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.

Outstanding Private Harbour Experience

Great introduction to the city

Julie_B, Nov 2025

We took the cruise a few hours after arriving in the city and it was a great way to begin our vacation with a sparkling toast. The boat seated all six adults comfortably and despite a light rain the canopy kept us all dry. The driver was a lot of fun and so knowledgeable about the harbour and its history. Shani was so accommodating when we booked the cruise. It could not have been easier. Highly recommend this cruise.

Excellent! We did this on...

Excellent! We did this on our first day in town to relax after a long flight and get a feel for the city. Our captain Stephen was friendly, funny and very informative. I highly recommend this tour, especially for couples looking for an intimate, low-key experience.

Lot of fun in the Harbour

Nice boat ride, not great commentary from the captain

Ruth_R, Feb 2025

Lovely little boat, nice ride around the harbor. Not really a tour as the captain didn't share much information about the sights and he was difficult to understand at times. Expensive for the experience.

We loved this tour. The Venetian water taxi style of the boat was a welcomed change from all the other vessels, and Captain James was extremely knowledgeable. HIGHLY RECOMMEND.
