We had a fantastic afternoon enjoying the sights of the magnificent Sydney Harbour. The commentary was very interesting and informative and the buffet lunch was delicious. We'll definitely be back for another cruise next time we're in Sydney!

Enjoyed every minute of it. Big thank you to Ron's lovely commentry, delicious food and the whole experience. Would highly recommend to anyone.

Go for a couple of blissful hours on the waters of Sydney as you sail in a first-class vessel, cruising the Sydney Harbour and savoring a lunch buffet.

Lunch with a view: We're talking a delicious buffet spread – think Thai spiced chicken, Aussie prawns, pesto pasta, Moroccan salads, and desserts.

There's more to Sydney's landmarks than meets the eye! The guide will go beyond the postcard views, revealing stories behind the Opera House and more.

This cruise is perfect for explorers of all ages. Kids will be enthralled by the sights, and adults will appreciate the relaxing escape.

Did you know? Aboriginal Gadigal people are the traditional owners of the land around Sydney Harbour!

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.
