Yarra river boat ride - We did the evening Yarrra River boat tour, which included dinner. Overall, the tour was very good as was the food and drink. I always suggest would have been to shorten the length of the boat ride by about 30 minutes otherwise excellent evening.

An amazing experience on the Spirit of Melbourne Dinner Cruise by Melbourne River Cruises - We had an amazing experience on the Spirit of Melbourne Dinner Cruise by Melbourne River Cruises during my first visit to Australia. I went on the cruise during my first few days in Australia (around 2nd January), and it truly set the tone for the rest of my trip. The 2.5-hour journey along the beautiful Yarra River was absolutely delightful. The food exceeded all expectations—from the entrées to the desserts, everything was of excellent quality and well worth the price. The overall experience, including the ambiance and service, made it even more special. It was definitely value for money, and I would highly recommend this experience to anyone visiting Melbourne. A perfect way to enjoy the city!

Great but a high tide limited our travel on the river. - The staff were friendly and attentive serving an excellent food choice, along with free drinks. Unfortunately due to a high tide we could not go under any bridges so we went up and done between two only. This did slightly spoil otherwise what was a great experience.

No no for sightseeing but a leisurely (but expensive) dinner on the Yarra. - A leisurely and relaxing cruise with good food, fine wine along service that was exemplary. However there was very little to see along the cruise which made it a little boring. After a champagne we had entrees, main course , dessert and a small cheese platter, with more wine, all of which were well served and tasty. I don't think the deal was cheap so maybe think about other options such as a day tour.
