DISCOVER SAILING ADVENTURES
PERSONALISED ACCREDITED
SAILING TUITION
Our main Sailurunga “Discover Sailing Adventure” is open to people of most abilities and is approximately a three hour sailing adventure from Urunga To Mylestom Village and back.
It is provided without the technical detail of an accredited sailing course and is an ideal way for you and your friends or family or other small groups including those with some disabilities to experience the joy of small boat sailing on our appealing rivers where we may be lucky and see dolphins, turtles, sea eagles and even the odd shipwreck.

Starting our Adventure by the old rail bridge in scenic Urunga, we head down the Kalang River occasionally (when the opportunity arises) sneaking through a hole in the rock wall and setting our sails at a tiny island where the 2 rivers meet before heading up the Bellinger River. Closer to Mylestom, if the tide allows us, we can stop and look at one of the old timber Paddle Steamers (called Droughers) that used to ply our rivers carting timber and other goods.
At Mylestom we can take a break, (yes, there are clean toilets) enjoy the views, have coffee and their famous hot chips or other delectable goodies from Mylestom Store before returning to Urunga.

The boat that we currently use for our Sailing Adventures is an Australian made Springbank 15. It also has a small outboard motor in the event of too much or too little wind to ensure we get home comfortably and safely. Sailurunga can comfortably cater to a group of up to 3 adults or 2 adults and up to 2 or 3 children depending on their ability and size. No pets please. We can also cater to 1 person with a carer. All children must be accompanied by an adult.
Our ideal sailing window is between 10am and 1.30pm (Note that these times are approximate) allowing us to stay on the water for up to 3 hours so you need to be at the boat ramp by 9.30am.
