Our school just LOVED our time spent with Canoe the Riverland. Being an Outdoor Education teacher at a small school I personally appreciated their willingness to discuss and answer all of my questions and support us to provide our students with a safe, educational and fun experience that they will remember for years to come.
Jim and Ruth’s knowledge, genuine concern and love for the area in which they live and work is incredible. They shared their insights in a thought provoking and engaging manner giving our students a greater appreciation for the fish and bird life of the area, environmental sustainability as well as fascinating historical information.
There is no doubt that their leadership deepened the experience for both myself as a staff member and our students.

Unley High School look forward to camps and excursions every year with Canoe the Riverland. Owners Ruth and Jim are always organised and accommodating to our needs in running kayaking camps for our Outdoor Education students. Not only do Ruth and Jim provide high quality equipment for our students, they are both highly skilled educators and paddlers. They compliment our programs and add value to our students’ experiences and learning by providing quality environmental education. Their local knowledge of the river environment and conditions is also important for the planning and safety of our paddling trips. Their location is also super convenient, allowing direct access to the river for easy group management.
