Great staff, safety measures, lots of speed, views, length of time and location if you near the Circular Quay.

Easy peasy to book the tour, and lots of excitement on the other side! Just steps away from all the action on the Circular Quay!

Great way to learn about Sydney

This was a great introduction to the history of the area and the beginnings of Sydney. Our guide George was excellent! Super informative and engaging- even for my teen sons. It was well paced and we all enjoyed it.

The ride was good but photos disappointing

The ride on the boat itself was very good, lots of fun, however very disappointed with the photo package. The kids were seated directly behind tall people so couldn't see them at all in the videos. And I'd asked if we could go at the front and got told no, even though there was plenty of space. No cameras allowed on board so we essentially got a few selfies (they provided a selfie cam near the end) and thats it.

Birthday present for grandkids seven and eight. They loved it and so did my husband.

Rained the night before so our bums got wet when we sat down, so make sure you sit on your poncho. Other than that our clothes didn’t get wet just our faces.

Good fun!

Kylie was our captain and did a great job. It was fast, fun and little wet. They provided ponchos which were needed.

Do it!

What a fun way to see Sydney Harbour from the water. You won’t have time to gaze long at the sights, and cameras and phones are not allowed, but you will see it all, albeit while spinning, swerving, and jumping waves! There is a locked box on the dock where you’ll be able to stow valuables or anything you don’t want to get wet - and you WILL GET WET; but you’ll be provided ponchos that will mostly keep your clothes dry.
