Fun ride along the Yarra

Published on Jan, 2025

Was enjoyable and very informative whilst relaxing as well. Was good to see the city from another angle

Great day out

Published on Dec, 2024

Farmers market, cafes, ferry views The river was a bit high so we were a bit late leaving as we had to wait to fit under the bridges.

Great little interlude

Published on Sep, 2024

Excellent activity. Staff were friendly, boat in good condition and clean, commentary comprehensive tot not over the top, tea/coffee a nice touch. Williamstown a lovely spot to visit.
