Amazing Day out on the Murray River with Canoe Adventure Riverland! Our booking was so easy, just met him at the location he gave us and he dropped us back, no time limit, he gave us a comprehensive map and said have fun!!! Which we did in spades! So many amazing birds, hundreds of pelicans, whistling kites, water birds etc! We absolutely loved out day out on the water discovering the mighty Murray River!!!
Great couple of days on the river: "Thanks so much to Kym and Karen! I travelled with a 14, 15 and 16 year old and we had a fabulous time. We started with a beautiful sunrise guided tour with Kym on a surprisingly cool summer morning. What a great way to start the day! We absolutely loved the morning tea stop with all luxuries provided. Lots of informative chat along the way, and even accommodated my dog! The second day we hired canoes and took ourselves off down the river, with a really memorable trip through the lock. We were set up by Karen and felt thoroughly well looked after. Highly recommended and thanks once again. We hope to be back"
Beautiful sunrise, serene environment, friendly and knowledgeable guide. "The sunrise kayak tour was just a treat - millpond like conditions on our departure from Gurra Gurra Lake with a gorgeous sunrise, lovely stop at Murray River NP for tea and biscuits, then another meander down beautiful backwaters to our final landing."
Great day on the water for the entire family: "We booked in for a full day with two double kayaks. Kym dropped them off right on time, was very helpful and gave us everything we needed for a perfect morning on Lake Bonney. Due to a quieter than usual day Kym offered to pick up the kayaks and change location for the afternoon. We had a break for lunch before following him to lock 4 where he talked us through a fantastic route and provided us with a laminated map to ensure we didn’t get lost. We ended up kayaking 10km in total for the day across the two locations. All in all it was a wonderful day, great value for money with above and beyond service from a down to earth company. If you don’t have your own kayaks do yourself a favour and book a couple of these for the day and enjoy some time on the water with your family."
Horizon Christian School has had a long association with Canoe Adventures - Riverland. Throughout this time Kym has always been extremely professional, from his quick responses to inquiries and questions, to the quality of his gear and his instructing. Kym has a fantastic knowledge of the waterways within the Riverland and is well-equiped to set-up a variety of different adventures for you. I have enjoyed getting to know Kym throughout our many camps together and I trust his judgement both when planning a camp and when on the water.
Our Riverland highlight! Our family of 4 (kids 8 and 10) loved the self guided kayak trail from near Berri to Lock 4. We weren't sure if kids needed their own kayaks (as they have kayaked a lot), but we ended up going 2 doubles which was perfect as meant we all didn't have to paddle as hard when there was a little bit of wind. Scenery and tranquility were fantastic through backwaters, lagoons and the main Murray River channel. Birdlife was also amazing. The one way transfer at the end back to our car was great as saved us back tracking. We'll be back to explore another part of the Murray next time we're back. Thanks again Kym and Karen for a great experience.
Kym was brilliant. He met us exactly on time for both start and end of journey. Very friendly and well organised. Kym recommended a passage for the best kayaking experience and it was fantastic. Would recommend to everyone and anyone.
Karen and Kym are wonderful guides. Organising the trip was easy - communications were prompt and they were happy to work in with our timeframes. Equipment was great, their knowledge was fabulous and we enjoyed a really relaxing paddle down the river, punctuated by a morning tea stop that involved local produce.
We just had our third adventure with Canoe Adventures-Riverland. Kym is very experienced and knowledgeable. The river is beautiful and the whole experience is very worthwhile.
Myself and 13 of my backpacker friends booked in for an afternoon trip around the river. Great experience, reasonably priced and really fun!
