Don’t do it

This is so boring you hardly see anything Not worth the time or money Chairs are uncomfortable and the “gardens are very hard to see from the river

Experience was good but need a message displayed on the ferry for crowd to stay silent and enjoy the serenity. Irritating family made lots of loud noise disturbed all on-board

Relaxing cruise

This was a lovely, relaxing cruise. We took the 4pm cruise and saw a beautiful sunset over the Melbourne CBD. The meeting point for the cruise was easy to find and close to other tourist attractions. We really enjoyed the cruise.

Melbourne River Cruise

Difficult to view highlighted sites due to over growth of vegetation. Audio not as clear as it could have been.

Average

Was expensive for what it was. Wasnt expecting pre-recorded voice over. Hosts were nice enough but didnt seem super interested, mum is on crotches and didnt offer to help or anything.

Alright experience

The upstream boat ride was less fascinating than expected. A lovley way to calm down and relax from the busy city surrounding. Lovley staff and interesting commentary.
