Activity itinerary

We'll start the morning with a guided walk along the scenic Yarra River, winding through bushland trails and quiet riverside paths. Along the way, you'll discover hidden lookouts, local wildlife, and heritage sites that tell the storey of Melbourne's early days. At the end of our journey, we'll take a well-deserved Lunch at the iconic Studley Park Boathouse – a beautiful historic building turned into a peaceful riverside café. You’ll enjoy a relaxing lunch here, with a range of delicious options and the calming view of the river and boats passing by.

Flying Fox Viewing Platform (Pass by)

We’ll pass through one of Australia’s largest urban colonies of flying foxes in their natural habitat. You will encounter up to 50,000 bats alongside the riverbank.

Dight's Falls Reserve (Pass by)

Our journey continues to Dights Falls, a culturally significant site for the Wurundjeri people of the Kulin Nation, where we take a moment to appreciate its deep First Nations heritage, and the evolution of the land throughout the years to our modern society.

To conclude your adventure, enjoy a relaxing lunch at the historic Fairfield Boathouse, a hidden local gem nestled along the riverbank. Soak up the peaceful setting, savour delicious local food, and take in views of the Yarra surrounded by gumtrees and charm.
