Melbourne Water Activities

Located close to Port Phillip Bay, Melbourne is truly a unique city and one of the most visited tourist destinations in Australia.

When it comes to activities on the water, Melbourne offers an array of fun-filled activities suitable for visitors of all ages.

Water Activities in Melbourne, Day or Night Cruise on the Yarra River




Popular water activities in the city include boat cruises and kayak tours, but if you head a little further out, you can enjoy surfing, paddleboarding, snorkelling and so much more.

When planning a visit to visit Melbourne in the warmer months, your list of things to do should include spending a day out on the water with a kayak tour. These kayaking tours will take you over the Yarra River which runs right down the middle of the Melbourne CBD. From this vantage point, you will have unobstructed views of Melbourne’s beautiful skyline.

If sightseeing is on your agenda, then take a relaxing cruise down the Yarra River. These tours will take you past the beautiful Southbank, Crown Casino, Docklands and Federation Square.

For a truly Aussie adventure, head down to Phillip Island and watch the penguin parade as they come in to nest on the beach at dusk. From Phillip Island, you can also hop on a boat and see the furry seals and bottlenose dolphins. Some tours even allow you to swim in the water with these beautiful creatures.

There are so many water activities to choose from, so check out the links below!
