シドニーハーバー・トールシップ・ランチクルーズ

I'm a bit of a nautical nerd, but this experience had something for everyone. I was absolutely thrilled with the boat, mast climb and helping out with the rigging and setting of sails. And both my wife and I enjoyed learning more about the history and sights around the harbor from our extremely knowledgeable crew, but particularly the host, Howard. This guy knew every nook and cranny, and seemed to have a story about every one. Vibe was super casual and friendly. Oftentimes with these sorts of tours you're pretty limited as to where you can go and what you can do. Here, beyond a few obvious safety related restrictions you had free reign to explore the ship, chat with the captain and crew, and hang out on whatever part of the deck felt most comfortable. Highly recommended. I know that if I ever find myself back in Sydney I'd book another outing; maybe even the multi-day trip to Tasmania.

James and the team were fantastic.. The food was nice and the views spectacular. Interactive, helping set the sails and steering the ship. Great value for money.

We actually ended up on the dinner cruise as a result of not enough people wanting to go on the lunch cruise. Actually turned out to be a blessing, what a lovely time to sail through the harbour as the city starts to light up for the evening. The beginning of the sunset was beautiful behind the bridge too. The crew were all brilliant, and our host Howard was very friendly and approachable with lots of knowledge and interesting facts. The food was plentiful and tasty, and we enjoyed it along with a beer we bought from the bar. I actually took up the added extra option of climbing up to the crows nest. What a great view from up there and well worth the experience in my opinion. All in all a great cruise, and the ship was a really good alternative to the usual motor cruisers and an experience we really enjoyed. I would recommend this cruise, it was good value for money and we really enjoyed ourselves.

We received a message from Viator that the vendor was asking if we could move our lunch booking to the evening as he hadn’t had sold sufficient tickets for the trip. We were asked to confirm asap. We immediately messaged them that this wasn’t possible and waited for a reply. Three hours later we had heard nothing so tried to ring them. No answer. We couldn’t cancel for a refund as it was within 24 hours of the trip. We contacted Viator who also couldn’t get a reply. At this point Viator refunded us our payment and we booked elsewhere. We only had two days in Sydney and one of them was wasted sending messages , waiting for replies that didn’t come and then looking for alternative trips to book whilst rearranging where to meet friends who were joining us. We get that companies sometimes have to cancel due to lack of bookings but it’s totally out of order to leave those who have booked just hanging around for information that doesn’t come. I have never left a one star review before but have no choice here.

Booked with Viator from who we received a message less than 24 hours before the trip that the operator wanted to know if we could switch from lunchtime to evening as they didn’t have many bookings. We immediately messaged the company that we couldn’t do that and waited for their response. Three hours later and we had heard nothing. Tried ringing. No answer. Contacted Viator who also got no answer. If we cancelled the trip ourselves we would have lost our money as it was within 24 hours. Viator very helpful and made immediate refund do we could book elsewhere. I get that some trips have to be cancelled and have never left a one star review before but this company should have had the courtesy to respond to our messages. It turned one of only two days we had in Sydney in to one of constantly checking messages and having to research and book an alternative trip for the next day. Not good enough.

Really enjoyed our first cruise on a sailing ship. Staff very friendly. Great way to see the harbour. Sailing under the harbour bridge a highlight.

Originally booked a lunch cruise however due to lack of numbers we changed to a twilight dinner cruise. We boarded the Southern Swan and motored out to where the sails could be raised, then glided around the harbour seeing the Opera House, botanical garden, Lady Macquarie's chair, Garden Island, Fort Denison, Taronga Zoo, Luna Park, Kirribilli House, Admiralty House, and back to the Harbour Bridge. Appetisers were served whilst we motored out and then a dinner of Butter Chicken, Vegetable Curry, rice and salad was served while we were under sail. Highly recommend this adventure.

Amazing experience in a sailing ship. Better understanding of how people in the olden days traveled. Great view of iconic sites in the harbour.

Absolutely brilliant time out food was great staff fantastic included everyone for getting involved, lots of facts would definitely recommend.

Totally awesome tour!!! Great staff- knowledgeable & lots of fun, wonderful sights & one of our best tours from our 28 day cruise around Australia!!! This tour is a must when in Sydney!!
