Pedal through the vibrant arteries of Melbourne's waterways, capturing stunning views of iconic landmarks, bridges, and the dynamic urban tapestry that lines the Yarra's banks. Our route masterfully combines the lush green pockets of the Yarra with the urban splendor of Melbourne. Feel the gentle river breeze and soak in the city's ambiance in one seamless journey. With our waterbikes, you're not just exploring the river but also doing it responsibly.

Wonderful experience!

Published on Feb, 2025

Mark is great. Advice to other tourists: if weather not suitable, ask if time change is possible. They are always very accomodating. My friend and I had a lovely time, guided by Mark along the Yarra River. He has been patient in explaining how the water bikes work, and showing us the Melbourne landmarks. While we’re cycling on the water, he took multiple photos of us at different spots - making this trip even more memorable. I highly recommend Waterbikes Australia for a relaxing bike cruise around the Yarra river, as well as getting Mark as your guide. On a final note, my advice to others booking the tour is: always check the weather and if it looks unfavourable at the timing you’ve booked, you could try requesting for a time change. They’re very accomodating and won’t hesitate to fit you in if they can.

Nice sunny ride on the Yarra river

Published on Feb, 2025

This river offers an excellent viewpoint to see all the sites in the Southbank. Our hosts were awesome! They emailed us all the best pictures - for free! The bike is easy to pedal but the seat is a bit uncomfortable.

Unreal!
