A Low Tide Walk in Deptford Creek is a truly unique experience. With the help of our guides, you will get down onto the river bed, explore the ecology and wade into the natural and social histories of this amazing urban space.

"Knowledgeable, personable and lively guides with a great sense of humour." – LTW participant feedback

By observing and appreciating the variety of wildlife present in Deptford Creek, we hope we can foster a greater connection between people and the urban nature around them.

A Low Tide Walk takes about 2 hours, which includes putting on waders and preparing for the river, walking up and back down the river, using nets to observe the wildlife under the water, and washing waders and hands after the walk. Please arrive promptly for the time stated at the event.
