We had a fabulous lunchtime cruise! The food was really delicious, there was plenty of it with a good variety of dishes to choose from. Mel was a fantastic host, as were all the crew. Nothing was too much trouble. The boat was comfortable and the commentary from the captain was interesting g and informative. We stopped off at Shark Island where there are fabulous views of the harbour and lots of bays and coves. I wound thoroughly recommend this trip for sone spectacular views!

It’s value for money and the staff is really friendly and helpful. You can closely take a photo of opera house and bridge.

Donna_V, Apr 2024

Food was not worth the money you pay. The rest of the cruise was good. The hosts were also really good.

Fantastic Day Out

Ernestina_C, Apr 2024

We had a fantastic lunch cruise. The lunch itself was scrumptious. Plenty of food, and, a variety of food. The commentary was great. It was certainly great value for money. Excellent

Exceeded our expectations!

Kumi_S, Apr 2024

Exceeded our expectations! Incredible views, friendly staff and a lovely buffet selection. We were expecting to just cruise around the Opera House and the Harbour Bridge but we went around the nearby islands such as Shark Island, and Darling & Sydney Harbour. We also appreciated the commentary as we went around these places and knowing their history and fun facts. Incredibly worth it for the price.

Great tour and really good food.

MaryLou_L, Apr 2024

This was a great tour of the harbors around Sydney. Our tour guide was very knowledgeable about the area and the lunch was really good. I would recommend this tour.

My memorable Sydney Harbour Cruise

Elenita_T, Apr 2024

The Sydney harbour itself is so beautiful. The commentary during the cruise is very helpful and full of knowledge. The buffet lunch is great. Staff are wnderfull

Good prawns

Susan_R, Apr 2024

The prawns were a good size and juicy, the rest of the food was rather tasteless but plentiful. Some extra condiments for those who prefer spicy food would be appreciated. The cleanliness of the vessel was top notch.

DO NOT PAY FOR THAT

Taina_G, Apr 2024

This wasn’t at all a great experience. First of all, the crew made us wait in a queue for a really long time (more than 20 minutes even though the boat was not even there) and it was difficult for older people with cane. Secondly, the boat was rocky and the quality of the food wasn’t worth the price at all. If you can believe it, there was ONLY ONE salt shaker for all the floor (for 20-30 persons) 😳. And finally, the guide who was speaking had no talent and was really boring. DO NOT WASTE YOUR MONEY ON THIS TOUR

Excellent

Sydney Harbor Tour and Lunch

Gary_S, Mar 2024

Nice tour. Decent food. Only reason for four stars was due to the speaker on the top deck was malfunctioning and making harsh sounds during announcements.
