Probably would be nice in good weather, but not worth it in the winter if it is cold and/or rainy. Only 1 heater in the back that didn’t do anything. And because it was raining, we couldn’t see out the window. Wish they would have something to clean the side windows like they did the front window during the tour. Also, the commentary was okay. It was pre recorded but it would have been nice to have a live tour guide.

Was a 2hr cruise, broken with a 30min interval between going upriver then downriver. Would have to say there is not that much detail to see from the boat, e.g. botanical gardens so mostly we found the understanding of the different areas of the city useful for subsequent walking around and also some of Melbournes history. The commentary is recorded, so lacks some kind of character often experienced with live guides. The seats are not built in to the boat, they are cheap chairs placed within the boat. There is a bar onboard and complimentary tea/coffee. Price seems a little high for the actual experience.

Captain Michael and First Mate Cameron were marvellous hosts. We learnt much of the history of the Yarra River and surroundings particularly the beautiful bridges which grace the water. Saw lots of sights one never sees when driving alongside the River - all so fascinating. Even going downstream towards the docks was such an eye opener. We can thoroughly recommend the two hour tour to everyone

Took Skydeck from Airport to CBD area. Very convenient, just scan QR code and you're ready to board the double deck bus. It's about 20mins or so ride, sightseeing their city area. It's walking distance to our airBNB apartment, pretty much convenient with luggage and all..

Great trip up and down the river. Some great sights and excellent narrating and service by staff. Will recommend.

Michelle_W

The audio detailing the sights was very informative. The boat was comfortable and sights amazing. Worth it.

The CBD part was good and fascinating to see how the bridges are!! Good crew but please turn down the music as it ruined the experience.

Having the perspective of seeing the city from the water in the afternoon was fantastic - especially after doing a bit into bus tour in the morning.

Mazza_P

Just seeing Melbourne from the river and hearing the commentary as we went.It was a grat experience.

Priya_K

The cruise was a pleasant experience. The commentary gave a good amount of information. Somehow it was a bit dull and my teen son didn’t enjoy it much. May be it’s not for teen age children.
