The experience itself was absolutely incredible! The little penguins were incredibly cute and we were very lucky with the weather so outstanding. Having said that, the tickets experience can be improved. We had to chase our tickets and were only emailed them ah hour before the experience and only because we chased. I'm sure you guys can do better than that.

Despite the reconstruction work taking place at the time I found that access to most of what I wanted to see and experience was retained. The staff were knowledgeable and friendly. I would venture one suggestion : keep the different age sectors in mind when booking tickers, not everyone is tech savvy.

It was a first time experience on Yarra river cruise. It was satisfactory. No complaints. The cruise information display was lacking at the jetty pick up point. It could be corrected.
