Frequently Asked Questions
Can we book an Escape without the activities?
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.
Can we make changes to the itinerary?
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.
What does the experienced local guide do?
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.

Under the direct supervision of our guide, and if weather conditions allow, you may be able to take the helm.

We will provide up to 2 canoes on request, which is the maximum number that can be stored on the houseboat.
Can we hire powered boats as well?
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.
