Yarra River Waterbike Tour

This is a guided river tour on a waterbike, giving you a different way to see Melbourne from the Yarra. Instead of sitting on a cruise boat, you pedal across the water with open views in all directions, passing city landmarks, bridges and greener stretches along the river. It is a more active sightseeing option, but the tour is listed as suitable for all physical fitness levels and includes a lifejacket.

You will head out onto the Yarra on a waterbike and follow a route that mixes Melbourne's urban waterfront with quieter green sections of the river. Along the way, expect clear views of the skyline, bridges and the changing scenery along the banks. The elevated position on the bike makes it easy to take photos as you go, and you may also spot river wildlife. Public transport is available nearby, which makes getting there fairly straightforward.
