I recently did the Sydney Harbour Hop-On Hop-Off Cruise with a visit to Taronga Zoo, and despite some rain, it was an enjoyable and memorable experience. The cruise itself was a fantastic way to explore Sydney’s iconic harbor, offering beautiful views of landmarks like the Sydney Opera House and Harbour Bridge. The flexibility of the hop-on, hop-off system allowed us to explore at our own pace, and it was convenient to stop at different locations along the harbor. Unfortunately, the weather was a bit rainy during the day, which limited the time we could spend outside on the boat. But even with the rain, the views from inside were still spectacular. Taronga Zoo was the highlight of the trip, especially getting to see Australia’s unique wildlife. The zoo is beautifully designed, with incredible views of the harbor as a backdrop. Overall, while the rain put a slight damper on the experience, the hop-on hop-off cruise and visit to Taronga Zoo were still fantastic. It’s a perfect way to see Sydney’s famous harbor and spend time with nature at the zoo. I would recommend this to anyone visiting Sydney.

booked at last minute on a sunny winter day - I visited Manly Beach and Watson's Bay - lots of room on board and all sailings were on time - a great way to see the harbour. Visiting from Scotland!

Once sorted out it was excellent. Enjoyed it all and got where we wanted to go with a tour also. The difficulty was it told us to go to one pier on Sat-Sun but it was wrong! Fortunately the agent saw us and quickly fixed it.
