We’re a couple from the UK, and we visited the Melbourne Skydeck at about 1:30 pm on a clear day. The lift is absurd—88 floors in 38 seconds—and suddenly you’re looking down at the whole city. The views were superb in the early afternoon light: the Yarra, the MCG, and the bay in the distance. Inside the observation deck, it was surprisingly quiet compared to the street noise below—no trams, no traffic, just a calm hush. Then you step out onto the outdoor viewing platform and see all that noise happening far below, almost silently. The city becomes a distant hum, and the contrast is striking. We also did the VR theatre. We expected a gimmick, but it was genuinely enjoyable—a fun 11-minute whizz over Victoria. At around $33 each, it’s not cheap, but for UK visitors wanting a proper sense of Melbourne, it was worth it. Book online, go on a clear day, and make time for the outdoor viewing platform. It’s the bit we kept talking about afterwards.

We had a fantastic experience at Melbourne Skydeck! We arrived before sunset and stayed until it got dark, which was absolutely worth it. Watching the sunset over Melbourne, with its modern high-rise buildings and the beautiful Yarra River, was amazing. As night fell, the city lights created an incredible view. The panoramic scenery was stunning, and it was a memorable experience for the whole family. Definitely a must-visit attraction in Melbourne. Highly recommended!

It was a nice relaxing way to see Melbourne from the water, on a beautiful sunny day and the crew we had were very welcoming. Highly recommend doing the 2hr combined river tours.

Cruise through Melbourne's waterfront precincts and then walk to Melbourne Skydeck for skyline views from nearly 300m above the same landmarks.

Melbourne Skydeck: Access the 88th-floor observation deck at Eureka Tower and enjoy panoramic views across Melbourne, the Yarra River, and Port Phillip Bay.

Yarra River Cruise: Choose a 1-hour, 2-hour, Parks & Gardens, or Ports & Docklands cruise, depending on your selected option.

Visit both attractions on the same day for a seamless Southbank experience or schedule them separately to suit your itinerary.

Upgrade your Yarra River Cruise to the 2-hour option and combine the Parks & Gardens and Ports & Docklands routes in one journey.

My visit to Melbourne Skydeck with Headout was a memorable experience from start to finish. What made the visit special was the incredible panoramic view of Melbourne from such a high vantage point. Seeing the city skyline, Yarra River and surrounding areas from above was breathtaking, especially around sunset when the city began to light up. The experience was also smooth and convenient through Headout, making it easy to access the attraction without any unnecessary hassle. The Skydeck itself had a great atmosphere, and the views made it an experience I would definitely recommend to both tourists and locals. Overall, Headout made visiting Melbourne Skydeck simple and enjoyable, while the stunning views created a memorable experience that I’ll remember for a long time.

It was a very lovely experience. I loved how everything looked from the top. The buildings, the lights, the stadium, flinders street station etc. I even saw people playing tennis near the stadium through the binoculars. Edge experience was great too, a pinch of excitement and nervousness.
