Great fun!
What a wonderful way to experience Melbourne and the Yarra River. Mark and Laurie were great guides, and the bikes were stable and easy to use. It was very cool to watch the gas brigade show from the water. I would absolutely do this activity again the next time I'm in Melbourne.

A Magical Start to 2026 – Unforgettable Twilight Water Bike Tour on the Yarra!
What an incredible way to welcome the New Year! As the sun set on the first day of 2026, we embarked on our very first water bike twilight tour; a thoughtful Christmas gift from our daughter. From the moment we arrived, our wonderful guides, Laury and Mark, made us feel so welcome. After a friendly introduction, they talked us through the itinerary and safety instructions, and before we knew it, we were gliding down the Yarra River.
The pace was perfect, relaxed and enjoyable, allowing us to soak in the magical atmosphere as Laury pointed out landmarks and shared fascinating stories about Melbourne’s history. There were four of us at the start, and we picked up three more as we headed toward Southbank, passing Rod Laver Arena and the city skyline shimmering in the evening light.
The night was simply stunning: a gentle breeze, the soft glow of sunset over the river, and the sparkling city lights creating a picture-perfect backdrop. Halfway through, Mark joined us, and together we pedalled under Princes Bridge and along to the Ferris Wheel before returning to watch the Fire Show. The view from the water was absolutely spectacular! A truly unforgettable perspective of the show, and of the city!
The 90 minutes flew by far too quickly. Pedalling was easy and comfortable, making it suitable for all ages and fitness levels. We were the eldest couple on the tour, with others in their twenties through forties, and everyone was clearly having a wonderful time.
We absolutely loved every moment and can’t recommend this experience highly enough. If you’re looking for a unique, fun, and breathtaking way to see Melbourne, this twilight water bike tour is an absolute must! We will definitely be back for another tour when we return to Melbourne. FIVE STARS!!

My guide was really nice. The Yarra River looked stunning at dusk. An hour-long tour was perfect to catch all the beautiful sights.）

Thanks for sharing your experience! We’re so glad you felt the Twilight Tour was worth it—there really is something magical about the Yarra River as the sun starts to set.
It’s great to hear that our guide took good care of you and that the hour-long session was the perfect amount of time to soak in those city sights. We think the skyline looks its absolute best at dusk, so we're thrilled you got to witness it from the water!
