Discover all Melbourne's stunning and iconic sights from a unique water-level perspective. After a quick briefing and paddling lesson, participants will get kitted up and head downriver under the Princes Bridge and into the heart of Melbourne. The tour will continue along the Yarra River past Flinders Station and up to the iconic Polly Woodside Tallship at South Wharf before entering the Docklands precinct and the beautiful Yarra's Edge Marina.
After a short break, the paddlers then head back upstream past Crown Casino and the lively South Bank district before finishing back at Boathouse Drive.
The Eureka Tower is only a short stroll from the end of your Kayak Tour and offers incredible views of the city and surrounding area. Trace your paddling route from Docklands to the thriving restaurant scene at Southgate and peer out over Port Phillip Bay and the Dandenong Ranges. A fantastic way to get two very unique views of Melbourne!
Boathouse Drive directly across the Yarra River from Federation Square. The tour ends at the Parks Victoria landing at Southgate, just a short stroll from Eureka Skydeck 88, Flinders Street Station and the city.

4 months agoPerfect Timing A very well organized and professional tour that gave a great insight into the perspective of Melbourne life from the water. It was a bustling Saturday night in the city. We were blessed with fireworks and the Casino burners at 9pm. The kayaks were very sturdy with all safety and technique briefings thoroughly explained. The fish and chips were a nice touch. If you are visiting Melbourne or a local you will take something wonderful away from the night.

a month agoThis was a brilliant morning Yarra River tour. James was very welcoming, informed us about the river itself and the wildlife that have settled on the river. He also gave a lot of Melbourne facts. I highly recommend!

a month agoEwan and Adam were absolute legends. Great with communication, guiding the group, and well organised. I've lived in Melbourne for years and still learnt a fair bit from Ewan's stories and facts that he told about the places we went by. Would recommend this to everyone

2 months agoWe did the 2 hour City Sights Kayak tour. Our guides are super friendly, knowledgeable and helpful. Loved learning bits of history of the Melbourne city while kayaking in the serenity of Yarra river. Everything was well-prepped and we felt we’re in good hands. What impressed me the most was seeing the main guide picking up plastic bottles from the river to dispose them properly later. It wasn’t just a job, but he really showed interest and care. 🚣♂️👏

2 months agoMy partner and I had the most incredible experience kayaking through the Yarra River with them! Great sunset views and yummy food were the perfect combination for our date. Moreover, the guise, Gus, shared very interesting facts about Melbourne's history and made the experience more memorable with his jokes.
