Just a simple but nice way to spend an hour. We arrived that day and this cruise was such a chill way to see some of Melbourne and relax. They had a great music playlist so was fun. Informative and friendly.

Commentary issues

Mary_G, Jun 2026

Boat engine noise drowned out the limited commentary. It could have been a much more interesting tour with additional audible commentary.

Great guide. Excellent info. Do not make me add a minimum number of characters. That’s just dumb and limits participation.

Perfect way to relax and take in the sights

Relaxing River Cruise

Beth_T, Jan 2026

The river cruise was excellent. The information provided, while cruising the river, was informative and helpful in learning about Melbourne.

An enjoyable Yarra tour.

The tour was informative and best suited to new visitors to Melbourne. The boat seating was comfortable although were movable plastic chairs. Overall a good experience.
