    We loved this alternative perspective of Melbourne with fascinating commentary about the bridges and the surrounding landscape. The crew were friendly and professional, the complimentary tea and coffee very welcome and the weather was idillic. A definite must for those who just want to sit back, relax and soak up the atmosphere and scenery on the riverbank. Perfect two hours spent in Melbourne, thank you.

This area is a bit noisy due to the engine exhaust and can smell of exhaust if the wind direction is wrong. There are toilets onboard and drinks like coffee can be purchased.
