From a succinct 1-hour to leisurely 2-hour and extended 3-hour cruises, this boat ride interlaces stunning views with historic landmarks. You'll start at Kingston Foreshore, which used to be a busy industrial place but is now full of great places to eat. The cruise is set along Lake Burley Griffin, named after an American architect who won a competition to design Canberra in 1912. Witness the National Carillion, a gift from Britain and one of the world's largest carillons, boasting 55 bells. And don't forget to look out for the Captain Cook Memorial Jet, launching water up to half the height of the Eiffel Tower!
