Yarra River Full Day Kayaking Tour

Spend a full day kayaking on the Yarra River, close to Melbourne, having fun and learning the skills of handling a kayak. The Yarra River offers the right kayaking and canoeing conditions for a fun and exciting day out where participants will learn new skills and work together to successfully complete a river kayaking trip while negotiating grade 1 & 2 rapids.

Your day will begin at 10am at our designated meeting point on the Yarra River. You will be given a group safety briefing before venturing onto the flat water for kayak instruction. You will be shown the basic skills needed to safely navigate down the river, with just enough excitement provided by the Yarra River's rapids to riase your adrenalin levels!

Lunch is a picnic on the riverbank. After lunch we then continue paddling to our finish point, ending the day at about 4:00pm.

All activity equipment is provided and our professional river guides will ensure a fun teambuilding day is had by all. We use a range of different one or two person boats to suit your size.

If you are visiting Melbourne, it's a great way to see some of the great Aussie bushlands and spot some of our wildlife. Sometimes we see koala's, snakes, turtles, fish, bats and always a wide range of birdlife along the river.
