Sydney Harbor Cruise
V5355CUbradleyh, October 2026
Great tour. Our guide did a great job of describing Sydney and the various areas. We arrived in the morning and did the 2:30 tour. It was a perfect for doing something low key after a long flight.

Great Tour

A fantastic way to see Sydney Harbour
We had a great time on this sightseeing tour, which was made extra special by our guide, Ron. He was incredibly personable, friendly, and knowledgeable about Sydney, sharing lots of interesting information and making the trip thoroughly enjoyable.
Unfortunately, the weather wasn’t the best on the day we visited, but this actually meant there were very few other guests on board. As a result, we had plenty of space to move around the boat and enjoy the views from different vantage points.
Despite the weather, we thoroughly enjoyed the experience and would definitely recommend this tour to anyone visiting Sydney.
Hopefully, you’ll be lucky enough to have Ron as your guide too! He really made the trip special. ⭐

Booked the latest cruise...
Susan_W, October 2026
Booked the latest cruise thinking it was sunset cruise as description mentioned morning afternoon or sunset. It was an okay experience but no where close to sunset.

Great crew, personable guide and lots of seating options
Sightsee61845608975, October 2026
Ron was a great guide. He was personable and very knowledgeable about Sydney. The boat itself had lots of options of where to sit and view the bay. The top floor is exposed to the elements but the workers were kind enough to dry the seats to give us the option to view the tour from the top. The whole experience was fabulous and I would certainly recommend it to anyone visiting Sydney.
