Booking on line was easy. Did the 2 hour tour, was very informative particularly all the history of the river and Melbourne over the years. Really enjoyed the tour around the port area which you really don't get to see except from a boat. Maybe the inclusion of an app or headphones to hear the commentary would be good as had a noisy bunch on board which made hearing a little difficult at times. Really good otherwise.

The only problem with experience was that our sitting was next to the reserve sitting for the wildlife group who turned up late. The nation parks guide , Rosemary, talked throughout the presentation that was given by Sarah making it difficult for us to follow. Filling that idle chat continued throughout the evening handing out penguin jumpers and activity books. We have been on a number of trips where this is done before you are go into the event. In our opinion the guide should not have been talking whilst the guide for the event was speaking.

I'm so glad we went and saw the penguins at Phillip Island and it's so popular, booking is an absolute must, as is wearing something warm.

Especially with cameras, but they are a cute little thing!

Seeing the penguins. My family really enjoyed the experience - getting to see them coming out of the water and cautiously walking their way to their nest. I only WISH we were allowed to take photos/videos of the penguins. I know the flash will distract or scare them off, but atleast we should be able to record them as long as we turn the flash off. It'll be a great thing for us to reminisce and share with out loved ones.

Annette

We loved watching the penguins coming up from the Ocean back to their burrows . The most disturbing part was the lack of respect the tourists have for the Parks staff and the penguins themselves. Taking photos with flashes after being told several times to put them away. Standing up and not taking any notice of rules. I think as humans we have / are interfering too much with the Penguin habitat and should limit the nights / amount of people aloud in one area. Quite sad to watch the penguins get scared to walk back into their own territory.

Very relaxing from the top deck watching the night lights of Melbourne. Had a great experience celebrating my husbands 71st birthday.

There was no major issue, but it was very odd to share the desserts (based on the description and price, I assumed that each person was getting smaller pastries and not big ones to share) and to eat the cheese platter after the desserts AND even worse after coffee/tea. It might be an Australian custom, but it is really bad for the stomach and I guess it would be safer to propose to have coffee / tea after the cheese.

The actual floating restaurant was nice and food was delicious. This was meant to be scenic tour, however it was dark and there was nothing interesting to see upstream. As a restaurant it was great, but it failed to be a scenic ride.

Loved the scenery, food and service. Second time on Melbourne River Cruise and enjoyed it even more than first!!! Diappointed with ticketing service as it is out of Australia and charged considerable O/S bank fees .
