This is a great activity. I visited with my 8 year old, who absolutely loved the view and the badge making activity. All of the staff were excellent.

Easy to find and the two attractions were close together which made it easy for my elderly Dad. Commentary on the river boat was great

Informative journey upstream, but disappointing that we couldn't go downstream because of tidal issues . However, half the costs were refunded with very little hassle.

    • Save on Melbourne's best views: from 300m high atop the Melbourne Skydeck while leisurely cruising the Yarra River for 1-2 hours.

    • Get to the highest observation deck in the southern hemisphere. Do it in style, by riding the fastest elevator in the southern hemisphere.

    • Enjoy stunning 360°views of Melbourne spotting iconic landmarks. Spot them again as you sail the Yarra River for 1 or 2 hours (you choose).

    • Say hello to Herring Island, Federation Square, Royal Botanic Gardens, etc. Opt to greet major ports and docklands as well by upgrading your tour.

    • Fun fact: Ancient Chinese rever 88 as an auspicious number. The Skydeck sits on the 88th floor, wishing happiness and luck to everyone visiting!

    Although it is advertised as a 2 hour cruise it is basically a 20 min ride away from your starting point, turn around, go back, drop off passengers, pick up more then go 20 min in the opposite direction. There was at least 35min of not moving.

    Excellent customer service Commentary was good and gave account of the history of Melbourne and Yara river Historical monuments and nice nature

  • Right up in the skies: Melbourne Skydeck

    Zoom right up in the world's fastest elevators, soaking in just how stunning the Eureka Tower is. Step out on the 88th floor, 300m high above the ground, leaving any worry behind. Your eyes (and camera) are in for a treat – Melbourne is spectacular from the skies.

    Enjoy uninterrupted views of the MCG, Federation Square, Dandenong Ranges, and other beautiful landmarks. Use the viewfinders to make sure you miss none of it. Feeling adventurous? Head to the Edge to see what it's like to be projecting out of a skyscraper, check out the Voyager Theatre, or wobble above the city on a VR plank experience.

    A cruise to remember feat Yarra River

    You'll see why rivers have songs written about them, as you sail the Yarra River on a comfortable ship. If you select the 1-hour cruise, you'll enjoy stunning views of the Federation Square, Government House, Royal Botanic Gardens, world-famous sporting arenas including the Melbourne Cricket Ground, and more.

    Sadly, you'll not be waving hi to Polly Woodside – a 19th-century sailing ship, the Bolte Bridge and Westgate Bridge, or the shipping channels, dock area, etc. But with the 2-hour cruise, you'll get to see all these cool spots and more, as you go upstream and downstream.
