About this tour
Catch Melbourne's riverside glow on this 75-minute evening cruise departing at 7pm. You'll drift past the city's landmarks as the sun dips low, turning the skyline gold. The boat carries commentary mixed with ambient music, letting you absorb the view at your own pace. Bring a camera or simply watch the light shift across the water. Small children welcome in prams; service animals permitted.

What to expect
You'll board at 6:45pm and push off at 7:00pm sharp, returning by 8:15pm. The vessel moves steadily along the river, with crew offering context about landmarks as you pass. Music stays low enough to hear conversation. It's calm and unrushed—no rushing between photo stops or scripted activities. The angle of the sun shifts noticeably over the hour and a quarter, so the colours keep changing. Bring layers; the breeze off the water cools as evening sets in. Toilets are onboard, and you can purchase drinks throughout.
