FANTASTIC, we had been meaning to do this for awhile now and so glad we did. Such a surprise and the guys on board were so friendly and informative. I would really recommend this this everyone that visits Melbourne as you see a very different side, which is spectacular. Well done guys and I’ll be telling all my friends in Geelong about the river cruise 👍

A great journey on the Yarra river
