Paddle Melbourne’s Yarra River at sunset, enjoy fish and chips on the water, and see Southbank’s lights from a stable kayak.
“Even though the weather could have been better, as it was a bit windy, the whole evening was magical. They guided us to the calmer side of the river, and gave history and stories as we went. Though it said we’d get fish and chips, unless we wanted vegetarian, but they actually gave multiple choices, like grilled fish and salad, and bbq chicken pizza. All the food looked delicious and it was fun to be rafted up together for the meal. Viewing the city as it got dark was so beautiful! Highly recommend, but just know it really is three hours of sitting in a kayak. We were stiff but…”

Review of Phuket’s James Bond Island sunset cruise, with power catamaran comfort, Hong Island canoeing, dinner, timing, value, and practical tips.
