Melbourne River Cruises

First time cruising along the Yarra River from Southbank in Melbourne to Williamstown with my NDIS support group (1Step Support Group). The staff were all really friendly and the captain gave a wonderful commentary as we were cruising along the Yarra. You're able to go up to the back deck and take in all the views. They have toilet facilities on board as well as complementary tea and coffee. A very enjoyable, relaxed ferry cruise.

The captain was great, friendly and informative. Made the spontaneous trip well worthwhile.We nabbed tickets on Groupon and were on board within 15 minutes of purchase. Highly recommend for a sight seeing tour down the Yarra.Bathroom is on board.

Took the Wiiamstown ferry from Southbank. Great experience and commentary. Well worth it if a visitor to Melbourne, you will see and learn about this great city. We caught the train back to the city

First of all, I did my own research for the cruise and read most of the user reviews. I was reluctant to book via Viator due to some negative reviews. But I choose to book the cruise through Viator anyway, because it is easy using their website compared to others. And their prices are very competitive.We took the 2-hour cruise; first half was uptown going to MCG, Botanical Garden, and beyond. Then the second half was downtown going to the Docklands and the ports. Half hour going one way; half hour going back where we started (total 1 hour). Then another half hour going to the 2nd leg of the trip, and half hour back again.Our overall experience was very wonderful. We took the 11AM trip. The narrative of the captain, I believe his name is Jimmy, of the boat was very informative and funny. There was no issue with the audio as we can still hear the captain even sitting from the rear of the boat.I really recommend the river cruise. We've been leaving in Melbourne for almost 20 years now and this is the first time we did the river cruise. And will be doing again with any friends and relatives visiting us here. And will probably doing it again through Viator website.

Perfect ride - departure from Williamstown Pier to Southgate Landing. Super friendly staff! Loved the cruise to the city & returned just in time for my parking! Definately a must!

The river cruise was lovely. However it can get pretty busy. The back open space can get a bit crowded if you're not early. The captain gave us a nice tour down river to the docks and turned back a to the port. Lovely views of the city from here. It's about $35 per person and can sometimes run late so you'll just have to wait around until it leaves. Probably won't do it again but it's a bit of fun for the first time.

I have now done the Dinner cruise and Bottomless brunch and have had a very enjoyable experience both times.The staff are always super friendly and make sure you’ve always got a drink available.The food has been really well presented and tasty both times.Recommend giving this a go, it’s a great fun time out with friends.

Awesome and wonderful experience with the cruise. The captain was super information and entertaining at the same time. Enjoyed it thoroughly.The captain gave a lot of information about bridges and a little of history. Captain was humourous at the same time, making the information not boring but entertaining.
