Up the Creek

  • Sport
  • Tour

Up the Creek run two-hour canoe tours along the Yarra River.

Melbourne’s Birrarung (Yarra) is an excellent location to experience paddling for the first time, or for experienced paddlers to enjoy a paddle through Melbourne’s scenic waterway.

You'll canoe past Crown Casino and alongside Southbank, continue back past Flinders Street Railway Station and beneath historic Princes Bridge before returning to your starting point of Alexandra Gardens. No experience is needed and all paddling gear is included, as well as a guide in an adjacent canoe.

They also offer 30-minute sunrise and sunset canoe trips.
