What are some popular outdoor activities to do near Mildura?

The finest view of Mildura is best enjoyed from the Murray River—and there are plenty of options to explore this famous waterway. Book a cruise on a paddle steamer, whether for a few hours or a few days, or hire a self-drive, family-friendly houseboat for a deluxe river getaway where tree-lined banks create tranquil mooring spots. Paddle a kayak or SUP board beside camping areas around Kings Billabong Park, where campsites come with wildlife and bird-spotting opportunities. If you have your own boat, launch from any of the many boat ramps along the river, including in Mildura, Nicholls Point, and Merbein.
