Great views - Easy to get to and absolutely stunning views! It is a must do, very cost effective. I got to see Sydney from the water which is pretty spectacular!

A Day in Sydney - There very few stops, for me the only worth going to was the zoo. You do get to see the beautiful downtown area as you're traveling on the boats.

Not as good is expected - Use the general ferries instead of the captain cook far more regular, and go from the the correct wharf.

Don’t visit on weekends - Took this cruise primarily to visit Manly island. Was very disappointed with the pick up location. Pier was taken over with local teens, throwing food and trash on the pier. We had to wait in the mess to be picked up. I know the cruise wasn’t responsible for the kids, but a better wharf should be located. Manly express boat would have been a better option.

Quick & Easy way to get around the harbor - Friendly staff, well organized operation. But it is just a boat ride. No narrative or explanation of what you are seeing. They have a QR code for an app that should have given audio, but I couldn't get it to work nor could the others seated near me.

Just a ferry - It’s just a ferry. No more, no less. There are also city public transportation ferries, usually at lower cost.

Not worth the money - You can do pretty much the same trip on the public ferry for a $1!! Paid for this in advance but wish I had waited and just brought a ferry ticket for $1 (51p in GBP) got the cruise to Watsons Bay and had lunch and then there wasn’t another ferry for ages so ended up pay the $1 to come back in the public ferry, basically paid out all that extra money for nothing. Feel slightly ripped off. All public transport is a $1 per journey.

Left at Watson Bay by HOHO - I always use HOHO and I’m very happy. This time i’m not. I follow the time schedule to watson bay and when I wanted to return on the 3:45pm pickup the boat was hidden and there was not an announcement to find them. I searched and they were in the back and they were leaving me behind. They keep saying they were going to BENTLY which isn’t part of the schedule. I didn’t want to wait another hour so I purchase an OPAL card to get me back to the wharf on the ferry. It was frustrating
