Kayaking

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.

These tours can be taken during the day or in the evening. Both tours have their perks with the daytime tour showing you the best spots of Melbourne in its sunny best, or the evening tours will show you Melbourne as it lights up at night.

Paddle under the Princes Bridge, past Flinders Street Station and up to the historic Polly Woodside at South Wharf. You will then enter the Docklands precinct for a short rest stop. Afterwards, head back upstream past Crown Casino and South Bank.

You will be taken out on the water with a small group and will be provided with all the gear you require such as a kayak, paddle and life vest. On the kayaking tours, safety is essential, and all tours utilize very stably-designed kayaks to make sure that those who’ve never kayaked before feel comfortable throughout the tour.
