Guided by ecologists, naturalists and local experts, explore thriving wetlands, ancient river country and wildlife returning to restored habitat.

Join expert guides on a four-day journey through the culture, wildlife and ecology of the Murray River. Walk along ancient river bends, wander through red gum forests and billabongs and learn how environmental flows are revitalising wetlands, restoring habitat and supporting threatened species such as the southern bell frog and Regent parrot.

Explore diverse landscapes in search of red kangaroos, emus, koalas, goannas and more than 180 bird species found throughout this region.

A luxury houseboat will be your comfortable base, where you'll enjoy creative regional cuisine with Riverland wines and relaxed evenings on deck as the river settles into twilight. With small groups and hands-on interpretation, this journey offers a rare chance to see the Murray thriving and to understand the conservation work behind its recovery.
