See what others have to say about their experience with Canoe Adventures Riverland.
Kym is awesome. Seriously, he knows all the creeks up in the Riverlands like the back of his hand. He was super flexible in terms of drop-off and pick-up times and made our canoe adventures so special. Canoe Adventures and the trails put together by Kym are a little South Australian secret... seriously. We did an overnight camping trip through Eckert's creek (and wild camped on Katarapkto island) and the memories will most definitely last a lifetime.
We made the call to get details on how it all worked and within half an hour Kym was at our hotel room to pick us up and take us to our preferred location. Kym showed us various options of where we could explore. He drove us to the location, supplied us with essentials and off we went. We had a mixture of Murray river and some awesome narrow creeks to navigate, when we arrived at the end of our course we called Kym and he was there within 15 minutes and dropped us back at our hotel.
From the on time pick up (from our hotel) to the drop off, everything was perfect! We enjoyed the morning sunrise out on the water, which was incredible. Kym was a wonderful guide, very knowledgeable and friendly. He made sure that this experience was at a relaxing pace, giving us all time to soak in the surroundings. With lots of interest from the smaller winding creeks to the open river and the surrounding cliffs, there was so much to see and take in. Our girls are already asking when we can go back and do this again. I can highly recommend Canoe Adventures Riverland for all ages.
My Son and I had a great time, taking in the views it was lovely to have a guide to explain the birds and scenery to us. Very enjoyable
Such a wonderful way to explore the river and the beautiful backwaters. So evident that Kym has grown up on this beautiful waterway and shares his passion and knowledge. Could have spent a few days doing this - therapy at its best! So good to see the wild life before and after dark - and the tips on the good camping spots too. Thank you. We will be back.
Thanks for everything Kym, our camping trip was perfect thanks to your helpful tips and local knowledge. Highly recommend if you're looking for an amazing sunset tour on the river or renting some of your own to do it yourself. We will be back next year!
We had a fantastic day on the river with Canoe Adventures - Riverland. Kym is passionate about what he does and is relaxed and easy to communicate with. His knowledge of the river is thorough and his maps are detailed and make navigating the river a breeze. He recommended a course for us based on how much time we wanted to spend on the river and was super flexible about pick up points and time. Going through the lock was a fun experience. If you love kayaking or have never tried, totally recommend time on the river with Canoe Adventures - Riverland.
Wonderful long weekend of kayaking and camping. Scenery was interesting, great camping spots were recommended along the river. Saw kangaroos, emus, kookaburra, possums, spoonbills, pelicans. Kym and Karen are so lovely, helpful and knowledgeable. The sunset kayak was fun. Open fires in the evenings. Really recommend this as a fantastic way to have fun and unwind for evening, day or even better several days. Will be back with the family.
Saw the excellent reviews for Canoe Adventures - Riverland. Tim and Karen deserve all the positive press they get. They make sure you have the right boat and gear and you go to the best places. My wife and I can’t describe how much we enjoyed seeing the flora and fauna around Renmark and Berri. The serenity and beauty of the River and it’s extensive backwaters is restorative. We found the Riverland people unfailingly helpful. We had a memorable four days in the Riverland.
A friend and I wanted to go camping on Lindsay Island VIC to do spot of carp fishing and mucking about in canoes for a few days. Apart from hiring good serviceable canoes and all associated equipment at an all inclusive reasonable hire rate, Kym and Andrew supplied detailed topographic maps of the locality and provided us with comprehensive advice of the creek systems and the surrounding country; all delivered with great friendliness and enthusiasm. We would not have enjoyed the break nearly so much without using their services.
