“More like an extended family than a club” Comradery, helpfulness, thoughtfulness and a common love of paddling on the water are some of the attributes reflected by our membership. A balanced gender and age, ranging from mid 50’s to early 80s, all from different backgrounds and experiences, mixed with singles and couples and most importantly…..all having FUN.
With a refreshing lack of competitiveness, we’re more interested in sharing a good time and a laugh along the way than who’s got the best boat and who’s quickest through the water.

We paddle on Fridays, usually on the Swan & Canning Rivers, Penguin Island, Palm Beach and at Mandurah, all year round. Occasionally we go to Moore River. We have two groups, one of which has a longer paddle than the other. Distances are usually about 6 or 12 km. There is basic tuition available for beginners and you can bring your own canoe or use one of ours for a small charge.
Our members paddle kayaks. New members are most welcome.
Based in Perth, The Over 55 Canoe Club caters for people over 55 years of age who wish to enjoy canoeing in the company of other very friendly people.
We meet every Thursday morning at 8.30 a.m. from April until November. Our paddles have a short rest period as needed, a morning tea break with return for lunch at the start point, usually by noon. Cars are guarded by a volunteer(s) each week.
OFFWA offers a wide range of walks for seniors in Perth and surrounding areas from March to November each year. The walks are chosen for their surfaces, interest, availability of parking and the provision of toilets.
The club meets every Tuesday at 10am and the walks commence promptly at 10.30am. Members are permitted to walk as far as they choose and at the pace they are comfortable with. Afterwards many stay behind and enjoy lunch with fellow walkers.
The walks range in distance up to 8kms and trained first aiders accompany members to offer assistance where needed.
