An easy and relax ferry cruise, walking around Williamstown is quite unique within a ferry cruise, the botanica garden by ocean is a gem.
Great few hours.

This was a great experience. A Nice sunny day in Melbourne although not too hot. My wife and I decided to do this on my birthday a while ago when we booked to see Phantom of the Opera the night before. It was all capped off by the fact that HMAS Castlemaine is docked in Williamstown and me being ex Navy and having served on a Mine sweeper in the British Navy, I had to go onboard and see what it was like. I was like a kid with a lolly.
Relaxing and refreshing way to see Melbourne and beyond

Really enjoyed seeing the city skyline of Melbourne and the port from the Yarra river and hearing about the history of the city. Williamstown was lovely too. Tour operators were friendly and professional.
Sit, listen and observe the amazing Melbourne through time

Enjoying different view of my beautiful city. Amazing number of bridges all different with its own history. Sailing along the calm mouth of two rivers into the bay, made it a relaxing one hour.
Lovely cruise
