They were great conversationalists, were full of knowledge of Melbourne, and were also very concious of our safety.

5.00My niece who lives in Oz challenged me to find something ‘touristy’ she’d never done! This activity fitted that challenge and was better than expected! It was brilliant from start to finish (we did 90 mins) The bikes were easy to peddle and the sights were phenomenal from upon the water! Would a thousand per cent recommend x
Great fun

5.00Great fun option to tour the CBD in Melbourne. Mark pointed out all the important sites along the Yarra River, and told us the history of the city's growth. Fun and easy recumbent bike, comfortable seat and easy to maneuver. Book it, you won't regret it!
Wonderful experience!

5.00Mark 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

5.00This 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!
