The cruise was fantastic! Only issue was finding the boat. The name we were given was not the name that was on the boat and not displayed anywhere.
Response from Host, Mar 2026
Thank you for your feedback! We’re thrilled you enjoyed the cruise. The cruise runs on either our vessels, Heaven or Fleetwing II, and we appreciate your note about locating the boat, we’ll review how to make the boarding instructions clearer for future guests.

We enjoyed the cruise around the harbour and the ambience on the boat itself. The picky bits provided were an added bonus.
Response from Host, Mar 2026
Thank you for your lovely review! We’re so glad you enjoyed the harbour cruise, the atmosphere on board, and the added touch of the snacks.

Nice gentle cruise around the harbor. When the city lights came on at night, the view from the harbor was beautiful. The experience could be elevated by giving some commentary about what we were seeing as we cruised
Response from Host, Mar 2026
Thank you for your feedback! We’re glad you enjoyed the gentle evening cruise and the beautiful city lights. Our cruises are designed to be relaxing, allowing guests to enjoy the views at their own pace, so we don’t provide commentary, but we’re thrilled you had a lovely experience.

Lovely experience and a great way of seeing the city in different dimension. Only wish it was a little longer, it went very quickly! Had an amazing time seeing the city in a whole new way! Just wish it lasted a bit longer—it went by so fast!
Response from Host, Feb 2026
Thank you for your lovely review! We’re so glad you enjoyed seeing the city from a different perspective. We hope to welcome you back for another cruise soon.

We had a pleasant experience on the Golden Glow Sunset Sydney Harbour cruise. The sunset over the Harbour was beautiful, and being out on the water as the light changed was definitely the highlight of the evening. It’s a lovely way to see the skyline and enjoy the atmosphere at dusk.
The cruise itself was comfortable and well-organized. The overall experience was enjoyable and relaxing, with the scenery being the standout feature. A nice option if you’re looking for a scenic way to spend an evening on the Harbour.
Response from Host, Feb 2026

Loved this cruise of the harbour. The staff were lovely and food great. The size of this catamaran was perfect. Much better than the larger boats where you are sharing with so many people. Highly recommend!

A fantastic option to get the greatest views of Sydney without having to pick at food you may not enjoy. Great crew, nice boat, and fantastic wine options. Has a board of grapes and bread options as a light snack. Highly recommend!
Response from Host, Apr 2025
Thanks for the great review! We're glad you enjoyed the cruise, the crew, and the wine—and that the light snacks hit the spot. Appreciate the recommendation!

Great staff , good appetizers.
It was cloudy and rainy so we could not really enjoy the harbor & scenery .
On a sunny day it should be a great cruise .
Response from Host, Apr 2025
Appreciate your feedback! Glad you enjoyed the staff and appetizers. Hopefully, next time the weather will be on your side for an even better experience.

Fun experience at sunset. Convenient pick-up at Opera House. Pre-trip instructions and tickets could be better.
Response from Host, Feb 2025
Thank you for your feedback! We're glad you had a fun sunset experience and found the pick up convenient. We appreciate your comments on the pre-trip instructions, we're always looking for ways to improve. Hope to see you aboard again soon!
Nancy_K, Feb 2025
The boat ride was good, but there was no narration at all. Would have been more interesting and informative to explain the history and names of landmarks and architecture
Response from Host, Feb 2025

We understand that you may have been disappointed but we do our best to set expectations by noting on our booking page that this is not a guided tour. We truly appreciate your input and hope to welcome you aboard again for another beautiful ride!

Saheli_N, Jan 2025
We didn’t know what to expect as there were no photos but we had the best time. The starting point for the boat was easy to find, it slowly moved around Sydney harbor. There were also drinks on board and a cute charcuterie board. The lighting this time of day was exceptional and the opera house looked amazing by. This is how we spent our last night in Sydney and I can’t recommend it enough!!
