Great time
Great experience, Jason our captain was friendly and informative. There were six on the boat and very comfortable.

Outstanding Private Harbour Experience
This private boat tour was a highlight of our time in Sydney. The harbour views were spectacular, and the small group size allowed the captain to provide personalized commentary and share deep knowledge of the area. A wonderful way to experience Sydney from the water — highly recommend.

Great introduction to the city
We took the cruise a few hours after arriving in the city and it was a great way to begin our vacation with a sparkling toast. The boat seated all six adults comfortably and despite a light rain the canopy kept us all dry. The driver was a lot of fun and so knowledgeable about the harbour and its history. Shani was so accommodating when we booked the cruise. It could not have been easier. Highly recommend this cruise.

Excellent! We did this on...
Excellent! We did this on our first day in town to relax after a long flight and get a feel for the city. Our captain Stephen was friendly, funny and very informative. I highly recommend this tour, especially for couples looking for an intimate, low-key experience.

Wonderful guide and views
We did the 90 minute private cruise with a banquet at China Doll afterwards and it was absolutely fantastic. Our guide was lovely and friendly and very knowledgeable. We saw a beautiful sunset on our tour and the meal afterwards was delicious. They were also happy to amend our banquet to a full vegan version with no trouble. The staff and food were wonderful and I would definitely recommend this.

Memorable Experience
We had such a fantastic experience on the 90 minutes Sydney highlights cruises on MV Bel. We had booked the trip for a birthday celebration and I'm so glad we did. Very memorable, MV Bel was beautiful and very well kept, and with a very friendly captain. Nice tour around the harbour to see all the main sights including a couple of places we haven't been before. Highly recommend - thanks again!
