I recently joined this kayaking tour with my sister and wanted to express our heartfelt appreciation for the wonderful experience. The instructor was fantastic, providing us with insightful background stories that deepened our understanding of the sights along the route. The views from the river to the shore were absolutely spectacular, and we truly enjoyed every moment of the trip. We will definitely recommend this tour to our friends and family.

It was a fabulous experience! My first time to do this and it was really fun and relaxing! You have the autonomy with your own water bike so you would feel like riding your own boat : ) The instructors were very friendly and helpful, and introduced the iconic landmarks to us during the water bike ride. I highly recommend this to anyone who visit Melbourne (even if you’re not a confident swimmer you’ll be fine with this one : )

This tour is so worth the money! Mark was an excellent guide who gave us a lot of trivia about Melbourne, Yarra Valley, and notable spots along the tour. He also made sure to get the guests as comfortable as possible with him, the stops, and each other. The trip includes a stop at the Strawberry Farm, cheese tasting at the Coldstream, a stop at Chandon, wine tasting at Yering, and chocolate tasting at Chocolaterie. All the tastings are included in the package but Mark got us something to share at the Strawberry Farm and Chandon, so each stop was really exciting. On the way home, we made stops to see some bats and kangaroos from the van. This is a well-planned, great value-for-money, lesiurely yet activity-filled tour.

From the moment we hopped on the bus, our host Possy set the tone for an incredible afternoon. He was everything you'd want in a guide - amazingly engaging, super knowledgeable, effortlessly funny, and full of genuine passion for the region. You don't just learn about wine with him... you feel the story behind every vineyard. The 12pm start time was perfect - we got to enjoy a slow, relaxing morning before diving into the adventure. And what an adventure it was! We visited three stunning vineyards, each offering exceptional wines that surprised us in the best way. Every tasting felt curated, personal, and memorable. This tour delivered beyond expectations - great wines, breathtaking views, and a host who truly made the experience special. If you're visiting Melbourne, do yourself a favour and book this. It's simply outstanding!
