Easy and quick ticketing process. Friendly staff member, Fay. Boat comfortable and commentary was excellent. Crew on boat, Michael the pilot and his assistant, were efficient and friendly. I did the 2 hour cruise and thoroughly enjoyed my experience.

Great experience. Commentary along the way. Which is very helpful. Booked via klook app. Upon request cruise company changed the booking. I appreciate the help. Weather is all over the shop in Melbourne. Be prepared for 4 seasons in a day. Must do guys

We were lucky to get a sunny day and the cruising was beautiful. The boat goes down river for an hour, then up river - so you can have a 1 or 2 hour cruise in whichever direction you want. The commentary is a recording (and was very good) but the Captain will jump in when he wants, and he was very informative. Can’t say much for the other guy - zero personality and barely even spoke, even when spoken to. We were lucky enough to catch a ship being piloted out, it stopped us from going the usual distance as the ship had precedence in the river, but it was a great view, and the Captain gave us a great commentary on the whole process.

Meeting point in front of Southgate mall. River cruise took me to a different scenery from the city. Viewing from the cruise allows me to see the way the locals live. We can see people running, kayaking or strolling. Very refreshing.

It’s nice to unwind and relax and go alone but it’s not really thaaat interesting. If I would be a tourist I would not spend money on doing this activity. There are better stuff to see and do in the city. Just enjoy the Yarra looking at it from the bridge! That would be my cheap and humble opinion. These are like the most beautiful views I have got
