Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.

My wife and I are back for our second canoe trip down the Murray River. At the start of 2016, just after xmas we stayed at the Hovel Tree Motel in Albury, NSW, which is just opposite Noriel Park where the Canoe Man picks you up from. We started our trip about 30 minutes up stream from mangabareena and finished the trip where we started from around 4 hrs later. We stopped along the way and had a picnic. Thoroughly enjoyed ourselves. That's why we are back again. Very meditative. Very relaxing.

A canoe is not cheap to buy. And not a good investment if you're only likely to use it a couple of times a year. But luckily for us Albury district residents (and the smart travellers who chose us as a holiday destination) - you can experience all the fun of paddling/floating a canoe down the Murray thanks to Canoe The Murray. For $30, the guys meet you at the boat ramp at Noreuil Park, and drive you out to The Waterworks or Mungabareena. They set the canoe or kayak in the water for you; help you into a lifejacket; and into the canoe. They give you the basic instructions you need, and you're off...for 3 hours or so of the most beautiful relaxing float down the river back to Noreuil Park. They'll be there to meet you and help you up to the ramp and out of your canoe. They even mind your car keys for you if you dont want to take them with you. We stopped for a half hour picnic along the way. Others stopped for a swim. I took my phone in a ziplock bag - no problems. I recommend taking sunscreen, a hat, a towel (to sit on or cover your legs from the sun), and a water bottle. You can paddle on your own, or in a 2 or 3 person canoe. Great fun!

I contacted Michael, the owner of Murray River Canoe Trips to ask if I could just try my hand at Kayaking.
He picked me up at Noreuil Park in Albury along with a group of 5 people and drove us to Doctors Point a 1 to 11/2 hour trip on a kayak or canoe down stream back to Noreiul Park. I watched as Michael briefed the group on the trip and off they went in 2 and a person canoes.
Then I was taken to a beautiful spot a little further upstream where the river current would not influence the kayak.
I was shown the ropes and shoved off, only to get the wobbles and over I went. Returning to the boat ramp, Michael told me he expected me to roll over, then he showed me how to balance better using the paddle to help and off I went again. It was fantastic after I had some confidence and I paddled around for half an hour. It was really great and on returning to the ramp I was beaming. Michael said it was easy and it was.
We loaded the kayak and returned to Noreuil Park. For this hour he would not accept payment and told me he was happy to teach me the ropes.
I could not recommend a business any higher and if you are looking for an adventure in a kayak or canoe, contact Murray River Canoe trips. Info@canoethemurray.com.au or phone Michael on 0487 422 663

My husband and I have done canoeing before and we certainly didn't want to miss a tour on the Murray river. I can definitely recommend it. The tour was pretty great but we didn't go for a swim. Also make sure you are packing sunscreen!!!

I decided I wanted to do a dusk kayak of the Murray River, so went along the Mungabareena trip. It was a lovely, peaceful trip, just what I needed after the long drive from Sydney to Albury.
Was great to see local wildlife thriving in the area, also was very impressed with the level of water in the Murray River, it was nice and full! When I got back to Noreuil Michael was ready and waiting for me, great service and thanks for the experience Canoe the Murray team!
