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.

Frequently Asked Questions

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.

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.
