A great way to see the city - Me and my boyfriend were in Melbourne for only a couple of days. The city tour during the day was a great way to see the city from a different perspective. Our tour guide was really enthusiastic and shared some insights about the city throughout the tour. It was the highlight of our day!

Great Maiden Kayaking Experience - A must do if you haven't experienced yet. Super safe and fun. It was a maiden experience for us and we loved it. Even being aquaphobic, the ride felt very safe and comfortable.

Terrific way to view Melbourne - This was the perfect way to start our Australian adventure & beat jet lag! We arrived in Melbourne at 0600 and hopped on the river at 1430. Our guide Austin was patient with all levels of experience on the tour. We stopped at various points along the Yarra & learned some history as well as some recommendations of places to check out. Highly recommend this unique way to view a beautiful city!

The instructor was very... - The instructor was very knowledgeable as he took charge during our tour and took his time to explain every feature we encountered. Brandon was very friendly and accommodating. I enjoyed the tour and will probably bring my partner next time for such a wonderful experience. Well done to him and his team mate!!

Fun and Informative! - Decided to tag along with a friend as he really wanted to do this, I'm so glad I did! Was actually quite fun, got a unique tour of the city with lots of interesting history of the Yarra River. Austin the instructor clearly explained everything you needed to know before we got into the boat, (two people to one kayak) and there was another instructor on hand in case anyone fell behind or ran into difficulties with the boat. They also had spf to ensure you didn't burn! Overall it was a chilled out, fun activity and they guys made me feel safe.

Great! - The guides, Matt and Austin, were awesome! We wanted a fun outing that didn’t take all day and this was perfect. Fair warning, I’m a big guy, 6ft 5in, and barely fit in the Kayak so you’ve been warned. My wife and I shared the Kayak. It was a lot of fun and informative. Just what we were looking for.

City centre kayaking - One of my best trips ever. Small group, Adam a very good and informative guide. For just under 2 hours we kayaked the Yarra Rover through Central Melbourne to the dock lands, and back again. All the time with interesting facts from Adam about the city and buildings around us. Amazing to view the city from the water. Great value tour, highly recommended
