This was an amazing experience. The dinner was delicious, the staff friendly and attentive. It was already dark when we left, so we probably missed out on some of the scenery, but the night lights were so pretty. The bats were out and we luckily had great weather. 3 hours of very pleasant cruising down the river, would highly recommend to anyone looking for a unique way to see Melbourne while enjoying good food and wine.

Amazing experience! All the crew were very kind. The views around the river are incredible. Good place to enjoy a date or time with the family. The food was delicious and we had free mimosas. Also, you can go outside and to the second floor to enjoy the views. I loved it!

Such a chill way to see Melbourne from the water! The cruise was well-organized, departed on time, and the boat was clean and comfortable. Loved being able to sit outside for fresh air and better views. It’s a great chance to take photos of the city skyline and bridges from a different perspective. Overall, really worth it for the price. I’d come back again with visiting friends.

I loved this experience! Definitely go here if you want a refreshing cruise ride and touring Melbourne through the river. The cruises have recorded narrators for each landmark, and this business also offers dinner cruises. Loved this.
