Frequently Asked Questions
Not from us at this current time. But please contact Renmark Boat Hire to discuss your powered boat needs. They have a range of boats available for hire from comfortable pontoon cruisers to dinghys and ski boats.
We will provide up to 2 canoes on request, which is the maximum number that can be stored on the houseboat.
Under the direct supervision of our guide, and if weather conditions allow, you may be able to take the helm.
The experienced local guide will navigate the houseboat under the Paringa Bridge, along the river channel and moor the houseboat in the best locations. They will also help you interpret the landscape and share knowledge of the river system. Your guide won’t be with you all the time, only for houseboat cruising and scheduled activities.
We are happy to discuss whether alterations to the itinerary can be made, however, please know that sometimes due to logistics and remote location, not all requests can be fulfilled.
Escapes can be booked without a schedule activities if there is availability – it becomes a houseboat holiday with driver included. We are happy to discuss this with you.
At the time of booking a tour, consider an appropriate level of travel insurance that includes COVID-19 cover. Please read the PDS and check the policy is right for you before making a purchase.

The walking routes, houseboats and vehicles are not suitable for wheelchair access.
However, we can make accommodations for guests who can walk, but with low mobility. These guests can skip the walking route and remain on the houseboat while the group go out walking.
I would like to thank the team at Murray River Trails for their attention to detail piecing together a remarkable journey and a wonderful experience of wilderness, food, wine/brandy, and history of the Riverland. We loved it.
We loved our river guide arriving each morning after breakfast to help us find our next spectacular location, this is the escape we all needed. Truly peaceful and I read 2 books!
