We booked the Yarra River Kayak Hire (Double Kayak / 2 People) for $95. The meeting location is in Hawthorn, where you are taken to the Yarra River and prepped for the paddling. It takes approximately 3 hours, so prepare yourself. Make sure you wear clothes you are okay with them getting wet. Bring a hat, sunscreen, and a water bottle. The hire includes one small dry bag for your stuff. It's an enjoyable experience, and you will get to paddle upstream and downstream. There will be moments where you will just listen to the wind & birds. So surreal!

Such a fantastic and unique experience. Highly recommend to anyone wanting a different view of the Yarra and Melbourne city. We were a group of 6 people (3 x double canoes) - very easy going even with no previous canoeing experience, and the canoes are extremely stable. Thanks Dave and team.
