5.00While leading this 2hour session, Adam provided all in the group with a wonderful overview of the history and environment of this stretch of the Yarra, from its significance to the local indigenous people through to the present day. He was careful in preparing all for this kayaking experience and supportive of those not as adept with their technique.

5.00The tour was extremely well organized. We went up river as a group in double kayaks under about five or six bridges. Along the way we had commentary about the city and historical sites. I left my iPhone in my PFE and the guys were fantastic at coordinating with me to enable me to pick it up. A first class act.
Well worth it :)
