Great Cruise
We thoroughly enjoyed this harbor cruise, and the informative commentary. There was plenty of room for many of us on the very top deck to get great views, and for those who preferred to be below or inside, there was availability as well. The tour went around the harbor, under the bridge, covering a large area on both sides.
Prices were competitive; the boat left on time, and the crew was friendly.

Ravioli to die for
This cruise was amazing. The food was first class and the service was faultless. Thank you Queen for taking such good care if us. Don't think that you have to get off as soon as the boat returns or that you have to rush your meal. You can stay and do a few rounds if the tour up until 4.30. We did the 3 course meal with window upgrade and highly recommend

Yo ho- yo ho!
Such a unique experience on the Sydney Harbor! We had an enjoyable afternoon out in the harbor on this unique 1800s ship. We got lucky cause there was only a group of 10 of us, so we basically had the entire ship to ourselves. We met the captain and the crew, but our tour guide was great! He was quite the historian, and gave us so much interesting information and stories of the area. We also got to help the crew with the ails which was a lot of fun! They offered us beverages and capers which made for a super nice voyage out and then back under the bridge before returning to the dock.

Another wonderful Viator experience
Buying the Viator ferry and zoo pass made our zoo trip seamlessly easy. We got in the ticket line at Captain Cooke cruises and just by scanning our UPC code they handed us 2 tickets for the two-way ferry trip and 2 tickets for the zoo admittance. Nobody saw or had access to our credit card while we were in line at the window, or at the zoo. Getting on the ferry and into the zoo was just as easy because we had our tickets. At the ferry dock near the zoo a free bus will come to take you to the front gate and outside the front gate it will come to take you back to the ferry dock when your time at the zoo is over. Just remember to keep the ferry tickets somewhere safe because you will need to show them to get back on the ferry. We count this as yet another wonderful Viator experience!

Worth it!
Surprisingly good food - arguably too much, we were stuffed at the end (we had the four course meal). Very friendly and efficient staff. Lovely views and we personally enjoyed seeing Sydney in lights after the sun went down more than the sunset itself. Great experience, would do again.

Great Tall Ship sailing experience would recommend
We actually ended up on the dinner cruise as a result of not enough people wanting to go on the lunch cruise.
Actually turned out to be a blessing, what a lovely time to sail through the harbour as the city starts to light up for the evening. The beginning of the sunset was beautiful behind the bridge too.
The crew were all brilliant, and our host Howard was very friendly and approachable with lots of knowledge and interesting facts. The food was plentiful and tasty, and we enjoyed it along with a beer we bought from the bar.
I actually took up the added extra option of climbing up to the crows nest. What a great view from up there and well worth the experience in my opinion.
All in all a great cruise, and the ship was a really good alternative to the usual motor cruisers and an experience we really enjoyed.
I would recommend this cruise, it was good value for money and we really enjoyed ourselves.

Outstanding Private Harbour Experience
This private boat tour was a highlight of our time in Sydney. The harbour views were spectacular, and the small group size allowed the captain to provide personalized commentary and share deep knowledge of the area. A wonderful way to experience Sydney from the water — highly recommend.

Relaxing harbour experience
This cruise was a relaxing tour around the Sydney harbor with a nice charcuterie board. The 2 included drinks were perfect for hanging around with two friends and seeing the sights. You get nice and close to the opera house and gutpinch island. Ultimately, if youre looking for a relaxing evening with a nice little cruise, this is perfect.

The tour was beautiful...
The tour was beautiful and we really covered a lot of ground. Unfortunately our pickup spot changed the day of the tour and since I was out of the country didn't have access to Wifi and wasn't informed of the change in location to meet the boat until we had already arrived and didn't see the boat. We were then told it was a "3 minute walk" to the new pickup location, which turned into an almost 20-30 minute walk because I had older folks with me who really had a hard time walking that distance due to hip, knee and lung problems. It would have been nice to get a call or text message to update us on the change. That said, once we finally made it there it was a lovely evening, beautiful views, and the snacks/drinks were a nice touch.

Exclusive Day on the Harbour
The most exclusive day on the harbour. From the moment Dave collected us from Darling Harbour we went entertained in the most regal fashion with a true Aussie gent dedicated to making sure we had a memorable day.
His knowledge was 2nd to none, facilities on the yacht so comfortable, lunch was delicious, book your day with Dave and you won’t be disappointed. 👏👏

Not seeing something you are looking for?
Sydney is one of the most well-known harbors, with the iconic Harbour Bridge and Sydney Opera House taking center stage. A perfect way to explore the harbor is by taking one of many Sydney day cruises. There are private and group options, tall ship and ferry choices, and those that include lunch, cocktails, or both. Head out from Circular Quay and ensure your cameras are charged for beautiful harbor shots.
