Highly recommend. Unique way to see the city - Highly recommend. Great instructors. Beautiful experience down the Yarra. We got to see a lovely sunset and finish up into the night. Went for 3-hours. Absolutely worth it and a unique way to see the city at night.

Excellent Sunset Kayaking Experience in Melbourne - I really enjoyed this experience. The instructors were friendly, approachable, and knowledgeable about the Dock and the Yarra River. The food was great and the views were amazing. I would highly recommend this activity for anyone who wants to do something different on their visit to Melbourne.

AWESOME Experience! - This experience was AWESOME and so worthwhile!! Seeing the sun go down while Melbourne started to illuminate as the night settled was quite magical! I actually didn’t want to do it because we have gone kayaking several times and in several places, but my husband insisted and I appreciate it because it was one of the best things we did during our trip in Australia! The guides were very nice and dinner had great options to choose from! I totally recommend this experience to everybody!

Exceptional - Kayaking for the first time was amazing. , I felt calm and peaceful. . I enjoyed the tour, the sunset, and paddling along the river. I knew by the end that kayaking would be a hobby I'd love, giving me lots of chances to enjoy nature.

So fun! - Decided to book this spontaneously earlier in the day and we had the most fantastic time. Gus and Aiden were so knowledgeable and helpful. Such a unique and fun way to take in the ambience of Melbourne- especially with add ons like getting to stop and see the fire show outside the Crown. Will remember this experience for a long time to come!

Best way to see Melbourne from the comfort of your very own kayak! - Absolutely awesome evening kayaking up and around the Yarra River from Docklands to Fed Square. Ari and Adam got us all set up and in our kayaks with a great safety and instruction briefing and we very very quickly on our way. The kayaks also have rudders which make steering and avoiding obstacles a breeze 😀 Anyone can do it, even those with no previous experience! A must do excursion for locals and visitors alike! Certainly deserves the 5 stars! Thanks again for the great night.

Great for singles, friends, and families! - This was a wonderful and low-key experience! After going through the necessary basics of kayaking in the double kayaks they have, we loaded our boats into the water, kayaked up the river, and would stop every now and again to hear tidbits from our guide. Halfway through we stopped for dinner, tied up the boats at a dock, and shared a simple communal experience eating in the kayaks themselves with delicious takeaway from a riverside restaurant. (There are more options on the menu than just fish and chips—the grilled fish was excellent!) It was a beautiful sunset and very relaxing evening, even though paddling a kayak is a bit of exercise. We didn’t need to go very fast though. I would definitely recommend this!
