The onboard commentary was excellent, learned all sorts of interesting facts we would not have heard about by just going on one of the regular ferries that leave Circular Quay. Well worth the fare. Thanks to all the staff on board and on the dock. We would definitely recommend your tour.

Beyond the tourist trail

Close your eyes and imagine the Sydney Harbour bathed in the warm glow of afternoon sun. The usual tourist bustle fades away as you step onto a sleek catamaran for your sightseeing cruise. Settle into a comfortable spot on the deck, a steaming cup of coffee warming your hands as the city skyline unfolds before you. The iconic Opera House gleams in the sunlight, gliding past the Harbour Bridge and sailing past bobbing sailboats

A moment of peace

The experienced and knowledgeable guide will tell you facts and even secrets about landmarks like Sydney Botanical Gardens and the Opera House as you pass by them. This cruise is the best way to start on a calm note with friends and family. Even on the weekends, if you’d like to squeeze in a little quiet time, this cruise is the perfect fit for you. For an extra touch of indulgence, a delicious spread of Australian cheeses and charcuterie awaits (upgrade available!). Elevate this serene experience into a gourmet delight as you savor the flavors and soak in the sights.
