Traveler reviews
Relaxing and informative cruise
Relaxing and informative trip. We did the 2 hours which is extensive and shows you a lot of the history and riverside development of the city. Hot beverage included with other drinks available to buy.
Great way to see the city from the Yarra.
Safe and well skippered boat. The guide info is pre recorded but informative… it was great to go up and downstream. Boat was large and bright.
Just okay
This is just an okay experience in Melbourne. The narration is recorded and often hard to understand with people on the boat chatting and moving about, so not as educational as much as a cruise on the river. The many bridges have lots of graffiti, so a little sad. Keep in mind, the 2 hour option, which takes you upriver for an hour, then down river for another hour, included 1/2 hour break between, and you are asked to disembark the boat.
Yaar ,must to Yaara !
What a beautiful Sunny Melbourne Day to do this cruise .A good two hours invested upstream and downstream.Had a good time and clicked sone lovely skylines and river views
Perfect day
Sit back and relax. Take in all the wonderful views along the way with the commentary and get educated.
