Relax River Cruise - Our recent river cruise in Melbourne was an incredible opportunity to explore the city's stunning waterways. The experience was truly enjoyable, as we sailed along the Yarra River, taking in the picturesque views of the skyline, lush parks, and vibrant cultural landmarks. The gentle rhythm of the boat and the fresh air made it a perfect day out. We loved every moment of the cruise, from the delicious refreshments on board to the informative commentary about the city's history and attractions. It was a fantastic way to discover Melbourne from a different perspective, and we can't wait to do it again!

Take a city circle tram, cheaper - Sights were interesting however, very little choice for food and drink on board. Commentary was limited and the same in both directions. Too short.
