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.

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!
