The perfect way to explore a new city, if you ask us... 🫡 🧡 Full review: "Much thanks to Dom and Jack for making this trip an absolute treat. First time visiting Melbourne from LA and this ride was amazing. Love how friendly and accommodating Jack and Dom were. Thank you!" #OnABoat #OnABoatMelbourne #ImOnABoat #Melbourne #YarraRiver

Whether you're visiting or a local, there's lots to love on the Yarra. 🧡 Full review: "Living in Melbourne, I didn't think I would enjoy or appreciate this as much until a friend suggested it. On A Boat was such a great way to enjoy Melbourne's cityscape on the river and a different view of the MCG, Southbank and South Wharf. The crew of On a Boat were friendly, helpful and just overall easy to deal with! The boats were clean, able to accommodate up to 9 people and spacious. There's a speaker, connect your phone, listen + sing along to your favourite music and pack some food. Great quality time with family or friends!" Thanks to Amica for the lovely review, kind words like this really make our day! 🧡 #OnABoat #OnABoatMelbourne #ImOnABoat #Melbourne #YarraRiver
