What to expect
You'll meet your guide and collect paddle gear, then launch onto the Yarra for a steady three-hour session. The pace is manageable—this isn't a fitness test, but you'll need moderate fitness and decent cardiovascular health. Midway through, your chosen meal arrives on the water. As dusk settles, the paddling route takes you closer to the city, where streetlights and building facades begin to glow. You'll finish near Princes Bridge with the city fully lit and the river quieter than daytime.
