We were really pleased to be on a lovely smaller boat with comfortable seating for our Vivid champagne tour. Zane and Josh looked after us really well and what’s not to love about cruising around Sydney Harbour and beyond on a glorious night watching the light show. It gave us the view point for which the Vivid city and bridge lighting display had been designed. We felt very fortunate not to be on the big noisy boats or battling the crowds.
Fantastic time! The crew was extremely friendly and the boat was very clean and nice. I would highly recommend this to anyone who is looking for a great VIVID experience!
Took the kids out during Vivid; had an absolutely awesome time rugged up at the front of the boat, cruising around under the Harbour Bridge and seeing the Opera House up close.
The Concierge at our hotel (The Intercontinental Double Bay) highly recommended Sydney Harbor Boat Tours for a VIVID cruise on the first night of the event. We were not disappointed. The Champagne was of high quality, the staff was friendly and helpful. Ellie was exceptionally helpful. The craft was expertly guided through the busy bay allowing us excellent views of the VIVID displays. There was not a bad seat on the boat and friendly passengers rotated from the boats bow where photographing could be done 360 degrees. Wear comfortable clothes and dress warmly. Kudos to Sydney Harbors and staff for an exceptional experience!
A glass of Champagne in hand while a knowledgeable guide describes the fabulous homes of the rich celebrities and landmarks that surround this vast natural harbour. Best way to see the sights.
