A great way to enjoy the country side in South Australia is by houseboat. Take a houseboat as a part of your tour of bush. This is an experience you will all enjoy. You can set sail at your own pace up and down the waterways. You can stop where ever you feel like taking in a bit more of the wonderful scenery or where the fishing seems good. It’s like caravanning on water, your houseboat becomes the place to fish, make friends, partake in water sports and enjoy sightseeing.

You can book a houseboat experience with the South Australian Visitor and Travel Centre or the Houseboat Hirers Association websites. You will find a Murray River Guide, the Murray River Pilot that takes you from Renmark to the Coorong and Murray River Charts that go from Renmark upstream for good charts of the Murray. The Riverland and Murraylands visitor centers have these up to date charts for you to purchase. The SA Waters Atlas and Guide also have good charts for negotiating the river.

You can choose from hundreds of houseboats that range in accommodation for two people to twelve people. You will find houseboats that have five star luxuries to the budget and more family friendly options. No matter what your budget you only need a driver’s license to enjoy captaining your own houseboat.

You will need to supply all your own food and drink for your holiday houseboat. Crockery and cutlery, cooking utensils, life vest and buoys are supplied on houseboats, as are tow way radios or mobile phones, fridges, stoves and furniture. Some houseboats do not offer linen, you need to check which household items you may need to bring or if you need to upgrade your package. Some houseboat companies and packages offer more than others and you will need to check that you are getting what you expect. You will also need a variety of clothing. It can be very cool at night and warm during the day. Sunscreen and insect repellent is a must. Some houseboats come with a crew and even a chef if you would like.

Adelaide’s beachfront suburbs have a village feel as you travel along the coastline out from the city’s heart. You will find that swimming and jogging and other water sports are very popular on the beaches of Adelaide. The coastline of Adelaide begins at the tip of the rather narrow LeFevre Peninsula and continues until Sellicks Beach. All along this stretch of coastline you will see sandy beaches, beautiful sparkling blue water, reefs, and wetlands and estuaries. A spectacular feature is the cliffs that glow in the setting sun.

The popular beach destination in Adelaide is Glenelg. You will find the village feel here as you browse the shops and enjoy dining in the cafes along Jetty Road. You can even swim with dolphins in Glenelg. Temptation Sailing has charters to take you to swim with the dolphins, an experience that visitors never forget. Temptation is the first vessel to be given a dolphin swim license in South Australia.

You will find great sandy beaches, fishing jetties, shopping and more great food at Henley Beach, Grange and Semaphore. There are also playgrounds for the children to enjoy and you will find live entertainment in the summer months. If you head out to Port Adelaide you will find museums and dolphins playing in the harbor. Port Adelaide is referred to as the maritime heart of Adelaide and is busy with markets on the weekends.

For those who love to see nature there is a great walking track that follows the coast south of Adelaide that will take you along rugged cliff tops and past important geological sites. Included in the walk is the Hallett Cove Conservation Park, where you can visit Black Cliff, the Sugarloaf and the Amphitheatre. Port Noarlunga is another historic port and a much loved local beach. This is a great beach to take the family to. The beach is protected by the reef home to the underwater discovery trail. This is a diver’s paradise.
