Itinerary:

Climb aboard a kayak to discover a new perspective of Melbourne while paddling along the Docklands waterways on a Melbourne kayak tour. This is Melbourne’s newest waterside suburb, made up of impressive architectural structures and a cutting edge business park, and there’s no better way to explore it all than on the water.

We set off from the docks of Victoria Harbour Promenade where you’ll get a lesson in the basics of paddling and get acquainted with your new state-of-the-art sea kayak. Paddle along the river, enjoying panoramic views of the city skyline while passing the beautiful yachts and marinas that dot Victoria Harbour.

Our Melbourne tour continues along the waterways, passing some of the city’s landmark buildings, including Etihad Stadium, before pulling over to savour a fish and chips dinner on the waterfront. Enjoy the feast from the best seat in the house - your own kayak – while soaking up this unique view of the city. With full tummies continue on the adventure, paddling under the impressive Bolte Bridge and further along the Yarra.

As the sun begins to sink heavy in the sky, turn around and head back towards the docklands, facing the picture postcard view of the Melbourne skyline. Look from the landmarks from this new perspective and appreciate the panoramic beauty of the city as we complete our ultimate Melbourne day tour experience!
