5.00Great service. Lovely views of Sydney. Excellent bottle of the Wirra Wirra Shiraz on the waiter’s recommendation (Adelaide produces the best wines!). Just under 3 hours in total but felt vey leisurely.
Fantastic experience

5.00We booked this for Australia Day as we had done it a couple of years ago and it was just as good this time. We had a 4 course meal and drinks. The staff were amazing, the food and drinks were really good but the icing on the cake was seeing the fireworks as the boat hovers between the Opera house and the bridge. What a fab experience
Great time

Highly highly recommend!

5.00A great way to experience the bridge and Opera house. Service is very quick and friendly but don’t expect fine dining. Spend the extra for a window seat like we did otherwise you will spend the trip staring at the people who are sat in that spot to see past them
First time in Sydney

5.00We loved this Sydney harbour cruise. The weather was perfect. A lovely warm sunny evening. The tables were set out beautifully on the boat. The staff were very attentive. We were really impressed with the food. The canapés, starters, mains and desserts were all delicious. There was a really singer to entertain us too. A very enjoyable evening.
