In the Riverland we have some of the best wetlands, creeks and backwaters you’ll find anywhere along the Murray River.

Waterways cover hundreds of kilometers, several national parks and reserves, and many places only accessible by canoe.

You have 3 great options for really experiencing it:

• Hire a canoe, kayak or sit-on-top to splash around or do your own exploring.
• Join us on a relaxed Tour through the wetlands and backwaters.
• Overnight canoe camping – one night or as long as you like. We can provide everything for your expedition – guided or self-supported.

Basic canoe skills training is always available at no extra cost – just ask.
No previous experience is necessary.
