    We had so much fun seeing the whales up close. It was a memorable experience because we saw a mum and its calf. The whales are everywhere. The crew were also amazing, plus the buffet was great.

    We went on the Sydney Harbour sightseeing cruise yesterday, and it was such a wonderful experience from start to finish! The views of the Opera House, Harbour Bridge, and city skyline were absolutely stunning — the perfect way to appreciate Sydney’s beauty from the water. Our tour guide was funny, engaging, and incredibly informative. They shared fascinating stories and fun facts about Sydney’s history and landmarks, keeping everyone entertained the entire time. Even our teen boys had a great time, which says a lot! The boat was clean, comfortable, and spacious, with plenty of room to move around and take photos. The bar staff were super friendly and offered a great selection of beverages — both alcoholic and non-alcoholic — so there was something for everyone to enjoy. We’d highly recommend this cruise to anyone visiting Sydney or even locals wanting to see the city from a new perspective. It’s the perfect mix of sightseeing, fun, and relaxation!

    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!
