Canoe the Riverland

Hire a kayak to explore our wetland trail. One price lasts all day so pack a picnic and allow time to relax into the environment.
Sunset Kayak Tours are available daily on demand. Allow 1.5hrs. We’ll travel at your pace.
Moonlight Kayak Tours are run 3 nights over the full moon. Allow 2hrs
Small Motor Boat Cruises can also take you through the creeks and lagoons. Your guide Jim will provide a commentary on the history and environment.

All tours and hire leave from our riverfront property where creeks allow loops that take from an hour up to days of exploring the natural environment with its birds and wildlife.

If you would appreciate the beauty and tranquility of kayaking on one of the safest and unspoiled recreational rivers in the world, Canoe the Riverland has been designed for you. Launch from our riverside property that offers private and easy access to the biosphere and protected backwaters of Woolenook Bend. Absorb the relaxation and choose when you want to return.

Our aim is to ensure you thoroughly enjoy your kayaking experience. We have kayaks and canoes to suit beginners through to experienced adventurers. Hire includes paddle and PFD (‘life jacket’) with rudder (optional) and waterproof storage.

We hold qualifications in teaching, kayak instruction and first aid, and provide instruction and assistance tailored to your level of experience.
