Fall in Love with the Murray
Murray River Trails offers small group guided tours with luxury houseboat accommodation in one of the most remote and pristine regions of Australia’s longest river. Here, the river winds through the outback, creating an oasis for wildlife.
Explore breathtaking landscapes, encounter iconic Australian wildlife, and delve into the wonders of this unique ecosystem. Each day, your houseboat moves to a new stretch of the river, unveiling fresh areas to explore and providing a stunning new backdrop for sunset dining. In the evenings, you’ll savour menus that celebrate the finest food and wine the region has to offer.

Our Location in South Australia
Your experience with Murray River Trails begins in the river town of Renmark, South Australia. If you fly into Adelaide, South Australia or Mildura, Victoria, Renmark is an easy 3 hour drive from Adelaide, or a 90 minute drive from Mildura.
Every aspect of this tour exceeded expectations. Inspiring, spectacular - such a privilege. I've always wanted to have a houseboat experience and explore around the Murray and we hit the jackpot.
High River, the friendly, caring nature and love of the river shone throughout the day from the guides and everything about the carefully planned variety if the walks make it easy to recommend this walk to others. A great walking pace and an exceptional experience.
This walk was a very enjoyable experience. I will definitely be coming back to the Murray. Also, this trip improved my knowledge and understanding of the catchment and the need to continue to make every effort to protect this wonderful place while also supporting the communities who live and work near the rivers.
