Excellent experience
Second time on this trip - I’m a sydney local and highly recommend taking international visitors out for the day

It was a great cruise...
It was a great cruise with multiple highlighted points of interest. The lunch buffet had multiple options for different tastes. The tour operator, Ron, was highly knowledgeable and engaging. I highly recommend this excursion.

Great cruise for a first day in Sydney
We booked this tour for the day we landed in Sydney, and it was a great way to get a feel for the layout of the city and the landmarks in the harbor. The lunch was also amazingly good: a delicious buffet of chicken, beef, pasta, seafood, and various other side dishes, as well as chocolate mousse for dinner. The only thing I'd change is that I'd have liked a little bit more commentary. Overall, we really enjoyed this lunch cruise!
M

Commentary by Ron was...
Commentary by Ron was awesome as was the food. Such a pity the weather wasn’t good. Couldn’t see much but otherwise good
C
It’s a lovely boat ride...
It’s a lovely boat ride in the Sydney harbour which includes a nice buffet style lunch which was a perfect starter to our Australian vacation being from Canada this allowed us to enjoy the harbour after a 20 + hour flight
D

S

A
Choppy but Not Bad
The food was good, with a good variety of options for lunch, some more basic snacks and others more of a meal. The dessert was limited to just one, there were no options. The ride was choppy (anytime another boat passed, large or small, the waves rocked our boat) but I don't get seasick, so I didn't mind. The guide/announcer was very knowledgable and personable. The time spent with family was well worth it, especially because one person had never been to Sydney before and the other I hadn't seen in over 20years.
