Description:

Witness the charming metropolis of Melbourne from the water—and the sky—with a kayak tour of the Yarra River that ends with a trip up to Skydeck 88. Skim through the channel past the city's top landmarks before venturing high above Melbourne to fill in the sparkling night skyline.

Meet your guide by the shores of Victoria Harbour for a brief safety lesson before you climb into your boat and paddle out for open waters. Practice your stroke, and after splashing up an appetite, enjoy a delicious (on-water) dinner of fish and chips.

With your stomach full, steer upstream to see Melbourne light up at night. Float under Bolte Bridge towards downtown as you pass the glittering tower of the Crown Casino and the skyscrapers of lux Southbank. Marvel at the domes of Flinders Street Railway Station before you drift beneath Princess Bridge.

Then dock your kayak and follow your guide to Skydeck 88—the highest public vantage point in the Southern hemisphere—at Eureka Tower. Offering unparalleled views of Melbourne’s grandeur, gaze down at your recent river route, look over Port Phillip Bay, and even admire the distant Dandenong Ranges.

True daredevils can confront ‘The Edge,’ a glass cube, fully projected from the building and suspended more than 984 feet (300 m) above ground. Curb any vertigo with a return to ground-level, and conclude your fantastic sea-to-sky Melbourne feat.
