Unfortunately the wrong date was given should have been the 22nd August or I didn't notice the date at time of booking was different to what I originally had put in. So sorry I can't give a review.
This river cruise was so relaxing and informative. We loved it. The Yarra river has a rich history as do the bridges and buildings around it! We arrived back just on dusk with the lights reflecting on the water. It was so pretty. We then had dinner and drinks in the Southgate shopping district! Perfect end to a wonderful day!
This was an informative 2-hour cruise upstream and downstream with a 30 minute break in between the two cruises. It was very pleasant with a friendly, capable captain and assistant. Many famous landmarks of Melbourne were pointed out as was much of Melbourne's early history. As a former Melburnian for over 40 years, I learnt quite an amount about early Melbourne. It was reasonably priced with tea and coffee included.
Good view of Melbourne, while relaxing.
Thank you for your lovely review! 🚢 We're so pleased to hear you enjoyed a relaxing cruise and the beautiful views of Melbourne from the Yarra! 🌇 We appreciate your support and hope to welcome you back on board again soon! 💙✨
Fabulous even in the winter cold! The Skipper and Deckhand were so friendly. Definitely should be on your list of things to do.
Very nice trip. The down stream was a bit more interesting . Would recommend both. Cup of tea in a cold day very welcome too
Great experience. got to experience the CBD view and commentary about the history of the buildings and place.
It’s okay. Lots of time spent mooring up to collect and drop people off. Better down to the port than upstream.
Great commentary, good company of Grant and Annie. Free tea and coffee. A biscuit would have been nice.
Great commentary on the sights you see as you travel up the river. However due to a high tide we were not able to go down river
