What to expect
You'll meet at the riverside launch point and be fitted with a kayak and personal flotation device. The guide leads a steady pace downstream and back, timed to catch the transition from daylight to city lights. The route stays within the inner loop, passing under several bridges and past riverside precincts. Water conditions are typically calm. Expect gentle paddling rather than exertion; the focus is on scenery and atmosphere. You'll return to base with time to rinse off and change before heading elsewhere.
Good to know
Public transport stops are within walking distance. Bring a towel or use provided facilities. The experience runs year-round; summer twilight starts later (around 8pm) than winter (around 5pm). No previous kayaking experience needed.
