Book Yarra River Cruises in Melbourne

Excellent customer service Commentary was good and gave account of the history of Melbourne and Yara river Historical monuments and nice nature

Informative journey upstream, but disappointing that we couldn't go downstream because of tidal issues . However, half the costs were refunded with very little hassle.

We booked the 2hr river cruise but we the boat only went one way due to the high tide. We therefore only got a 1 hr cruise.

The experience on Yarra river was good. The chairs were a bit uncomfortable and we had a two hour tour ticket but after an hour there was hardly any instructions what to do next.

It was a very interesting tour with a good commentary. I really enjoyed it and loved seeing a side of Melbourne I'd never seen before. My criticism was that the refreshments served were pretty ordinary. Don't bother providing tea and coffee if the water isn't hot.

We loved learning about the history of different parts of the Yarra,it was very informative.Loved our female skipper,she was amazing to watch how she manoeuvred the boat into various places and we loved her commentary,she was witty !!!

It was enjoyable. We opted for the upstream and downstream tours. There was a half hour break between the two and the boat returns to the pickup point between them for the half hour and we needed to disembark for the duration of the break. There is a toilet on board and the seats are relatively comfy. Unfortunately the rain came down during the downstream tour so we couldn't get any good photos as the windows were covered in droplets but, that's Melbournes weather. All in all it was an enjoyable ride and we got to see Melbourne from a different perspective.

Enjoyed the cruise. However due to high tide only could one way for 1 hour. Manager said has out request through for partial refund to headout. Expecting this back

We loved seeing the beautiful buildings and sites from the water view. The boat stopped halfway to pick up and drop off passengers. The entire ride on the boat was less than 2 hours.

Nice weather great crew commentary

very informative,nice cruise up and down the yarra

Ticketing experience was very straightforward. The whole trip was enjoyable and very informative.

The guide was wonderful, the tour explained and the view was spectacular.

Being able to sit outside, and see the sights on the banks properly. The commentary was good. The good weather helped also!

Fantastic staff cruise was amazing

The trip wasn't great... though the company can't control screaming kids, it was very hard to hear any of the information over the speaker. Also, I guess Melbourne (Yarra River) isn't as beautiful as the river cruise we took in Brisbane. I guess I missed the 'Docklands' destination description when I booked.

I didn't like the attention given and the lack of information about the trip,

We liked wht we could hear of the commentary. Easy to book and find strt off point

Very Organised informative Spacious

The ferry on the Yarra was packed with people so with a little vhild hard to move around. A hot day but the window near me wouldn't open. The 'guide' was a recording and a t times hard to hear. And, I thought I had booked the tour upstream but it went out to the Ports.

The tour should show the dockland area but they cancelled it .

Fantastic way to see the lower Yarra. Lovely crew, comfortable boat, great views with an informative commentary. Spend time on the stern deck if the weather is good but don't forget to duck for the bridges.

Perfect weather and friendly onboard staff.

Great experience for entire family

The ease of booking was vey good. Quality of cruise was good. The audio is very poor. It should be heard to understand what is happening and which aites are we visiting.

Bert friendly and hospitable staff. Excellent food and almost too much to drink.

Very relaxing. Nice food No problem booking with headout

We booked this tour as we had done the longer night version before and loved it and we had our friend from Germany visiting. The food, drinks and service were great though we went up the river 30 minutes and came back and did that twice so my friend really didn't get to see anything which was disappointing.

We had a lovely afternoon. The crew were all fantastic at their jobs. The food was lovely and the drinks were great. I would like to mention that one of your male crew did a fabulous job of dealing with a very arrogant, rude and pretentious women who felt she should have a window seat. Her behaviour and the way she spoke to him when she did not get what she wanted was disgracfull.

The food and wine was great, truly bottomless!! Coffee at the end was excellent and I am a hard marker :)

Was nice scenery. Not cramped at all. Just wished the commentary was there like it was meant to be. Would have been good to have been told something.

The boat was in good condition, clean etc and staff helpfull with drinks etc but there was NO engagement with the passengers. We got a very brief welcome and not a word more, nothing about where we were going, or any commentry about the harbour and Yarra river , just silence! I havent done many of these but the on the occasion I have there was some commentry. Regards Neal Still

I thought there would be a bar on board - there wasn't (that's why i booked the tour) and i thought the bought would be bigger - i understand that one it was a small crowd but nevertheless would've felt really fancy being on a big boat with not many people

We paid $60 per head, too much, No narrator to tell us what place are we! all the building sorounds us, what was that. Also the crew did not even offer to get us a group photos. No narrator at all

The sunset, the view, the boat, the capitain

Excellent tour. Highly recommended. Favio was very friendly and showed great knowledge of the city.

Good information, on time, amazing experience.

The ferry crew were excellent and the commentary along the river very informative.

The crew's assistance with me and my partner boarding on. Ashamed that the front row's window traped shut by the front door. Otherwise the service was exemplary.

Booking tickets was easy & the pier for departure was easy to find. The cruise was well organised & left on time. We enjoyed the experience immensely, although we had to move seats to avoid two neighbouring couples who were oblivious to us & speaking to each other at the tops of their voices. It was during the Aust Open season & being a warm day, the boat had quite a few tourists on board . The downside to this was that the commentary was almost inaudible. However this cruise along the Yarra to Williamstown is an awesome way to see the many beautiful office & apartment buildings & linear parklands lining the river at Southbank, Docklands, Fishermens' Bend & Williamstown. Just a fantastic way to view our beautiful city, river & environs. We intend to do it again oneday.

Smooth ferry ride, cruising the sights of Malbourne. Very relaxing

Easy to book and Good commentary by the staff.

The ferry was cancelled due to the high tide. I am asking for the full refund of my 4 tickets,

It was half hour late leaving and there was erratic info, no seats or shade for waiting.

It was our first time taking this ferry. I was thrilled by the very nice and helpful onsite team, as well as the ferry team. It was very memorable time for me and my boy. I will definitely recommend to friends!

We were the only ones on the cruise! Great service. It arrived 15 minutes late- we were getting a bit panicky but needn't have worried. Definitely worth doing.

It was easy from booking the tickets on line to finding the departure point and boarding the ferry. The ferry crew were friendly and informative. The whole trip was lovely.

The first few minutes of the cruise from the city to Williamstown are not particularly exciting. Don’t let this fool ya. Sailing under the bridges and seeing all of Melbourne’s famous sites from the water is an amazing experience. The view of Port Philip Bay is something to die for.

The commentary of the area and the staff were friendly and of course the beautiful weather we had

Ticketing was so easy trip was excellent although at times pre recorded commentary hard to hear. Friendly staff

Very good ferry ride and commentary on board by the crew

Ferry pilot was provided interesting and entertaining commentary. Good value.

The atmospheres, the service and unlimited drinks.

We sat on the top floor which was AMAZING (we would have been hughely disappointed if we sat in the middle downstairs), the staff were quick to serve food and kept our glasses topped up, which was perfect! :)

On schedule, great crew , wonderful food with pleasant professional wait staff. Excellent value for money.

Everything was great from the booking process and the cruise with great food and drinks. We would look to book again in the future.

The dinner cruise was really nice, great food, friendly and helpful staff, great views. A nice relaxing night

Friendly attentative staff. Excellent dinner and free flowing drinks. Lovely gentle cruise down the river.

Great experience with friendly staff and great views of Melbourne. Great food and always topping up our drinks. Will be back next time I'm in Melbourne . 🙂

The staff were warm and welcoming with awesome hospitality. The meal and unlimited drinks were great. The atmosphere was calm and relaxing with beautiful view of the city at night. It's definitely worth it as we had a brilliant time.

From the time we boarded until we left the staff were exceptional. Extremely friendly and always right there to top up drinks before your glass was even empty. But it didnt feel like they were hovering. The food was plentiful and very tasty. The seating was not cramped so there was no problem moving around. Very relaxing from the top deck watching the night lights of Melbourne. Had a great experience celebrating my husbands 71st birthday.

Loved the scenery, food and service. Second time on Melbourne River Cruise and enjoyed it even more than first!!! Diappointed with ticketing service as it is out of Australia and charged considerable O/S bank fees .

The attention and food were to our liking, I recommend this place to my friends.

Great food,great views, great service. Well done!

Had a wonderful time on the Spirit of Melbourne dinner cruise. Location was easy to find, people were shown to their tables quickly and every spot had a great view. Food was delious and staff were very friendly and always asking if you needed anything. The included drinks were always being topped up! Definitely got bang for buck and had a pleasant time.

There was no major issue, but it was very odd to share the desserts (based on the description and price, I assumed that each person was getting smaller pastries and not big ones to share) and to eat the cheese platter after the desserts AND even worse after coffee/tea. It might be an Australian custom, but it is really bad for the stomach and I guess it would be safer to propose to have coffee / tea after the cheese.

The actual floating restaurant was nice and food was delicious. This was meant to be scenic tour, however it was dark and there was nothing interesting to see upstream. As a restaurant it was great, but it failed to be a scenic ride.

The night was fantastic, beautiful food and very friendly staff on board. Excellent night.👍

It was an amazing night The staff were great Food was delicious Cruise was very relaxing

Amazing food and wonderful staff. Great night had by all

Value for money greate food and drink as well good service
