Go Boats
Pack a picnic and a bottle of wine and head out to Lake Burley Griffin for a unique Scandinavian boat experience. The idea first began in Copenhagen in 2014, and has since spread to locations across Denmark, Sweden and most recently London. Canberra is the first location outside of Europe. Each GoBoat accommodates eight guests, is fully equipped with safety equipment, and does not require a boating license to operate.
