What you'll do
This tour is a spectacular way to experience the sights of Melbourne from a unique water level perspective.
The tour meets just before sunset in Victoria Harbour, Docklands, in the west end of the city. After a short safety briefing and paddling technique session on land we set off for an exploration of Victoria Harbour before tying up to a dock in a beautiful marina. The guests stay seated in the kayaks and are served fish n chips for a very special “on-the-water” dining experience.
After our meal we continue our tour upstream, under the Bolte Bridge and through to downtown Melbourne. You get amazing views of the skyline as the sun sets. We kayak past the Crown Casino and alongside Southbank, and time the tour to coincide with the dramatic “fire-ball” display.
Our tour ends at the boat landing area at the Rowing Sheds, right in the heart of Melbourne, and directly across the river from Federation Square.
Other things to note
There is a zip pocket in the front of the life jacket that is suitable for a phone or other small items you may want to have access to. Otherwise we provide dry bags larger items.

Where you'll be
We will start the tour in Victoria Harbour, Docklands just before sunset. We'll have a exploration of the Docklands area and get amazing views of the Bolte Bridge and the Melbourne skyline at dusk. As it gets dark we'll be paddling up the Yarra River, through the South Wharf and then South Bank precinct to check out the fire show at the Crown Casino. Then finish the tour at Boathouse Drive across from Federation Square.

We did this last year for our anniversary and my wife wanted to do it again this year. If you know my wife, that’s enough said right there.
We had a wonderful time and are very grateful for our guides’, Paul and Kent, warm welcome and expertise. This is a great way to see Melbourne from a different perspective and we can’t recommend it highly enough. Magical Thank you. See you next year.

Matt and Thomas showed us a fantastic time kayaking through Melbourne in the Yarra River, what a magical experience it was to see the city from a unique perspective at sunset. Couple with Matt’s personal ancedotes and local knowledge of the docklands this experience has really made an impression on us.
