    Had a great time. Guides were great to be with. A beautiful evening on the Yarra watching the light and water show. Also the flame show. Even thinking about doing it again with another person. Great way to see part of Melbourne. Felt very safe.

    Want to see Melbourne from a completely different experience? I recommend you the Sea Kayak Sunset during sunset. It was a fun, unforgettable, and exciting adventure in the middle of the city. We were lucky to have a cool guide (Dane) that shared his knowledge about the city and maybe the experience super easy. 100% recommended!

    My boyfriend and I went on the twilight city tour, and it was everything and more than we had expected. The communication from the team before, during and after was super clear, useful and friendly. We were on the water for a good two hours, the equipment was great, the fact we were absolute beginners was not a problem, and our guide was funny and friendly. I honestly couldn't recommend this oarsome experience highly enough. Witnessing the crown fire show just after sundown was a spectacular finish to a lovely evening.

    This experience was amazing; Exceeded every expectation. We had 6 people go, the youngest being 13. The safety talk and instructions at the beginning meant we all new what to do and had a great time. We went in the evening session and the views were breathtaking. We will be doing this again next time we’re in Melbourne.
