  We no longer supply food due to the rising cost of food, fuel, insurance etc. This is a way of limiting any price increases. Coolers are provided on all trips to store any food you may wish to bring.

- All clients are supplied with a top of the range inflatable P.F.D. ($500) and a brief talk on safety is done at the beginning of each drift. Self-inflating P.F.D.s can be supplied on request, but users are responsible if they set one off, including falling into the river due to their own actions or dropping them into water. The base cost of shipping, reconditioning and re-certifying is $150 per P.F.D.
- Scenic drifts include drinking water and a pair of binoculars for bird and platypus viewing. Learn more here.

Please note that our listed prices are for the service advertised – not per person. For example if you book a half day drift boat trip at $650 the price is $650 for the boat and guide irrespective of whether one or two people went along. Meaning if you booked it 1:1, it would be $650. If you booked with a friend it would be $650 split two ways – or $325 each.

* These prices are subject to change and will be reviewed on July 1 of each year.

Drift boating down the Goulburn is a great experience. I will do it again and I suggest you do it also.

Absolutely great experience doing the one day learn to fly fish course. Anthony taught us to cast in the morning, salvaged lunch when I messed things up, and got us both to catch fish on dry flies on our first time fly fishing. I would recommend this to anyone wanting to learn to fly fish. The instructor knew the river like the back of his hand, had access to all the properties and seemed to know the fish on a first name basis. Thanks for the great day on the river. I hope to come back and learn more after Christmas. PS- Seeing platypus in the wild was a real bonus 👍

Been a regular client with Ant and the crew for years now. There really isn't much they don't know about fly fishing. They go out of their way above and beyond every time to make sure each drift is rewarding and unique. Hopefully I will be regular for years to come. Thanks.

drift fishing on the G with antony is one of the finest fishing experiences i've had. antony will not only put you onto fish but improve your fish craft and insect knowledge in one session. you will be a better fisherman/woman after this tranquil, informative and exhilerating experience. antony and his team care deeply about the river and are not looking to exploit it's fishing - rather to preserve it. i wish i could say the same about all guiding operations. thanks again antony - looking forward to the next one.

The guys at GVFFC are simply the best when it comes to fly fishing and guiding the Goulburn, Rubicon, Steavenson and other rivers in the area - nobody else comes close. I was lucky enough to have a day of guiding on the Goulburn recently, and their knowledge of the river is nothing short of incredible. I consider myself a fairly experienced fly fisher, but the level of advice and expertise they were able to offer was really eye opening. Everything from reading the water, to new tactics, to local knowledge of trout behaviour and which flies work best in which conditions - it's amazing just how much they can improve your fishing. To top it all off, they're great guys with a real passion for sustainable fishing. Do yourself a favour and book an experience with them - you won't regret it.
