Kayak Melbourne - Moonlight Kayak Tour
See Melbourne's nightlife from a safe distance while paddling a kayak past bars and under bridges. Stop for a unique 'on water' dinner before powering on like a pro. This Melbourne tour is the perfect combo of action and indulgence.
Your excursion will start in Victoria Harbour - located in the Docklands. After a quick but thorough safety brief that will introduce you to a few paddle techniques, you’ll take to the water and explore the Docklands. This will give you a chance to get acquainted and comfortable with your kayak, and learn a little about this area of Melbourne, too.
Next up it’s time for a bit of dinner, and instead of getting out of your kayak to find food, the food will be bought to you! You’ll enjoy an ‘on water’ dining experience by tucking into some fish and chips right from the comfort of your kayak. As if this tour couldn’t get more unique!
After your meal you’ll continue upstream, under the iconic Bolte Bridge and through to downtown. Row past swanky Crown Casino and alongside stylish Southbank. Paddle by the legendary Flinders Street Railway Station and beneath Princes Bridge before arriving at the approach to Melbourne’s enormous sporting precinct. You will see all these famous landmarks from your kayak, creating a magical evening you won’t forget in a hurry.
The tour will end at the boat landing area in Southgate, right in the heart of Melbourne and directly across from Federation Square. Here your local guide will be able to give you a few tips on where to continue your evening in Melbourne, or can help you arrange transport back to your accommodation.
Melbourne’s Yarra River is an excellent location for novice paddlers to experience kayaking for the first time. No kayaking experience is needed to enjoy the tour and your patient guides will be with you every step of the way. Use of a new fleet of extremely stable Sea Bear sea kayaks, makes the experience even easier for first-time paddlers.
