Beautiful City Views at Twilight

Amazing experience! Guides Alex, Daniel and Charlie were fantastic – friendly, knowledgeable and made us feel safe. Loved seeing the city from the water at twilight and hearing fun local tips. A must-do, even for locals!

AMAZING experience!

Alai 11 November 2024

This experience was AMAZING and so worthwhile!! Seeing the sun go down while Melbourne started to illuminate as the night settled was quite magical! I actually didn’t want to do it because we have gone kayaking several times and in several places, but my husband insisted and I appreciate it because it was one of the best things we did during our trip in Australia! The guides were very nice and dinner had great options to choose from! I totally recommend this experience to everybody!

sunset activity to enjoy city sights & lights

Jennifer 1 March 2024

Really enjoyed the kayaking activity with my son. We rode a double kayak down the Yarra River from Docklands to Flinders Station. Our guide Austin and Imad are very helpful, friendly and informative with info about the sights along the way. Really enjoyed it!

Magical experience

Ssu 26 February 2024

I purchased this tour as a gift for my friend and myself. We had a fantastic time together, especially seeing Melbourne in different lights from dusk to nightfall. I had no kayak experience beforehand but the instructions were clear and the tour was very well-guided. I felt quite safe and was able to enjoy myself. It's a magical experience combining Yarra River, sunset, companion, exercise and the beauty of Melbourne City. It's worth every penny and I would recommend the tour to either locals or people visiting the city.

A whole new perspective of Melbourne

Patrick 18 February 2024

Matt and Austin were great instructors and guides on this Moonlit Melbourne City Kayak. The city at night was spectacular and made more interesting with Matt's commentary on the history of the city - as a Melbournian some of his insights were new to me. The kayaks were easy to use and the dinner a welcomed break. Just do it!

Lucinda 18 January 2024

What a stunning way to see the city at dusk, with a guided tour of the waterways of Melbourne. Well organised, delicious dinner in your kayak and such a fun experience! Thanks Melbourne Kayaks for your professional yet fun and down to earth service. Will definitely do it again!!

This Tour Will Float Your Boat!

Simone 8 January 2024

Had a fabulous time on the water. Our guide was very knowledgeable (if a little lacking in volume). Dinner was sufficient. Overall, the experience was fantastic and made me happy! :) In fact, all of this (almost) made me forget about the apparent disorganization at the beginning of this experience (hence the loss of 1 star). Do I want to go kayaking again? For shore.

A bucket list item marked off

Kirsten 7 January 2024

Have wanted to try this experience for the longest time and it didn’t disappoint. We had perfect weather on our warm summer evening so it was quite comfortable on the water. Had a delicious pizza included on our rest stop too. Have lived in Melbourne my whole life but managed to learn a few new interesting facts from our guide. A great voucher idea for people who enjoy being active and in the outdoors!
