We could not have asked for a better table view!!! We were greeted with smiles and friendly assistance. We departed as timed. The meal was good and good service.!! We had Erin as our waiter and he was friendly and patient!! We returned on time but was offered to delay out departure if we desired to second drop off. The sights were awesome!!! Couldn't have a better seat to see Sydney!!! I would highly r recommend Harbor dinner cruise!!'

Beautiful dinner experience, perfect way to end our Sydney trip.. the staff was attentive and the food exceeded expectations. Views of the opera house and bridge were unmatched!
Loved the window seat. Beautiful views of the harbor and plenty of room on the decks to take pictures and enjoy the evening.
Decent but overall quality of the food and ships interior was subpar. Didn’t feel high end but it was overall fine. Wife and I showed up dressed well and the other passengers were pretty casual.
So much fun! Great service, great love music, amazing views! Good was good!! Amazing wine list! Check it out purple!!
Food was excellent, as was the service. Only slight downside from my perspective was at times the boat was slightly rocky.
Unfortunately, this dinner cruise didn’t quite live up to our expectations. The cruise started late and then stopped at a second location to pick up additional passengers. Because of the delay, we essentially missed the sunset, which was one of the things we had been looking forward to most.
The views of Sydney Harbour are beautiful, but you really need to go up to the top deck to enjoy them. There isn’t much of a view from the dining room itself, so don’t expect to watch the scenery go by while having dinner.
We were also disappointed with the food and didn’t find it particularly enjoyable.
Sydney Harbour is absolutely worth experiencing from the water, but based on our experience, we would recommend looking for a smaller cruise that offers a more intimate atmosphere and better opportunities to enjoy the views.
Nice, friendly staff, but the value for the cost is not comparable. We had VIP seating and would have easily received the same experience with a regular ticket. Food is average and alcohol is an additional expense. Seems like a good option for families with young children and teens, or older adults. I would dress casual (nothing fancy).
Great cruise with sunset dining with 3 course meal. You can easy to spend 3 hours plus together. Great Experience. I enjoy it.
The idea was neat - food was average- service was less than average - the Darling harbor wharf has so many great restaurants I’d sooner eat at
Great experience on board and service was awesome. Food was delicious and drinks came out quick to the table.
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
We had such a lovely dinner cruise! The food was absolutely delicious, the service was excellent, and the views were beautiful throughout the evening. The bonus was the live entertainment, a lovely couple playing music and singing, which made the whole experience even more enjoyable. Great food, wonderful service, gorgeous views, and live music, such a perfect way to spend the evening. Highly recommend!
We booked the 4 course meal with confirmed window seating which had beautiful views and the food was exceptional however there were no mocktail options available. The ambience could have been improved by providing live/recorded music especially due to a group of school kids making a lot of noise. We went in early August and it was extremely cold so we spent most of our time inside the boat rather than upstairs on the deck.
This was a great way to see the harbor at sunset and when the lights go on in the city. We chose to reserve a table at the window which was nice and we upgraded to a menu that offered the lamb which my family preferred. The food was fine. Our pick up was at Darling Harbour and they made a stop to pick up passengers at Circular Quay. Many of those passengers got off at our Darling Harbour return stop so I guess they had enough and were ok walking a different route.
It was great experience, food was better than expected. Told about my partners birthday and they arranged a small surprise.
An absolute highlight for our time in town! Dinner was delicious and the views were unmatched, would book again.
The views of Sydney Harbour were absolutely stunning from both our dinner table and the front/rear parts of the boat. The food was absolutely great.
Was a great experience, the views the service everything was amazing!
Make sure to wonder up to the top deck to get the full experience of the city lights
The cruise was well organized. The servers were friendly and efficient with the menu selection and service. The harbor sights were lovely as the sun set, and fascinating as the city scape lighted up against the black sky.
Great. I enjoyed the dinner experience. It was fun and was an end to a pleasant vacation. I had for myself
I feel bad about leaving a negative review as the staff was very nice. However, we felt very rushed regarding food selection and time to serve…not a relaxed atmosphere. There was no commentary regarding what you were seeing during your cruise. There was a band set up…but apparently only played on the weekend.
Fantastic cruise lovely staff great food
Value for money will definitely do again and recommend it myself and wife had a great night and lovely memories
The city lights were beautiful, food was exceptional and service was excellent. Highly recommend the dinner cruise, one of the highlights of our trip.
Pricey but the views are worth it. Our pics are amazing. Food was average, service was excellent. Any drinks besides water are extra.
Well worth it getting the 5pm dinner u get the sunset and return before heading out again to enjoy dinneragain
Great views of entire Sydney harbor, we made multiple round trips so all guests could see everything and take great photos of Sydney Opera House etc. Delicious menu items and beautiful dining rooms.
Food was very subpar considering the price of this experience.
The duck roll was served cold (unsure of if that is how it was intended to be served or not). The ravioli was edible at best, although i find it hard to believe i would be shocked if it wasn’t from a can considering the lack of personality that the dish had. I ordered chicken breast for the main and it was incredibly overcooked and the vegetables were, although cooked well, lacking flavour and oomph. The gravy was also flavourless and watery. My partner got the lamb and that was cooked absolutely perfectly. On the positive side the desserts were impressive and yummy.
I also believe that the drinks served were a bit lacklustre - the cocktail(s) we ordered were ‘meh’ and the wine tasted cheap and nasty. It should be noted that my neither my partner and I are experienced wine tasting professionals in anyway so it is entirely possible that we don’t have a clue what we are talking about (haha). It is also noted that drinks are (understandably) not included within the price advertised.
The views were subpar but i don’t think that is necessarily the cruises’ fault and more likely just a matter of it being down to which season you attend the event - obviously winter will naturally get dark earlier.
The hospitality was faultless and all of the staff we interacted with were friendly and polite. Big ticks in that aspect.
Overall my impression was that this is a tourist trap and i feel as though i did fall victim to said trap. Not worth the price, would not recommend to any friends or family.
A wonderfull evening seeing Sydney a blaze in lights - yummy food, great live music, spectacular views, lovely staff.
Stunning views and even better food with exceptional service. Went at the 1700 tour and was less packed than the next one at 1900. Also able to go out onto a deck after you're done eating as well!
The boat was clean and tidy and our server very friendly. I would have preferred either a different main or entree as there was 2 salmon dishes, all meals were delicious and presented beautifully. The live music was great and we could move around the boat to look at the bridge, opera house etc. We had a window table but you could still see clearly from the middle too.
Be early, as cruise departs on time.
Staff were fantastic & we were served
a scrumptious 3 course dinner.
