Wie erwartet gut :)

Ich hatte gleich 2 Fahrten gebucht und beide waren in Ordnung. Die eine fuhr in die Innenstadt, die andere zur Brücke, die man wirklich gesehen haben muss. Für den Preis etwas zu wenig Komfort und wenig zu sehen aber wenn die Stadt nicht mehr zu bieten hat, können die Fähren auch nichts dafür. Im Großen und Ganzen OK.

Gute Überblick über die Stadt vom Wasser

Recht interessante Tour. Zum Rabattpreis zu empfehlen. Als Vollzahler würde ich nur die 1Std. Richtung Hafen machen...passt soweit...

Schöne Rundfahrt

Bei der großen Rundfahrt in die Docks und den Yarra River hinauf bekommt man eine schöne Sicht auf die Hafenregion. Im Internet findet man oftmals Tickets mit 50% Rabatt, so dass dann auch das Priis-Leistungs-Verhältnis der Rundfahrt stimmt:)

great cruise

We did both up and down river cruises, Down river cruise was fantastic with great views of the city and docks etc. The up river cruise had less views. But was informative about the area and all the bridges. If you had to pick only one i would choose down river.. Great family activity.

Melbourne River Cruise

Not what I was looking for. Very disappointed. Most of the sites could not really been seen due to obstructions in the way and very short.
