We went from Wharf 6 in Sydney harbour, the boat was comfortable with great visibility, we sat on the upper deck. The experience was brilliant, the commentary was informative and interesting. Brilliant from start to finish.

      It was nice and clean , but I don’t think that we had very much history and information while on the tour

      Great Cruise

      Marianne_A, Jun 2026
      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.

      It was an amazing day in Sydney. The stunning views of the Sydney Opera House and Harbour Bridge were unforgettable. Learning about Aboriginal culture made the experience even more meaningful and deepened my appreciation and love for this beautiful city.

      Excellent cruise on Sydney Harbour.

      Stephen_Y, May 2026

      This is a fantastic harbour cruise that hits all of the essentials. It you only have an hour to spare, this tour is really the best option. Our guide kept the tour light but informative.

      Get there early for a good seat outside. Otherwise you are inside and the views aren't as good. Go around sunset for the best shots of the bridge and opera bldg

      Nice boat ride

      Stephen_b, Apr 2026
      Nice trip around Sydney harbor. If you're short of time this shows most of the sights . I really wasn't looking for a dinner cruise so this worked well.

      This was a nice way to see part of Sydney. Riley was our guide and he did a great job. He was very informative!

      Highly recommended

      Debra_H, Mar 2026
      This was a really great trip. I’ve lived in Sydney for 68 years and saw things I’d never seen before. The guy who was giving the commentary was very good and informative. It happened to be the 125th celebration of the Australian Navy and we were quite close to the ships that came in for the celebration. It was a great trip.

      Great Tour

      Garrett_K, Mar 2026
      Well worth the time and money! Highly recommend! I had a limited amount of time in Sydney and wanted to see as much as possible. This trip was a great choice.

      Fantasia was the operator of the excursion. They were on time, and the one hour tour of the harbor was perfect for anyone new to Sydney. The narration was informative and just enough.

      Robert_S, Mar 2026
      Very smooth ride and informative. The speakers didn't work great on the exterior front and back sections of the boat. So if the narration is important to you grab a seat inside.
