Since we will be spending a lot more time exploring our hometown of Melbourne we’ve found the perfect tour to explore a few of Melbournes’ hot spots plus have memories that we can take home. Viator have tours to suit everyone with experiences at Queen Vic Market, exploring St Kilda and even going further afield within Victoria to destinations like Phillip Island or Sovereign Hill. Looking through Viators many tours we chose the ” Melbourne with a photographer” session which took us for two hours through Melbournes famous street art laneways, churches and gardens. Currently due to the Covid 19 Pandemic some tours may be affected so check the information on the Viator website for the most up to date information.

The kids had to come in their bathers ( both kids wore a rashvest under their wetsuit ) and were fitted for a long leg and arm wetsuit,( steamer) booties, rash-vest ( blue to wear over the top to be clearly visible) and a helmet. The instructors knew all the kids names within a few moments and connected well with all the kids. kids were able to set their own goals after day 2 with wanting to stand more fluidly, to standing for longer to catching the wave without help. The Surf Groms program is sponsored by Nudie and Rip Curl and the kids get a surf backpack, rash vest, cap and a nudie juice to start the course.
