What a fantastic way to see some of the sights in Melbourne, the cruise was so much fun! Staff are friendly, hospitable, complimentary refreshments onboard and a nice little bar add to the whole experience. The views of the whole city in summer were great and the information on each spot were fun as well! Be advised, go to back of the boat as indoors you won’t see that much. So step out, enjoy beautiful Melbourne and support local businesses😊
Kind, caring, professional staff. The captain has a good sense of spontaneous humour! They serve drinks as well onboard. It has been an insightful and pleasant 1 hour boat trip. Thank you team!!
Absolutely fantastic way to dive into Melbourne! The ongoing commentary adds such a cool vibe. Love that coffee and teas are part of the ticket – a real treat. Plus, the option to order drinks from the bar? Brilliant! The staff is super friendly – a big thumbs up. Totally recommend! 😊☕🌆
Had an amazing time. Good boat, friendly staff and amazing views. Price is very reasonable as well compared to others. Highly recommended.
As a historian this was an amazing experience. The Captain's information was presented in a really interesting way. As a person on holidays with a few hours to spare I went upriver and then down river and highly recommend the voyage with the intrepid Captain Lex and First Mate Mona also a Captain in her own right. Enjoy the river cruise.
