Great cruise, worth doing. Saw parts of the city you wouldn’t be able to normally. Went on a sunny day as shown in pictures. Would recommend doing the same- everything looks better in the sun! Places to sit inside and outside, although a little crowded outside on the back. Beware if it’s super busy, you might have to be inside.

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.
