Oozing character and culture, Melbourne is often affectionately considered to be Australia’s little Europe. The city has a fascinating history, and an informative cruise in a sleek boat is a cool way to get a taste of it. If you’ve only got an hour, you can choose to explore either the port and Docklands, or wind past the botanic gardens and Herring Island. Longer trips combine all the sights. If you’re keen to venture out the city, there’s plenty more history to sink your teeth into. Kids (and big kids) alike will delight in the opportunity to ride a paddles teamer up past the redgums that line the Murray. These quaint journeys span from an hour to two, and some even include sit-down two course lunch.
