very convenient And easy to use

Very useful for getting around the harbour. Amazing views and photos of the Opera House, and it’s very convenient if you’re not very familiar with public transport and the timetables.

Check out city offerings first

First check out the city ferries before you buy this. We bought this not knowing city ferries were available and travel the same routes for cheaper. We didn’t need the hop on and off feature. Only wanted to go to manly beach and back. We could spent a lot less money.

Well worth it on a beautiful day!!

The crew was knowledgable and friendly. Stops were easy to hop on and hop off and we had enough time in each location to explore. I highly recommend staying on the boat for the full tour and listening to all the points of interest along the way. Fascinating!!

Zoo not included

It was misleading as when we picked up our tickets it seemed to us the zoo was included. It was not and the tram was not working and there were no buses so long hike. We were worn out by the time we climbed to the top and back down.

Operator response

Hi Recreation7, Thank you for taking the time to leave a review. We sincerely apologise for the confusion experienced during your visit and appreciate you bringing this to our attention. Our Sydney Harbour Hop On Hop Off Explorer Pass offers several ticket options. The standard pass includes unlimited ferry travel between key harbour destinations such as Circular Quay, Taronga Zoo Wharf, Watsons Bay, Shark Island and Manly for the duration of the ticket. However, zoo entry is not included with the Hop On Hop Off ferry pass unless a guest specifically purchases the Taronga Zoo package, which combines the ferry transfer with zoo admission. Please note that zoo entry and internal transport within Taronga Zoo are managed directly by the zoo and are not included with the ferry-only ticket. We apologise again for any misunderstanding and hope this explanation helps clarify the different services provided. Your feedback is greatly appreciated. Best regards, Captain Cook Cruises

Highly tecommend

Booked a 2 day ticket which was great. Timetable given at kiosk so can plan which stops you want to get off and on easily. Staff very helpful. Lovely to get out of City and explore other places. Loved Manly. Views on approaching harbour on return were outstanding and highly recommend this trip.
