Sydney Harbour Cruises

Loved this experience. First time in Sydney and a few days to spend sightseeing prior to the Ashes. I chose the midday trip as it included a meal which was really good. Well prepared dishes with plenty of choice and no feeling that if you weren't at the front there wouldn't be enough to go around. The commentary kept us informed of queue length so we I didn't miss any of the sights. Over 2 hours on the boat and not a dull moment with a full commentary of interesting facts and places to see. I particularly like it that the captain stopped the boat so we could get some good pictures of the Opera House from the far side of the Harbour Bridge. Boat was clean and looked well cared for. I'd recommended having the trip at the start of a visit as it gives you ideas of other places to visit (Zoo, Maritime Museum, Manly etc). You obviously also see views and aspects of other Sydney landmarks that are not possible from the land. Thoroughly enjoyable start to my visit.

Staff very efficient and friendly. All the different bay sights really great in good weather. Alighted only at Manly (very viby) - DeVita restaurant outstanding. Returned to Circular Key and visited the Opera House.

Pleasant way to see Sydney from the water, good photo opportunities. Friendly staff and good commentary. Free tea and coffee
