The captain was great; friendly and very competent. The tour down stream was fabulous. Lots to see! The trip upstream was ok but not really worth the time or money.

My granddaughter had a voucher she wished to utilise on a Yarra cruise. The cruise was well patronised and the driver's commentary was excellent. The voucher was not recognised in the on line booking system and neither was my senior's card so that was costly and disappointing. Having promised this holiday treat, I delivered and enjoyed our outing together.
