Kayaks and Houseboats on the Murray River, Riverland, South Australia
Houseboating is a wonderfully relaxing way to enjoy the serenity, beauty and bird-life of South Australia's mighty Murray River. Enhance that experience by hiring a set of sit-on-top kayaks from Canoe Adventures in Berri. These kayaks are stable, self-baling and most importantly - stackable to conserve precious deck space on your houseboat. Kayaks enable you to explore the side creeks and wetlands, and enjoy the early morning sounds without the interruption of your houseboat's engine. Nothing beats an early morning paddle, watching the beauty of the sun-rise mirrored in still waters, the bird calls, kangaroos drinking and cool fresh air on your face.

High flow Tours
At Canoe Adventures we are SO EXCITED that the Murray River is in a period of high flows. The last time we saw the river with flows as high as those predicted for this November/December, was in 2011, so get ready for an awesome time of exploring places that are often inaccessible; and creeks that don’t often flow. Feel yourself unwind as you drift over floodplains amongst the redgums.
During this period of high flows we are offering a special series of guided tours, as detailed below. “But is it safe?”, I hear you ask. Our qualified instructor will take you to places where the flow is mild to moderate Please note that we don’t recommend these routes for unguided hires.
We have a number of options, as listed below. Please note however that they are subject to change or cancellation according to weather (e.g. strong wind), flow, vehicular access and attaining minimum participant numbers. Our booking terms and conditions are available here
Times indicated include vehicle transfer back to our starting point. Trips are one way, going with the flow.

Paddling the Murray River in High Flows
Filmed on 13/10/16 (flows into SA of 48,000ML/day) (sorry - It's wrong at the start of the video) to show what high-than-usual flows actually look like on the water. Currently at Lock 4 the water level is only about 30cm higher than normal. High flows are an exciting opportunity, filling up the wetlands and creek-beds that might usually be dry, giving the land a good drink, and allowing exploration via kayak into lots of nooks and crannies that are not normally accessible. As you can see, the water is not a raging torrent at the moment; - just moving a little more quickly than normal - so take normal water-sport precautions, and don't do anything on the river without a pfd.

Riverland Paddling Marathon 2015
On the Murray River every June long weekend, paddlers gather to participate in the Riverland Paddling Marathon, a 3-day, 208km journey from Berri to Morgan in South Australia run by the Marathon Canoe Club of SA. This was my first Riverland, and Anjie's third. We finished the three days paddling in just over 21 hours and met lots of wonderful people in a beautiful setting :)
It was also possible to compete in a 100km, 50km and 35km event. The people you will see in the locks each day in the video, were all competing in the 208km event.
