The staff were very professional and helpful. They were very patient as well. I did kayak on other tours before, but none of them took the time to teach me how to do it properly, resulting in early exhaustion. They gave you a quick lesson, so I feel comfortable to enjoy the whole trip. Highly recommend this tour.

We visited Melbourne from the UK to see family and they recommended we did the Twilight Kayak tour. We were a bit unsure as we are both in our late 60's, but decided to go for it ... and so glad we did. The paddling was very relaxed, the tour guides helpful and informative, and of course the views of Melbourne were amazing! Highly recommended, even for old folks!

After a 37 degree day in Melbourne kayaking on the Yarra was a refreshing way to see the sights and cool down.

All of us(x4 from Melbourne) enjoyed the experience. Looking at both banks while in the river is very different to from the land. Tour was well organised. Beautiful Sunset was an extra bonus. Highly recommended!

Our instructor and guide, PJ, was terrific and we enjoyed learning about the early dock area and settlement of Melbourne. Stopping to see the giant Crown Casino fire balls from the water was great fun. Good safety gear is provided and even though it was tricky at first, a beginner can manage this activity. It wasn't overly physical - I wasn't puffing or tired - and the city lights as it turned to evening were a highlight. I'd recommend it as a fun family experience and a different way to see Melbourne.

Great fun. Great kit. Great trip. Thank you. What an incredible way to see Melbourne, the Yarra River and the twilight.
