Pleasant way to see the harbor area, nice charcuterie plate, good view from upper deck, easy to book. However, there was some confusion about where and when to board, we had expected a commentary on what we were seeing, but that required us to download an app we would never use again! And use up the phone battery.
The Cruise started at about 1:30pn and ended 2.5 hrs later at 4pm in Kings Whatf. It was a memorable experience. It was a slow deliberate speed of the cruise ship at closest view of the harbour icons. There was much time to really enjoy the views. Very satisfied.
On time, nice boat, beautiful harbor, good service
Great short cruise with plenty of seats. The host was also super knowledgeable! Highly recommend. Free tea and coffee was a bonus, plus a bar for purchasing drinks if you want to. The top deck provided an excellent view all around.
Everything was too good , especially cleanliness and the guy who was doing commentary all along
Nice views of the harbor and Major sites. Would've given it a higher rating had we continued further east over to Watson's Bay, etc..
Tour was very interesting and the right length. Only slight issue was the catering staff made a lot of noise getting the lunch meal ready during our morning cruise, which meant we couldn't hear all the commentary at times.
fun and interactive experience :)
The live comment on the things (buildings, flags, boats, landscape...) I saw
Has Awesome time with family it would be great if some snakcs and juices were available on bord
getting a good overlook of Sydney Harbour
Absolutely great x friendly staff

The boat is perfect for whale watching. It goes at a steady pace, nice & comfortable. I sat in the stern & could see everything. Our marine biologist was easy to understand while she explained everything we were seeing. She explained how the whale numbers have improved & also how whales are so important to the ecology of our oceans. The crew were friendly, inspired confidence & were clear when they needed us to do something. The captain was easy to understand. I enjoyed our boat, the pace it travelled at & the freedom it gave me move around or just sit & take it all in. Thank you 😊
Easy booking Good customer service Experienced staff were able to find whales for us to watch
The knowledge of the marine biologist was awesome hearing from her
It was a good trip. Took some time to see the whales . Could not see close by as they were mostly far away
Was a tad disapointed as the only ! thing we seen was 1 whale tail .. would have liked to have seen more whales.. Owell ..maybe next time..
We don't see any whales in the trip The trip was very disappointing we wasted our money and time really bad experience
We had a great excursion. Within minutes of arriving to the area, we saw a cow and her young one. The on board guides were very good at explaining what we saw.
We managed to see 2 - 3 pods of humpback whales, for someone who lives miles away from the sea that was amazing. 1 thing you need to fix remove 7 Macquarie street from your meeting info.
Seeing the whales. We were fortunate enough to have some quite close. For those who do not have sea legs, be aware many got sea sick . This is not a fault, but something to be considered.
The information provided by the staff on board was fantastic and very informative. The whales were absolutely amazing, can't wait to come back to Sydney to come out whale watching again
The trip was well organised, kept to time, information given was relevant and interesting. Lots of whales!
We saw both whales and dolphins - excellent value for money!

Charged overseas transaction- reside in Sydney! Website required downloading an app. to see my ticket!? Should be available with confirmation. Dissatisfied with Lunch - poor quality beef. Cruise of Sydney Harbour disappointing - only to Middle Harbour & halfway through, returning to pickup more passengers. Music entertainment was good. This was a 40th Wedding Anniversary special occasion so unfortunately didn't rate to the high expectations we had looked forward to.
The food was fresh and tasted great. The service was excellent
Amazing views. Very efficient process. Waitstaff very friendly and excellent at their jobs
The service was fantastic, and great food.
Peaceful cruise, nice food and we were able to disembark at central quay
Every thing went smoothly and we loved taking visitors on a cruise to experience Sydney. They can take pictures of the Harbour bridge, Opera House and the surrounding buildings. Lunch was very good.
An iconic treat for visitors to Sydney. Provides an immersive, luxurious experience showcasing Sydney's magnificent harbour. Try for a weekday lunch, as it is less busy.
Food was excellent and staff were very friendly and attentive. Weather was amazing and they let us stay on for an extra couple hours which was great because the weather was amazing
Professional services and good cruises course
Stress free and informal but comfortable

We loved the whole experience. The staff were friendly and professional. Once on the deck, the views of the surroundings of the Opera House and the Harbour Bridge were spectacular. The meal was fresh and delicious. Can recommend!
We made it just in time due to Vivid road closures but once on board the experience was wonderful. We felt we were well taken care of and the food was excellent.
Lovely evening! Was great to see the lights turn in for Vivid. Service was good, food was delicious and generous. Pity it was a 'quick' trip!
Meal and service very good, cruise was good, probably the later cruise would have been better to view more of the light show. Very satisified.
My wife and I enjoyed the hospitality of server "John" - a young man from Brazil studying engineering. We also appreciated the way in which an older Japanese couple were taken care of by a Japanese speaking crew member. Please pass these compliments onto Sydney 2000.
When I booked the ticket I got confirmation that all experience's on the boat would be wheelchair friendly, I even got an email confirming this. Was very surprised and annoyed that I wasnt able to go to the top floor of the boat like all your other guests. Please make it aware on your website, for future disabled wheelchair guests that they are not able to go to the top floor and will need to stay on the bottom floor. I am sure that the top and bottom tickets have got a different price!!! Myself and my husband coudn't even enjoy the live entertainment. I must admit I didn't really enjoy the expereince because of this. Feel sad that because you in a wheelchair, we not able to expereince the full expereinces like other guests.
We loved the food, the service and the incredible views. The ticketing was very easy to do. I would certainly recommend the cruise to my friends in both The Netherland as Australia if they were going to visit Sydney.
Someone should have explained the areas of what we were seeing where the ship was going other than being familiar with the Operation house and Sydney Harbour bridge. Even a taped recording will do of where the ship was passing thru. I expected the food was going to be special and not very ordinary.
From boarding to getting back off this was an amazing experience. The staff were amazing. Meal was delicious. Thank you all for looking after us
Lovely food! Great view! Saw all the sights on a beautiful boat 👌

The access we had to viewing everything and the host was very good and informative throughout the trip. And I was interviewed with the 7 news while we're on whale watching
The overall experience was very interesting and fascinating, the expert guide was really informative about the whales. I had a problem with seasickness and the crew helped me promptly.
Could not have good sighting of the whales. It was a blink-and-miss kind of experience. I was expecting little more sightings.

The lunch was nice, views were nice. Just a little side note on the commentary - slightly sexist perhaps not mention things like "women can't..." Appreciate the crew and the effort.
Buffet Food was fabulous and plentiful! The on board commentary was interesting and informative. We really enjoyed the trip and recommend it!
The food on the luncheon cruise was delicious & the commentary by Ron was excellent. Thoroughly enjoyed our experience.
The Boat and food was great. The staff were very friendly and professional.
Very relaxing - good commentary
The Buffet was delicious and Ron's commentary insightful. It was was an enjoyable cruise
Narrator was excellent and very kind.
I like this harbour experience , it values itself with a provided buffet. Good for tourists !
A good cruise on a sunny bleezy day. Appreciate the Captain's knowledgeable and meaningful sharing of various spots along the coastline of the Sydney harbour. A steady ride help photo-taking, good buffet lunch on board at a reasonable price together with a friendly team of staff serving ..... Relaxing and enjoyable! Thank you!
The boat, comentator, and workers were all great, however the food was mediocre and they did not provide enough for everyone on the boat. the wait for food was long so by the time we got tothe front the food had dwinded. Many did not get dessert.
Everything was very good and the meal was a wonderful surprise. My only disappointment was the commentary which I couldn't clearly hear from where I was sitting.
Easy to book and lovely hosts. Highly recommend
Staff n food n commentary excellent highly recommend!
Very well arranged. Sightseeing along with commentary was very good. Food was good. All in all worth to do it.
We loved the cruise so much, my sister who I care for had never been to Sydney so it was so great to show her the harbour with all it has to offer. The food was first class and the commentary very imformative.
Loved the ease of registration & boarding. The staff very helpful & friendly Lovely food Buffet was only upstairs & staff helped my son carry food down for me as I can't do stairs Explanation of the Shore sites excellent
Easy to book online. Lunch was excellent. Very relaxing & guide was informative. Coffee station was excellent. Loved seeing the dolphins!
Food was good but dessert was poor. Guide talked way too much about real estate prices. He never shut up so we could not talk to our guests .
Ticketing experience was very good. Overall the cruise was good. Good food. Perhaps could have had free cold water available.

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.
Staff helpfull, very informative. Lunch was great and so much more than we expected. Vessell was clean. We saw dolphins, whales and a seal seas were a little rough but captain and crew did an aweome job
There were 3 of us, first time whale watching and we were amazed we saw a pod of dolphins then some humpback whales breaching and got to see a Mum and baby. The commentary was fantastic, the buffet lunch was lovely. The staff were awesome, can't wait to go again. It was 10 out of 10.
Seeing the whales up close and hearing facts abut them.
Great crew, great food, and awesome tour.
Seeing the whale's and being able to watch them in their natural environment 😁
Ticket purchase was easy. The activity was good. Very organised and food was plenty. Saw plenty of whales and dolphins too!
Did not see any whale. Only 3 seals. Very choppy sea condition and many people seasick. If weather not good snd slim chance to see whale then headout should have cancel the trip instead. Cruise staff said will give free voucher for rebooking but I have not received any yet. And if rebooking can only be done the following week I believe most customers must have already left Sydney to take advantage of it.

Enjoyed the routes, scenery and narration. Best hop-on hop-off tour we've done!
The headout ticketing system worked perfectly and we used the tour to see Sydney in one day! It was the perfect way to see the whole city with s couple of dtops at major sites of interest! Well worth it
It showed me around Sydney in the limited time I had. So wonderful to keep coming back the the harbour when I thought we were well away from it.
Ticketing was easy and went smooth, service was great and Sydney views awesome.
Best way to discover Sydney, understand its history and move around!
No needbto navigate traffic and the commentary
Great day out, good info coming through the headphones about the local history of each area as we passed through. Get on and off at any stop you like. Nth Bondi RSL for lunch was yummo.
Very well organized. Quick response to questions by email. Efficient and friendly staff at route n*1. Interesting trip. Only downside: I couldn't hear the audio guide very well on the bus. Pleasant Captain Cook cruise, even more beautiful at 7:30 p.m.

Best way to familiarise ourselves with Sydney and Bondi. Got to see all the major tourist attractions and the ease of getting on and off where we pleased was awesome.
The ticketing experience turned out to be a nightmare for us. We needed to unlock our International online bank app to pay you. Didn't realise your company was based in Berlin. When we opened the banking app we were immediately scammed for $200. Next time we pay cash...it's safer
We had a GREAT time on both the bus and the water cruise! We only went on the red route and not the blue route. There was a problem getting them to honor our ticket for the cruise. The information on the code was just for the bus, but not the cruise, even though the cruise was in the title. After working with the folks from The Big Bus, we got it straightened out. Apparently, you're using an older code. The bus trip was great about hitting all the highlights of the city.
What we loved was that we were able to see all the Sydney attractions and pick the ones we wanted to stop off to see or com back another time.
The harbor tour was basically just a boat, no explanation of what we were seeing
Got to see a lot of different things. The app was a good improvement.
Very easy to book, but the stops are not very well identified we had to look quite a while to find it
The first driver was so friendly and helpful.
Really nice experience to know Sydney
The waiting time to the next hop on is too long.
