Yes, if this is your first time in Sydney
Great Crew. The drinks and the appetizers were great. We had perfect weather and it was a beautiful skyline. Plenty of opportunities to take great pictures of the harbor, the famous bring and opera house. The Captain of the boat also shared with us interesting facts about Sydney while we were traveling. This is must experience if you are in Sydney for the first time. Seeing it from the water is great, and you will get a lot of awesome pictures. 10/10

This cruise is a Sydney highlight within itself!
We recently enjoyed a 1 hour harbour catamaran cruise with snacks, and it was simply fantastic! The breathtaking views of Sydney's iconic landmarks combined with the delicious nibbles made for a memorable experience. The crew were friendly and knowledgeable, answering questions of guests on board.
The departure location is right near the Sydney Opera House, so if you're short on time, definitely recommend planning these into your itinerary together. I would highly recommend this cruise to anyone looking to see the best of Sydney Harbour in a short amount of time. The ticket price is inexpensive and the cruise is worth every penny!
