Amazing date idea.
Wonderful kayak tour guides. Well organized. Amazing experience.
A highlight of our holiday
A fun way to tour the Yarra - a real highlight of our visit. Great to hear stories of the river and the city from a unique view point. Highly recommended, even for someone without much kayaking experience.
What you can expect
Melbourne is the kind of city you could spend days in – exploring and taking in the federation buildings along with the newly-built icons. So, why not bypass the traffic and explore Melbourne by kayak? This is the perfect way to see all of the city’s iconic sights without the hassle of city streets.
You’ll kick off your day with a safety briefing and a lesson in paddling, before you jump aboard and head downriver under the Princes Bridge towards the city centre.
Your guide will share with you the city’s history and all the need-to-knows as you cruise the Yarra River. You’ll glide past Flinders Station and right to the must-see Polly Woodside Tallship, before you find yourself in hip Docklands and cruise through towards Crown Casino and South Bank. You’ll finish your paddle back at Boathouse Drive and find your way onto dry land.
