    Such an amazing experience! Suitable for the whole family to enjoy. My kiddies were so excited seeing the penguins group together and start waddling to their burrows! The staff were amazing at describing what we were going to experience. I'll absolutely be back.

    It's really cute. Having been on other Yarra boat tours, I wasn't a big fan of the pre recorded speech about the sights we were looking at; but otherwise it's an extremely cute hour that's more than just learning and viewing

    I booked a ferry river cruise from Melbourne Southgate to Williamstown. I absolutely loved it. Definitely recommend if you want to soak up some sunshine and enjoy splashes of water all while travelling to Williamstown, which was amazing too! The ferrymen were welcoming and friendly as well.

    The cruise was great! There was a little bit of rain but the boat was covered and that did jot affect us that much. The scenary was beautiful and we got to see a few wildlife as well. Well worth the price. Coffee and cake were delicious too!

    I visited SEA LIFE Melbourne Aquarium with my family, and it was our very first time there — and also our first time being together in Australia. It turned into such a special day for all of us. The exhibits were beautiful, the staff were friendly, and everything was easy to navigate as a family. The highlight for us was definitely the penguins. Watching them up close was magical and made the whole experience unforgettable. My family absolutely loved it, and it was the perfect way to celebrate being reunited. Highly recommend for families, first-time visitors, and anyone looking for a memorable day out in Melbourne.
