I had a great time. It was a smaller crowd due to weather. However it held off for the length of the cruise. I sat at the top deck, the commentary was easy to hear and understand. The information was interesting and entertaining. Would definitely recommend.

      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.

      Nice tour of harbor on a sunny day with good commentary, get in line early if you want covered shade upper deck seats.

      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.

      Great Harbor Cruise

      Colleen_W, Mar 2026
      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.

      Informative one hour Harbour cruise

      The guide on the cruise spoke very clearly and was easy to understand. He pointed out and gave background in the various sights we passed. I would recommend this cruise.

      Stuart_A, Feb 2026
      Passengers taking photos often rude and children were left unsupervised. Otherwise it was a very interesting experience

      Cheryl_S, Feb 2026
      This was a very reasonable and pleasant excursion. The guide provided interesting history, and we could easily get great pictures of the bridge and opera house.

      Not to be missed.

      Beth_S, Jan 2026
      WE did a 5pm cruise and it was very enjoyable. Less Harbor traffic and the weather was so enjoyable. The young gentleman who did the commentary was very good and enjoyable to listen to.

      Great day

      Wayde_F, Jan 2026

      When it's hot, jump on a cruise like this, you will never regret it! Loved the sightseeing and the mild wind!

      Great Way to see the harbor!

      jennifer_b, Jan 2026
      Great value for the Dollar! Awesome tour of the harbor… We recommend highly! Largest harbor in the world!

      Poor show at exorbitant price

      JavedAhmad_S, Jan 2026
      The harbour cruise was more like a real estate showcasing by the guide which no one would be interested in. For us we would have loved to know the history and background about darling harbour in a more lucid manner. You can cover the places by new South Wales government ferries at one fourth the price. Tea and coffee is not available though it was charged.
