An amazing experience, professionally delivered. Looked after from start to finish and great explanations of the history of the river and city.
Seeing the city lights come on from the water was fantastic.
Just wish we lived close enough to do it again!

Great guide, really knowledgeable about the area pointing out landmarks- beautiful end watching the fire display- good stop for snacks and water. I think the guides were Rowan and Connor

Great experience. Thankful we are in fairly good shape as retirees to keep up the younger participants with the scheduled stops for history of the Yarro river architecture. Very interesting info and perspective and reference along the WaterWalk later!

They took us on a guided tour on the river thru downtown pointing out landmarks and unique buildings etc. they gave instructions on how to kayak and were excellent at communicating as we traversed the river. Great 2 1/2 hour trip.

The staff were very professional and helpful. They were very patient as well. I did kayak on other tours before, but none of them took the time to teach me how to do it properly, resulting in early exhaustion. They gave you a quick lesson, so I feel comfortable to enjoy the whole trip. Highly recommend this tour.

After a 37 degree day in Melbourne kayaking on the Yarra was a refreshing way to see the sights and cool down.

All of us(x4 from Melbourne) enjoyed the experience. Looking at both banks while in the river is very different to from the land. Tour was well organised. Beautiful Sunset was an extra bonus. Highly recommended!
