.01.2022 The Meander River is known for its trout fishing. Were the first adventure activity to take place on the river, giving you unlimited access to a beautiful part of Tasmania. See something different today, enjoy a breath of fresh air with us on the Meander River.

03.01.2022 Thank you so much for looking after us so extremely well. You guys ROCK!! Also all the gear to keep us nice and warm was awesome, after thinking we would freeze we were the total opposite ~ Bec

03.01.2022 Sole traveller, family, romantic date, kids party, adults party, hens do, school trip, old boys day out etc. River sledding really is for everyone. We offer weekly tours over the summer seasons, as well as special group, education and corporate offerings.

01.01.2022 What is River Sledding? A fun way to have an epic adventure on the river! Grab a wetsuit, life jacket and helmet before taking on the rapids with your sled. The sled is like a big blow-up lilo Experience something different today, soak up the sights and have a lot of fun in Meander.

01.01.2022 Is River Sledding cold? NO! With the thrill of adventure and all your gear, you wont even notice the old. Dont let something like the thought of getting cold stop you from having fun. When youre on the river, youre moving, out of the water and in a 3mm wetsuit with another 3mm jacket over that. ... This keeps you warm and toasty, weve not had over 600 people down the river with us. Not one cold complaint!
