Description

Explore Melbourne from a unique water-level perspective on the Yarra River, ideal for first-time kayakers and seasoned paddlers. No prior experience is needed, as expert guides provide support throughout the tour. Use stable, easy-to-operate fibreglass sea kayaks designed for comfort and safety.

The tour starts just before sunset at Victoria Harbor in the Docklands precinct. Following a safety briefing and paddling instruction on land, you’ll paddle through Victoria Harbor before docking at a marina. There, you remain seated in your kayak to enjoy a fish and chips meal during this on-water dining experience.

After dining, continue upstream under the Bolte Bridge, past Crown Casino, alongside the Southbank area, and beyond Flinders Street Railway Station beneath Princes Bridge. The tour finishes near Melbourne’s sporting precinct at the Rowing Sheds landing area, opposite Federation Square, as the city lights come on and evening activity begins.
