You need to leave plenty of time to locate the boat as neither the name of the boat or its quay number are provided. We made it by the skin of our teeth. Thoroughly enjoyable, the food was plentiful and excellent.

Enjoyable way to see Sydney harbor

Loved touring the harbor. Lunch was very good. Music was pleasant. I think a short paragraph about Sydney harbor at the beginning would have enhanced the experience. We did not like how noisy the passengers were but we realize Vagabond Tours wasn’t responsible for that.

Great little cruise

Great cruise around the harbour. Fantastic quality food, but it was extremely hot and no aircon! Our butter was liquid... NO joke! Staff were friendly. Music fabulous!
