The tour departs from the Melbourne Day Tour Centre at 08:10. The precise address will be in your booking confirmation — check it the evening before as meeting points can occasionally be updated.
The tour runs from approximately 08:10 to 13:15, making it a half-day experience of just over five hours.
The lunch option is best selected at the time of booking. If you need to change your option, contact the operator as early as possible before your tour date.
Depending on tidal conditions, the cruise may travel the other way along the Yarra, exploring Melbourne's riverside gardens, parklands and sporting precincts. The experience is equally scenic either way.
Mostly, yes — but on Mondays and Wednesdays the route includes additional stops: Enterprize Wharf, Crown Casino, Southbank Theatre, the Tan Track and a peek into the MCG from Gate 3.
When the market is closed, the guide extends time at the laneways and Fitzroy Gardens instead, so you won't lose out on the experience.
