What you can expect
See the nation’s capital from a whole new perspective as you take to Lake Burley Griffin with your family and friends on an electric picnic boat for up to one hour. Chart your own course and explore the serene location at your leisure.
These eco-friendly picnic boats are powered by electric engines with virtually no noise, no fumes, and are so easy to drive that anyone can do it. Fitted out with timber picnic tables, cup holders, and canopies, all you need to do is gather your crew and pack a picnic.
Setting sail from Trevillian Quay at the Kingston Foreshore, guests can enjoy a picnic on Canberra's famous lake - rather than beside it!
