Great experience had 4 rides all up during our week stay in Melbourne. Photo's we purchased are very good and the ones on the Web site I have now down loaded for friends and Family to see.

Good view of the city skyline and the entire trip is 30mins. However my partner and I were in the shared cabin with a family including toddlers. They were loud the entire time and shouting with their parents not seeming to care. My only request would be for the operators to use some sense when allocating people to cabins rather than just lumping singles and couples with groups of loud kids. Felt like we were on public transport rather than a tranquil experience.
