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.
