City Sightseeing Kayak Tour in Melbourne
A stunning kayak paddle right through the centre of Melbourne with amazing views of the skyline and historic bridges along the way.
After a quick briefing and paddling lesson, you will get kitted up and head downriver under the Princes Bridge and into the heart of Melbourne. The tour will continue along the Yarra River past Flinders Station and up to the iconic Polly Woodside Tallship at South Wharf before entering the Docklands precinct and the beautiful Yarra’s Edge Marina. After a short break, the paddlers then head back upstream past Crown Casino and the lively South Bank district before finishing back at Boathouse Drive.
This tour is an appropriate length for younger paddlers who can team up with Mum or Dad or one of our guides. With a fleet of extremely stable Sea Bear kayaks, the experience will be comfortable for first-time paddlers.
Your tour ends back at the boat landing area at the Rowing Sheds, directly across the river from Federation Square.
What an incredible way to experience Melbourne!
