Waterbikes Australia's Yarra River tour is a fun and eco-friendly way to see Melbourne from the water. On this 90-minute guided experience you pedal a waterbike, a specially designed bike that moves on the water, along the picturesque Yarra River, with views of the city skyline and iconic landmarks such as the Melbourne Cricket Ground and the Royal Botanic Gardens. No prior experience is needed, so the tour suits beginners, families, couples and solo travellers alike. Your experienced and friendly English-speaking guide shares stories about Melbourne's history and culture along the way and introduces the river's ecosystem, including the birds and fish that call the Yarra home. All waterbike equipment and lifejackets are provided, and you choose an upright or a recumbent waterbike when you book. Tours start from Boathouse Drive in Melbourne. It is a relaxing way to escape the hustle and bustle of the city, get some exercise and enjoy Melbourne from a different perspective.
