Great way to see the sites from the water. Not too busy and easy to board. Just what you would expect

Gentle harbour cruise with well informed guide

The retired guide told many great stories about Sydney, Australia, the animals in the harbour basin etc. Nice to see the harbour from the water.

Harbour Cruise.

Absolute fantastic tour of everything from the harbour. Very relaxing and informative. The premium package which includes a drink and cheese plate is very good value and the perfect thing to enjoy while enjoying the view.

Bad app

Viator app is poor wouldn’t deliver tickets through the app. Had to get tickets through the vendor at the wharf. Cruise was cut short due to late arrival

Unusual commentary delivery

The commentary is through one’s phone so you need to download the app and have ear plugs - not ideal and inconvenient.
