Dunalley: Canal History, Fishing and Wine

The Denison Canal, local walking routes, fishing trips departing from Dunalley and wine experiences at Bangor offer different ways to enjoy a stay in Dunalley. The man-made canal lends the town a historic character, complemented by opportunities for walks, half- or full-day tours, and wine and dining experiences. When planning your stay, a simple question can help: would you like to spend most of your time walking, fishing, enjoying wine and food, or taking a coastal flight?

Denison Canal and walking routes in Dunalley

The Denison Canal is a man-made canal in Dunalley that opened for use in 1905. At Dunalley Canal, a concrete and gravel path runs from the bridge to the Tasman Monument. The Dunalley Canal Walkway connects the canal area with Imlay Street Park. The bridge, monument and park offer clear landmarks for exploring on foot, while the canal’s opening history adds another point of interest. In Dunalley, you can choose to focus on either a walk with named destinations along the way or the canal’s historical context, depending on your interests.

Fishing trips in two time formats

South East Charters offers tailored half- or full-day trips for game, estuary or offshore fishing, departing from Dunalley. Choosing a time format answers a practical planning question, while the different types of fishing provide distinct focuses. If you’re planning a fishing activity, you can weigh up the time available and your interests together. Unlike the walking routes, this option centres on a tour expressly offered as either a half- or full-day trip.

Wine, history and regional produce

On the Bangor Vineyard Tour, visitors learn about the winery, its wines and the history of Bangor, and taste the current range. Bangor Vineyard Shed offers wine tastings and meals throughout the day featuring regional produce; wine and food pairings are also available. The tour combines a tasting with an introduction to the winery and its history; the Shed additionally offers meals and wine and food pairings. When choosing between the two experiences, consider whether you’d like to combine a tasting with an insight into the winery and its history, or whether you’re more interested in meals and pairings. Confirm the tour arrangements before travelling. The Shed’s opening days and availability, as well as booking availability for wine and food pairings, may change.

A coastal flight as another option

DineAlley offers guests in Dunalley a scenic coastal flight back to Dunalley. The price is $1,800 for one person and $2,200 for a pair; the offer’s availability may change. The prices distinguish the flight option by number of participants, while the fishing trips are offered in half- or full-day formats.
