Punting on the Lake

We tried Punting on the Lake for the first time and we truly loved it. Wesley and his wife were very pleasant and made the experience very special.
It literally allowed me to relax and take my mind off the hustle and bustle of every day.
Thank you guys and will see you again very soon!

This was so amazing and the staff are incredibly friendly and knowledgeable on the Botanic Gardens.

What a great ride around the lake, very relaxing. Ayami and her husband love what they do and it shows. They were such wonderful hosts. Ayami was our guide and she was informative & fun. We would highly recommend this experience for all ages.

Awesome experience? So relaxing. The view into the gardens is beautiful from the lake and the staff were lovely and knowledgeable about the gardens.

Highly recommend this unique experience! The staff are incredibly down to earth and friendly too!

Just what we needed after a lot of site seeing in Melbourne; what a relaxing and amazing experience! Ayami was super friendly, informative and just lovely to chat to on punt boat ride. We will definitely be back next time we are in Melbourne!

Wesley gave us a “David Attenborough” level of exquisite education about the flora and fauna of the Botanic Gardens, which added lots of value to the experience!
The staff clearly love and care for the place and the wildlife. The ride was a fair price and I’d recommend Punting on the Lake to anyone (tourists or locals) visiting the gardens

I just had the time of my life punting on the Royal Botanic Gardens Lake with Captain Max and team.such a beautiful and pleasurable experience thankyou.

The most perfect, beautiful surreal activity to do with a partner and or friends! Absolutely would do this again. The price point is great and the boats make you feel like you’re in Venice. Please thank our guide Ton! He was so kind and lovely and had so much beautiful insight and information to provide about all the nature and history of the botanical!

Punting on the lake gave u the experience to do extra activities with your dog. It's such a delightful journey and great experience

What a lovely experience! We’ve only just moved to Melbourne but the Royal Botanical Gardens is a favourite place of ours already. The ‘Punting on the Lake’ experience has now made it even better! We had a lovely conversation with the couple who runs the boats which fit perfectly with the beautiful scenery. Captain Max was the best Captain we’ve ever experienced, even though he slept on the job. Highly recommend!

Was so happy to find this little activity, very lovely woman who was very informative and gave us a beautiful tour of the lake. Would highly recommend.

It was very good place to visit and Jas receptionist was very good in dealing with smile and the owner was good too. Nice place to visit.

It was so beautiful & pleasant. We saw so many adorable birds and turtles. 10/10 would recommend:)
