2-Hour Self-Drive Boat Hire on the Yarra River

A 2-hour self-drive on the Yarra River for up to 10 people with no licence required. You pilot the Harvey A, a private vessel equipped with fridge, stereo and table settings, past Melbourne's landmarks including the Botanical Gardens, MCG, Southbank and Docklands. Choose morning, lunch or afternoon slots. Bring your own food and drinks to make it a picnic or celebration on the water.

Phillip Island: High-Speed Sea Caves Boat Tour, Cape Woolamai

A 30-minute high-speed boat tour aboard a Thundercat catamaran along Cape Woolamai's rugged coastline, just 1.5 hours from Melbourne. You'll reach sea caves, granite quarries and Bird Rock by water — places inaccessible on foot — with live commentary from your captain. The boat's design keeps you dry despite the speed, and your captain adjusts intensity to match your group's comfort level, making it work equally well for adrenaline seekers and nervous first-timers.

Melbourne Sunset Kayaking Experience with Dinner

A 3-hour sunset kayak on the Yarra River with a three-course dinner served on the water, paddling past Victoria Harbour, Southbank, and Crown Casino as Melbourne's city lights come on. You'll need moderate fitness, a guide leads the trip, and you choose your meal ahead of time from eight options including fish, pasta, pizza, and vegetarian dishes. Finishes near Princes Bridge in the city centre.

Melbourne City Sights Kayak Tour

A 1 hour 45 minute kayak tour that takes you along Melbourne's waterways to view the city's landmarks from water level. You'll paddle past iconic sights with a guide who'll teach you the basics, and all equipment is provided. It's a moderate-intensity outing suited to anyone with reasonable fitness who wants a different angle on the city's architecture and geography.

Bottomless Brunch Afloat in Melbourne

A 2-hour brunch cruise on the Yarra River featuring unlimited alcoholic beverages, food, and hot drinks. You'll board in central Melbourne and float past the city's landmarks while eating and drinking — a straightforward alternative to a stationary brunch venue, best suited to groups after a social, boozy experience rather than a guided sightseeing tour.

Private Romantic Melbourne Dinner Cruise for 2

A private 90-minute dinner cruise for two on the Yarra River, with a three-course meal from a local restaurant and drinks included. You'll board a dedicated vessel, dine as a couple while the city passes by, and have the boat to yourselves—no shared tables or group atmosphere. Ideal for anniversaries, proposals, or a special evening out without the fuss of a restaurant reservation.

Shark Dive Experience at SEA LIFE Melbourne Aquarium

A 90-minute scuba dive inside SEA LIFE Melbourne Aquarium's main tank where you'll swim alongside blacktip reef sharks, sandbar whalers, sawfish, rays, groupers and cod. Suited to certified divers aged 14+ with solid fitness and no diving contraindications. You're guaranteed close encounters — the aquarium's controlled environment means predictable shark activity and manageable visibility, unlike open-water dives.
