Water Activities

South Australia's national parks offer a range of opportunities for water-lovers to explore diverse and fascinating environments both above and below the surface. With thousands of kilometres of coastline and numerous inland rivers and waterholes, including the mighty Murray River, you are sure to find the perfect location for any water activity.

Use a canoe to explore wetlands and backwaters, cruise our coastal parks in your boat or throw in a fishing line. Why not grab your board and catch a wave, take a dip in the desert thermal springs or dive underwater to discover the diverse marine life and submerged shipwrecks…there's something for everyone.
