    We did the sunset cruise last night and we knew the sun was setting but you don't actually see the sunset, hence more of a twilight cruise. We were late in leaving because some passengers did not turn up and they were waiting for them. The cruise itself and the commentary were ok but the last 20 minutes or so were a waste of time because it was in the dark and you couldn't see anything. The cruise should have turned around after seeing the sporting stadiums and heading back to the dock.

    Beautiful sight seeing and thats about it. The most fun part about the boat was sitting out the back looking at the beautiful city. No music or dancing, everyone looking at each other like this is the most boring thing I've spent money on, kids getting agitated Most boring 3 hours of my life honestly couldn’t wait to get of. Staff don't serve you drinks unless you ask only the first drink, captain was rude told us to slow down on drinking before even getting on (funny that because we hadn’t had a drop of alcohol) food was okay probably the best part about it. Alcohol seems to be watered down. Honestly wouldn’t waste my money again on something this boring, will definitely be looking at another boat with some kind of entertainment! Really upsetting that I wasted $300 which was supposed to be a birthday present for my mum! If your over 70 this boat is probably suitable for you.

    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 👍
