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.

Meandering along the Yarra River and gaining some knowledge about the flora and culture of the First Custodians of our land the Ngunnawal People. Followed by learning the history of the bridge designed by Monash and discovering the Monash University was designed by him. Finding out the Yarra River could rise to 14 metres during a rise in rain fall. Enjoying a cup of tea on the Melbourne river cruise,on a freezing, rainy and windy day in Melbourne and finally spending time creating memories with my husband.
