Experience the best of Melbourne. You'll begin your day with an hour-long scenic drive toward Healesville. Once you arrive at your destination, you'll get to explore the Healesville Sanctuary. It's home to over 200 species of native wildlife, including platypus, koalas, emus, Tasmanian devils, lyrebirds, wombats and eagles in a natural bush setting. From there, you'll visit one of the Yarra Valley's wineries. The region is world-renowned for producing exceptional sauvignon blanc, chardonnay, pinot noir, shiraz and cabernet sauvignon. You'll get to sample of few of these stellar wines and then enjoy a delicious first-class two-course lunch.  Following this repast, you will enjoy the ride back to the city for your cruise on the beautiful Yarra River. Along the way, you'll pass the vast Royal Botanic Gardens and the famous Sports Precinct, considered to be Australia's premier sports complex.. Your day concludes with a short drive back to your ship.
