great cruise

We did both up and down river cruises, Down river cruise was fantastic with great views of the city and docks etc. The up river cruise had less views. But was informative about the area and all the bridges. If you had to pick only one i would choose down river.. Great family activity.

Melbourne River Cruise - Up & Down

The river cruise was on time and informative, sometimes we were a little ahead of the narration. I found the docklands part more interesting and wished we could have gone a little further down. The worst part was the man sitting behind me with the load voice on his phone for most of the trip - I guess I should have shifted but kept thinking he'd end his call. Nice to have free tea and coffee, our weather was good so all in all a worthwhile thing to do in Melbourne.

Melbourne River Cruise

Not what I was looking for. Very disappointed. Most of the sites could not really been seen due to obstructions in the way and very short.

The 2.5 hr trip up and down river by Flinders Stn

Thoroughly enjoyed the trip but was disappointed to find a point in the middle where we were offloaded in the rain and told to come back in half an hour to continue.
