Kayaking is the most enjoyable and sustainable way to see the wetlands,
allowing an intimate experience with the wildlife without impacting the
natural ecology. Showcasing one of South Australia’s best-kept secrets just
over 200 km north of Adelaide is the internationally recognised Banrock
Station Wetlands.

Our wetlands are a vital part of the environment, acting as living water
filters, nurseries of the valley. Our wetlands play a vital role in carbon
capture, helping reduce the impacts of climate change. Combined, the lagoons
cover over 250 hectares and the total site over 1,000 hectares, including
mallee woodland.

The best way to explore these waterways is by kayak.

We have partnered with Brenton Carle from Canoe the Coorong, a true Eco
tourism operation. Brenton is a Flinders University Eco Tourism graduate, with
years of experience in the industry and they pride themselves on their
conservation efforts to keep the environment they work in pristine for future
generations to be able to enjoy these unique and precious resources.

They are a Tourism Australia Accredited Business, offering an authentic
experience of nature based eco-friendly kayak tours.

They offer tours for people of all ages and skill levels. Tours cruise along
at a pace that allows guests to take in the natural wonders and wildlife that
the Wetlands has to offer.

Please Note: Every few years the wetlands is placed into a dry phase for
approximately 6 months as part of a wetting and drying regime that compliments
the natural wetting and drying cycles of the wetlands. This allows us to
manage the ecosystem and support positive flora and fauna development,
particularly among a range of endangered species. Ecological monitoring and
the evaluation of environmental assets are regularly completed in order to
retain our Ramsar accreditation.

_The next phase of drying is due to commence in Mid 2025. _
