Very informative cruise along the Yarra River. Thanks for all the information regarding the districts, bridges and buildings alongside the river. We highly recommend sitting inside to listen to the commentary. Free water, coffee and tea included.
The Staff were all great with their hospitality skills, welcoming and friendly and always ready to answer our queries. Staff took time to do a safety briefing and always had customer safety in mind. The cruise itself lasted almost an Hour and I was very impressed with the experience! Complimentary coffee, tea and water and a lovely experience where you could choose to sit outside on the deck area or inside at the tables and chairs. Great Experience! Highly Recommended.

The boat driver had his dog on board and it was really cute, so fun to play with. The cruise allowed me to be very grateful for my city! and experience it in a way I never have before.
First time doing a river cruise and it was so relaxing and we all really enjoyed it! Shame the weather kept tourists away, we had the boat nearly entirely to ourselves! Great commentary, thank you!
Enjoyable cruise, comfortable seating. Easy to book online. Friendly staff. The captain did a fabulous job providing interesting information about the landmarks along the river. There a few chairs available outside at the back. Free coffee, tea. Toilets available. Highly recommended.
