    My wife and I did not have high expectations for the dinner cruise and were very pleasantly surprised. The food and atmosphere were excellent, there was nice music played during dinner plus dancing music after dinner and our waitress (Casey) provided superb service. We would highly recommend the Captain Cook 4 Course Dinner Cruise to anyone visiting Sydney.

    An absolutely unforgettable experience! The small boat made the whale watching feel personal and up close – we saw several whales, including one breaching right in front of us! It was magical. The crew was knowledgeable, friendly, and clearly passionate about marine life. They made us feel safe and well-informed the whole time. If you’re in Sydney and want something special, this is a must-do. Perfect for nature lovers and anyone looking for a unique, awe-inspiring moment. Highly, highly recommended!
