Go somewhere else

The cruise itself was great. The person who managed the on boarding of clients as they arrive was horrible. We arrived almost an hour early looking around for someone about where we were supposed to board in the circular quay. We checked repeatedly over that time, and there was never anyone at the kiosk or information provided. Finally at 12:15 before a 1220 boarding we began trying to find someone and sending out the word that we looking for someone because they were not clear directions on where to board at the dock. At 12:19 a man walked into the booth and I said we are here for the 1220 boat cruise. Literally his response was “not sure you can make it, it’s over there. You have one minute.” Then he laughed at us and we raced around the dock to make it “over there”. Had it not been for the gracious crew that saw us waving & yelling. we would’ve missed it. Never again will I take one of your cruises because they are great, but your people who work at the dock in the Booth were absent and absolutely terrible. I will also note that the couple who was behind us after seeing our experience, turned around and left.

Jeff was amazing

We were late and missed our boat but Jeff went above and beyond to accommodate us. Thank you, Jeff! We’ll be sure to book again when we visit Syd next time.

Interesting, entertaining and great value.

A fantastic way to spend an hour finding out about Sydney harbour. The trip was well organised and the staff were friendly. As expected, the commentary was interesting and witty (although I’m not sure all the passengers got all of the jokes). Overall, a great value excursion that I would definitely recommend.

Pretty views of the city

It was fun. Definitely go around sunset- the views are stunning. One thing for improvement: we couldn’t hear the speaker doing the tour. Even up close I couldn’t hear him well. Otherwise get there early for good seats. We sat in back and had nice views. Bring your own food and drinks but the trip is only an hour.
