Wallis Lake is one of the best family destinations in NSW. Calm water, abundant wildlife, great food options in Forster and a relaxed atmosphere make it ideal for all ages.
BBQ Boat Hire — the family favourite. A self-drive BBQ pontoon is perfect for families. The slow pace, flat deck and calm lake make it safe and enjoyable for kids of all ages. Life jackets are provided in children's sizes. Anchor in a cove, have a BBQ lunch and let the kids swim from the boat. Our Kracken pontoon is also wheelchair accessible for non-electric chairs if needed.
Transparent Kayaking — a genuine wow moment. Kids love our transparent kayaks. Being able to see the lake bed, fish and marine life directly beneath them is genuinely exciting. No experience needed — our team gets everyone started safely.
Paddleboarding — for older kids and teens. Wallis Lake's calm water makes it an excellent place to learn to paddleboard. Older kids and teens tend to pick it up quickly and have a great time. We provide guidance for beginners.
Dolphin Spotting. Wallis Lake has a resident population of bottlenose dolphins. Sightings are common, especially in the early morning and late afternoon. Our team at briefing can advise where they've been spotted recently. No guarantee, but don't be surprised when they show up.
Fishing. Kids love fishing on the lake. Our luxury runabout comes with a GPS fish finder, and our team can advise on the best spots. Bring your own gear or ask us about fishing options.
Planning tip. Start your day on the water in the morning when it's cooler, book ahead during school holidays, and let our team know the ages of any children in your group when you call — we'll make sure you have the right size life jackets and the best boat for your group.
