I thought it was a great experience, but a bit expensive. Of the 45 minutes, I was only able to stay for 21 minutes. Very cold indeed. Warm clothes and gloves don't make you feel comfortable or elegant! The drink is very good. It was worth the curiosity!

Very fun experience, would recommend getting a package with the drinks (it works out cheaper than buying them individually in the bar) around $20-$30 each.

We loved seeing the beautiful buildings and sites from the water view. The boat stopped halfway to pick up and drop off passengers. The entire ride on the boat was less than 2 hours.

IceBar Melbourne Review
IceBar Melbourne is a unique and fun experience, especially if you’ve never been to an ice bar before. The atmosphere is definitely cool—literally—since everything inside is made of ice, from the walls to the sculptures and even the drinking glasses. They provide warm jackets, gloves, and boots if needed, so you don’t have to worry about the cold too much.
The drinks are well-made, and the novelty of sipping cocktails in a -10°C environment is pretty exciting. The staff is friendly and ensures you have a good time. However, one downside is that they don’t allow guests to take videos inside the bar, which was a bit disappointing. You can take photos, but if you were hoping to capture the experience on video, that’s not an option.
Overall, it’s a fun place to visit at least once, especially with friends or for a unique date night. Just be prepared for the no-video policy and enjoy the icy vibes!

The first hour down the South Yarra was calm and clearly informative. During the second hour, there were a number of passengers who were totally disinterested in the commemtary and proceeded to converse loudly amongst themselves! It might be an idea to make a comment before departure to be considerate of those who want to enjoy the whole experience!

The tour was informative. The boat was clean. Staff on the boat were friendly and helpful.
The ticket booth employee was a grumpy man. But overall the tour was 10/10

Dave and crew were lovely and friendly. The views of Melbourne were awesome and commentary to support it taught us a lot about the city.

The Tour required you to disembark from the boad, wait 15 minutes and then return to the boat to complete. This was not communicated and if was, we would have not taken the tour. The issue is, that their is very little shade and only a small proportion of seating, so if you are with ederly (which we were) it made the experience uncomfortable. Not sure why this detail was not clearly indicated on either the ticket or the webpage. Otherwise everything else was good.

The cruise itself was fantastic.
Great captain and commentator.
The only criticism would be the organisation before embarking was bad.
I had a QR code on my phone.
I asked the guide about instructions and she ushered us to berth 2.
At no stage did she say I needed to print off a ticket, it also doesn't say that on the email.
Nearly missed the cruise because of this , it was a crazy few minutes.
Really needs to be improved

The views the peacefulness, the commentary was good but miss some of it because of other people talking on the boat, some very interesting info in it.

Everything went well with the tickets. At the counter for the boat tour, we were registered in the computer and received our boarding pass. The trip was nice. The explanations of the sights were interesting.

I booked this experience for my husband and 2 little girls, 4 & 8 years. As my husband and I had been to one on NZ years ago I thought my girls would love it. Their experience didn't go as well as I had hoped but it was a different experience for them to hopefully remember in future years.
Just a pity we can't take pics of our own though.

The late afternoon cruise was very pleasant and informative. Good value for money. The only glitch was that it was not claer that that the electronic ticket and barcode had to be swapped for a paper ticket which I had to quickly do.
