This evening Melbourne tour by kayak is the ultimate Yarra River experience not to be missed. It’s a great way to not only get a feel for Melbourne but to also experience the city from a unique perspective – on the water and into the skies!
You’ll start this Melbourne kayak tour in Victoria Harbour, which is located in the Docklands area of Melbourne. After a quick but thorough safety briefing from your local guide, you’ll hop in your kayak and get acquainted with the waters. After you’ve have a paddle around the harbour, you’ll tuck into some fish and chips for dinner to create an ‘on water’ dining experience. Nothing can beat chowing down on some good food from a kayak whilst admiring the Melbourne skyline by night!
After you’ve filled your belly with some delicious dinner, you’ll head upstream on this evening tour of Melbourne, under Bolte Bridge, and towards Melbourne’s lively downtown. Kayak past swanky Crown Casino and alongside stylish Southbank. Paddle by iconic Flinders Street Railway Station and beneath historic Princess Bridge before arriving at the approach to Melbourne’s enormous sporting precinct. With your local guide by your side, you’ll get all the insider info on these iconic Melbourne landmarks.
The final stop on this Melbourne tour will take you out of your kayak and into the skies. Skydeck 88 at Eureka Tower is only a short stroll away, and offers unparalleled views of the Melbourne skyline. You’ll head up to this deck with your local guide, and from here you’ll be able to trace your paddling route from Docklands to the thriving restaurant scene at Southgate, and peer out over Port Phillip Bay and the Dandenong Ranges. Test your courage with 'The Edge' - a glass cube which projects 3 meters out from the building - with you in it - suspended almost 300 meters above the ground!
Once you’ve experienced Melbourne from sea level and the dizzying heights of the Eureka Tower, your evening tour in Melbourne will finish up back down on land. From here your local guide will be happy to point you in the direction of more things to do in this area, or give you a hand with directions back to your accommodation.
Melbourne’s Yarra River is an excellent location for novice paddlers to experience kayaking for the first time. No kayaking experience is needed to enjoy our Melbourne tour; our patient guides will be with you every step of the way. With a new fleet of extremely stable Sea Bear sea kayaks, the experience will be even easier for first-time paddlers.
