As my husband was unable to join us for the boat ride, I had to take my daughter out on my own. The night before, I was very worried and nervous because I had never driven a boat before.
Thankfully, the friendly crew member sensed how nervous I was and kindly offered to guide me for a while until I felt confident enough to handle the boat myself. His patience and encouragement made a huge difference.
It turned out to be a wonderful experience with my daughter, and I was surprised by how easy the boat was to handle. We had a fantastic time and created a very special memory together. Highly recommended!

Paul was alovely instructor and very knowledgable about Melbourne! Despite the slight wind, it was made clear that we were very safe, and the kayaks were stable for two begginers. We also weren't very fatigued by the end, as there was plenty of time to rest and enjoy the scenery! The food options were great and we loved chatting with other participants.

I really enjoyed the city sightseeing kayak tour. First time doing it and the guide was very helpful. No needed workout for the day as it serves as the arm and back workout already 😂

It doesn’t take a sea animal fanatic to want to go to this place! If you are an animal lover and want a bit of reed escapade in Melbourne then this could be a great quick spot or long. Easy to access with public transport and well maintained. The animals are gorgeous and I felt like a kid again. The place smells very nice too

A MUST DO! Instead of Belgrave, we departed from Lakeside and stopped over at Gembrook. I dont know what I am missing at Belgrave but I am super thankful I chose Lakeside. Driving there was easy, parking spaces aplenty, station was nice with a cafe and a mini museum and just a walk or short drive you can get to the Lake area for a walk. Gembrook is a super charming small town too! We walked around and settled at a cafe called Gracie's and had some scones and hot drinks before we took the train back to Lakeside. I thoroughly enjoyed this trip because it was sooo peaceful. I highly recommend you try the same route too!

What to know before visiting Melbourne
What to expect in Melbourne
Melbourne’s busiest Klook bookings are for Tours, followed by Zoos & aquariums, Museums and Outdoor & sports activities, with Historical sites also showing steady interest. Demand swings through the year: July is the peak month for bookings while March tends to be much quieter, according to Klook booking data. That seasonal rhythm makes Melbourne a year-round city for culture, wildlife and active outdoor days — choosing when to visit depends on whether you want festival atmosphere or smaller crowds. Decide whether you prefer peak-season buzz or quieter sightseeing based on those trade-offs and Klook trends.
When to visit Melbourne
July stands out as the busiest month and March is the quietest, per Klook booking data. Prices follow a similar rhythm: the priciest month on Klook is July with a median price of PHP 3,092, while the lowest typical price appears in January at PHP 476, so crowds and prices peak together. For lower prices and smaller crowds aim for January or March; for the liveliest city atmosphere and events choose July but expect higher typical prices.
| Month | Demand Level | Typical Price |
|---|---|---|
| January | Quieter than usual | PHP 476 |
| February | Quieter than usual | PHP 892 |
| March | Quieter than usual | PHP 1,189 |
| April | Busier than usual | PHP 1,130 |
| May | Busier than usual | PHP 2,498 |
| June | Busier than usual | PHP 2,438 |
| July | Peak demand | PHP 3,092 |
| August | Quieter than usual | PHP 2,319 |
| September | About average | PHP 1,724 |
| October | About average | PHP 1,724 |
| November | About average | PHP 1,903 |
| December | Quieter than usual | PHP 951 |
Demand is bookings in that month compared with a typical month, from historical Klook booking data, grouped into the demand levels above; typical price is the median paid on Klook in that month; prices are shown with their currency code. Based on Klook booking data, July 2025 – June 2026.
Where to stay in Melbourne
Klook hotel data shows a clear price spread between districts: North Melbourne is the most affordable district on average with a typical nightly rate around PHP 5,114, while East Melbourne sits at the priciest end with about PHP 13,201 per night, a gap of roughly 61%. The more affordable end suits travellers prioritising lower nightly costs and a practical base for sightseeing; pricier East Melbourne suits those wanting higher-end hotels and a more premium stay experience. These comparisons are based on Klook booking data and typical nightly rates.
Tips for travellers from the Philippines
Most travellers from the Philippines book experiences about 6 days ahead, while the earliest planners book roughly 18 days out, according to Klook booking data. That typical lead time means you can often stay flexible and book a day or two before travel, but during July — the peak month — locking itineraries in earlier is wise. Many travellers find success reserving tours and popular activities on Klook a week or two ahead to secure preferred times. Use Klook to compare typical prices and availability and book confidently when you spot the option that fits your travel style.
