Try it or regret it - Absolutely fun. A lot of arm workout for me personally but thanks to the our thoughtful tour guide, Andrew, who let me hitch a ride when I needed a break. Definitely worth the view, the adventure and laughter. The perfect activity for anyone whether if you are looking for peacefulness, action or team building.

Highly recommended - Absolutely fun from beginning to end. A gem of a find of things to do in Melbourne. Andy and Jen were great. Experienced guides, generous with their time, would have no hesitation to recommend them and would like to book another trip.

Fun N.Y. Day river trip - Thanks to Andy for guiding our diverse group down the not so treacherous Yarra rapids! A great little trip with lovely fresh fruit snacks and salad wraps at lunch. :-)) Somehow he managed to get some good video shots while assisting us to negotiate some of the narrower bits - thanks Andy. In particular, thanks for towing Grandma and Grandad for a short stretch to give us a rest, even though we didn't really need it - we were just taking advantage of his kind offer! A thoroughly enjoyable trip that was very professionally run in an extremely friendly way.

Fantastic kayaking experience - We had a great time paddling along the Yarra river. The rapids were fun, but not too intense. Lovely scenery with some interesting facts from our guide. Andrew was relaxed but in control, with a great sense of humour. I thought his instructions at the beginning of the morning were really useful and informative. Would highly recommend this trip!

Raft in Yarra Ranges with Warrendyte Adventure Tours! - Such a fun day out, we booked last minute as wanted to explore the Yarra Ranges and Yarra River. Jen & Andrew were so accommodating and easiest to book and pay direct with them! Fantastic day rafting, really enjoyed Andrews’s knowledge of the flora and fauna of the area, reaching us all the paddle techniques and my teens (13 & 15) could go solo in their own raft which was very cool. Fantastic family day out! Highly recommend this trip with Warrandyte Adventure Tours!
