The food selection was fantastic and the actual foods were top quality. The spinach and pumpkin salad was my favorite. Our server was extraordinarily sweet. The boat is nice and the views are unrivaled. Easy embarking and disembarking.

We enjoyed a beautiful harbor cruise. Boarding was right on time and our table by the window was ready. Our server was very attentive and the food was exceptionally good for this kind of event. We love a dinner cruise and even though we are boarding a huge cruise ship soon this was a good choice!

It was such a wonderful experience, as we traveled to celebrate my son's birthday. They individually celebrated each persons special day at dessert time lighting a small candle. I would recomend this to anyone who wishes to have a wonderful experience. Staff were very courteous and helpful. Wonderful memories.

Good food and great views! Staff was also so accommodating and great to chat with. Definitely a fun activity to do if you have a free evening.

Great views

Allison_K, Mar 2026
It was a wonderful view of the Harbour, the Opera House and the Bridge. Unfortunately it rained half way through so the opportunity to take good pictures was lost. I had the lamb which was good but my husband had the salmon which was very dry and tasteless. Other than that it was a good experience.

Good value for the money

Matthew_F, Mar 2026
Very easy to access right in downtown Sydney within walking distance of many Hotels, dinner courses were served in a very timely manner, food choices varied with 4 selections in each course, very good food and wonderful desserts. Would recommend

Nice relaxing cruise. Lasted right at 2 hours.

Brenda_H, Mar 2026
The tour was pretty nice, and just as I expected as we enjoyed for our anniversary. The server we had was very good, but I do think that her English could stand to be a little bit better.

Great way to see the many harbors of Sydney! Food was excellent, staff attentive. We got some excellent pictures of the harbor.

Dinner was delicious. The staff were great and the night lights of the buildings were gorgeous. I'd recommend it and I would definitely go again.

Magic experience and would do it again

Brian_A, Mar 2026
To be able to see more of the harbor, we had family from overseas and they just loved it, and if they came back, they would definitely do it again

Wonderful dinner cruise

Great Sydney getaway

Svetlana_C, Mar 2026
Definitely we spent a great time on this cruise, everything was nice except the weather but we understood that nothing we can do about. Thanks for dinner: the food was delicious and service was good.

Upsetting special birthday celebration

Christina_L, Mar 2026
Having previously been on a Captain Cooke dinner cruise this was the most unimpressive experience. Ship is less than comfortable, way too many tables squashed in. Food was seriously below expectation. One meal had to go back as it was cold. Chicken which is food poisoning waiting to happen!!! All together a very disappointing evening. The Harbour is always superb and even this cruise couldnt spoil the outlook if you were able to see it for the number of tables.

Dan_M, Mar 2026
The trip was lovely and the food was very good. Of course the views are just amazing. We got lucky to see a boat race as well. Only recommendation would be to turn the music down a little lower. It was hard for us to hear each other. Keep up the good work

Sunset on Sydney Harbour

bec975, Mar 2026
I loved the sunset dinner cruise on Sydney harbour, it was especially nice as an added bonus to have the live music performance.

A must do !

Kenneth_P, Feb 2026
Great boat fabulous staff delicious food excellent price very scenic 2hr cruise on the harbour I will definitely rebook ?

Great Harbor Tour

Robert_P, Feb 2026
Easy to find the location. Crew, food and drinks were great. The views were great from anyplace on the boat, topside and just from your widow table. Had a great tour and glad we did it. Great price for what you get.

Harbour dinner cruise

kathy_M, Feb 2026
Food was good. Service food. We bought a window seat which I really liked. We spent last 20 minutes on the top for extra great view and wxperience

Never again.

Kimberly_K, Feb 2026
The experience was awful. I felt like our group was put in the kids corner. Kids from another party running and screaming around loudly. In and out the doors. The only saving grace was that the food was pretty good. But definitely with all that noise it was not pleasurable. Would not recommend.

Great dinner and views.

Rhonda_K, Feb 2026
The food was fantastic, as was the service. Live music was very nice. The boat was clean and organized. The views were amazing.

Cruise was nice, dinner was just ok

Keith_K, Feb 2026
Great views of sites from the ship. The food was somewhat hit and miss and the service was just ok(our server brought out dessert before we had our entree). Probably wouldn’t do it again.

Wonderful experience.

Lynda_Q, Feb 2026
Beautiful food, lovely friendly staff and just a great atmosphere. Even though it wasn't the best weather we did get to see the amazing views through Sydney harbour

Trip to remember

Just a wonderful way to enjoy. Sydney Harbour and a wonderful meal. Had the four course dinner absolutely delicious

Stuart_D, Feb 2026
Food was great, staff was great, and views while cruising were great. The only negative is that they overlap cruises between two docks, and halfway thru ours, folks from the cruise before us finished, and folks for the subsequent one started. So we spent 30 minutes at the other dock while the prior and subsequent passengers deboarded and boarded. It wasn’t clear that 25% of the 2 hour cruise was going to be spent just sitting still while that happened.

This is a MUST do!

Great value for the price. Excellent service by friendly professional staff. Information and details were communicated well. Food and entertainment was top quality.

Ok trip but didn’t sail enough

Anonymous, Feb 2026
We stopped over 30 minutes at another wharf. That was not fun. Wanted to be sailing the entire time!

Fun evening on the water.

Mimi_C, Jan 2026
Our tour started out in Wharf 6. It turned out that our hotel was less than ten minutes away. We put it into our Apple walking map and unfortunately we still could not find it after 30 minutes. We were directed all over, but where we needed to go. If you are a traveler trying to find this very central location and cannot, then please ask someone. The walking Apple map cell phone map use was a mistake. The actual sailing / dining experience was wonderful and I would strongly recommend it. The service folks were very acomodating. The local water / city tour while eating our deliscious meals was a lot of fun and we would do it again if we ever get a chance to revisit Sydney.

The food and service were very poor. The waitstaff appeared focused solely on selling alcoholic beverages.
