Yarra River Kayaking

Melbourne from a different angle

Sea Kayaks are the perfect way to see the city differently!

Our Yarra River Tour runs downriver and begins at the front of the Rowing Boat Sheds to the east of Princes Bridge. Following our safety briefing, we will paddle paste Southgate's thriving restaurant and cafe precinct and discover the path of the early pioneers as we explore the Docklands precinct. The tour then takes us under the Westgate Bridge where you will understand the enormity of the construction before stopping off for refreshments at Docklands. We then return at dusk to our starting point.


  • Session 1 - Briefing on the Day's Tour
  • Session 2 - Basic Instruction on how the sea kayaks work, how to paddle and a basic skills session.
