Great alternative to the commercial tour operators on the Yarra; quite literally two men and a boat! The two men are a father and son team that have been plying the lesser known Maribyrnong River for 40 years, and deliver a commentary on the rich history and local ecology of the area.

Lovely way to spend the afternoon. Went out last Sunday day with family and thoroughly enjoyed getting to see a part of Melbourne that we don't normally get to see.The driver/host is very knowledgeable and incredibly well spoken as well as welcoming.Highly recommend taking family or friends out for a reasonably priced afternoon on the river!P.s. kids would love being able to wave out at all the people walking along the river too.

This is a unique, interesting, relaxing and fun experience! A very little known part of Melbourne, which feels like you have stepped back in time to a less complicated, peaceful and unspoiled era.We went on this cruise upstream, because we know that this whole area will be ruined forever by rampant development in the near future and will be lost for ever. A tragedy.Our Captain, Peter, shares the interesting history all along the river. He obviously has a passion for this river and it's stories which he has been sharing with his passengers for 39 years.This cruise is excellent value for money and on a beautiful day, is a joy.

peter has been operating with his son warwick for the past 38 years and you have to take your hat off on the intimate knowledge he has of the area along the river, which is steeped in history.if you want to slip into the old world, jump on board for a leisurely and informative tour with blackbird river cruise and learn more out the maribyrnong river. it is worth every cent paid.

We did the 2 hour cruise upstream. Peter gave a very informative and humorous talk along the way. Comfortable and relaxing. Bring a jacket as can be cool. Will be doing the 1 hour cruise soon.

We had a wonderful cruise upriver and saw an incredible landscape that we had no idea was even there. The commentary is knowledgeable and delivered with such a smooth and polished narration. The Blackbird is an awesome old boat and while she's a bit rough around the edges the high level of maintenance is very evident as she runs smooth as silk. Ah awesome time thanks guys.

Lovely 94 year old ferry boat, real adventure. Very informative commentry by the captain as we travelled along the river. Weather was cold and showers but it certainly didn't spoil the outing. Highlight for our charter cruise was stopping for coffee & cake at the Boat House Cafe.
