Highlights of Melbourne Cruise

Posted By : phx974
Croisière réalisée le 25 juin 2024. Super moment de détente qui permet d'en prendre plein les yeux avec la magnifique skyline de Melbourne. En fait, il s'agit de 2 croisières, une dans chaque sens : la première va vers les jardins et la seconde, vers les docks. Bref, deux points de vue différents et complémentaires, mais qui montrent è quel point Melbourne e est une belle ville, vibrante, dynamique, mais aussi traditionnelle et victorienne ! 2 heures au total (30 minutes de pause, mais on reste dans le bateau).

Really had a great time. The penguins bounced around like schoolchildren. They were so cute would recommend. .

The second hour was more interesting than the first because of the landmarks on that portion of the river. I'd recommend doing the full two hours. The recorded commentary was kind of boring; it would have been much more engaging if it had been delivered by a live person, excited about the city and its history. The option for drinks (especially complimentary coffee and tea) was nice and it was nice that the boat was enclosed since it was quite cold (there was outdoor seating as well, should you prefer).

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..

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