Wonderful experience! - Mark is great. Advice to other tourists: if weather not suitable, ask if time change is possible. They are always very accomodating. My friend and I had a lovely time, guided by Mark along the Yarra River. He has been patient in explaining how the water bikes work, and showing us the Melbourne landmarks. While we’re cycling on the water, he took multiple photos of us at different spots - making this trip even more memorable. I highly recommend Waterbikes Australia for a relaxing bike cruise around the Yarra river, as well as getting Mark as your guide. On a final note, my advice to others booking the tour is: always check the weather and if it looks unfavourable at the timing you’ve booked, you could try requesting for a time change. They’re very accomodating and won’t hesitate to fit you in if they can.

Nice sunny ride on the Yarra river - This river offers an excellent viewpoint to see all the sites in the Southbank. Our hosts were awesome! They emailed us all the best pictures - for free! The bike is easy to pedal but the seat is a bit uncomfortable.

Lovely day on the Yarra - Was very happy with the experience. Easy to find the boats on the Yarra and our guide was very friendly. It didn’t feel rushed and we were able to take in the ride at an easy pace.

A fun day out! - This is a fantastic activity and highly recommended! You really do get to see Melbourne from a very different angle when cycling on the Yarra River. For those that might be wondering, you won't get we either while you are cycling or while getting off or on (unless your foot slips of the pedal and your foot briefly might go in the water). We went on a day with slight drizzle, which was perfect as I could imagine on a hot day you might cook (if it is sunny. I'd suggest you bring a hat and sunscreen). A fun day and you certainly do not need to be an athlete....it is very easy to pedal.

Stunning views for days!! - An absolutely incredible experience, and one of the highlights of my entire Australia trip. Mark was a highly knowledgeable and gregarious tour guide, who truly made everyone on the tour feel incredibly welcome. The views were absolutely spectacular, Mark took some wonderful photos, and as a bonus I stayed completely dry! Thoroughly recommend this to anyone looking for a unique way to explore Melbourne.
