Roonka Bend - Self Guided Kayak Tour

Blanchetown, South Australia

Explore the Murray River at your own pace on a half-day self-guided kayak adventure around Roonka Conservation Park. Paddle beneath ancient limestone cliffs, through peaceful backwaters and along river red gum-lined banks while keeping watch for local wildlife, including pelicans, whistling kites and noisy flocks of cockatoos. The quieter sections of river offer excellent opportunities to slow down, listen to the birdlife and experience the natural character of the Murray. Very lucky paddlers may even catch a rare glimpse of a Murray-Darling carpet python basking on the cliffs. This relaxed experience is ideal for couples, families and nature lovers wanting to discover the river independently while enjoying one of the Riverland's beautiful conservation areas. Get in touch with with the team from Griffens Marina to add this to existing bookings!
