The ride was excellent seeing views of Melbourne city from the top deck of a double-decker bus. Having pre-purchased my ticket on line, made catching the bus easier. Buses departed every 10 minutes so didn't have to wait long and they even have racks to store bulky luggage items.

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.

My trip to Melbourne SEA LIFE was absolutely amazing and unforgettable. From the moment I walked inside, I felt like I had entered a whole new underwater world. The lighting, the calming sounds, and the huge tanks immediately captured my attention. I was fascinated by the incredible variety of sea creatures, from graceful jellyfish glowing softly to playful penguins waddling around with so much personality. Walking through the ocean tunnel was my favourite part, as sharks and massive rays glided right above my head, making it feel like I was underwater with them. The colourful coral displays and tropical fish were breathtaking and made me appreciate how beautiful and diverse marine life is. The interactive exhibits were fun and educational, helping me learn interesting facts while still enjoying myself. Overall, the experience was exciting, relaxing, and inspiring, and it made my visit to Melbourne even more special.

I really enjoyed the visit to the sky deck. The views were fantastic! It was exciting to see all the area, especially the complex for the Australian open. I'll be going there Monday and it really is nice to see how the grounds look and how big the area actually is I definitely would recommend this excursion to the Sky deck.

Really serene trip up the river - we had 2 hours so got to hering island and back - you'd need 3 hours to get to docklands downstream as well. Bring a towel to sit on - the black cushions get hot in the sun!
