High Tea and Happy People - It was a fabulous experience with great food and amazing staff. They catered so well to our food allergies and never made us feel like it was a bother. I would definitely recommend Captain Cook Cruises for any water excursions. The seating along the windows of the vessel gave unmatched views of the Harbour Bridge and the Opera House. It was also one of the best high teas I have ever had. Come hungry because there is a lot of food! I would definitely recommend. It as a must do in your Sydney itinerary.

Fantastic High Tea Solo Harbour Tour Experience! - Amazing views, took a shorter 1.5 hour cruise because I was short on time but wanted to see all the main sites from the water. The high tea was good. I went solo and the amount of food on the tea trays was amazing, way more than I could eat, so overall a great value. Also came with champagne and hot tea. (Simple Twinings tea bag selection).

Excellent way to see the harbour! - This was a great afternoon on the harbour. There was a lot of delicious food including sandwiches, quiches, scones and cakes. I strongly recommend after you finish eating you go to the top deck of the boat for the glorious harbour views.

Best high tea ever. ... - Best high tea ever. Staff were great and food was amazing. My only complaint is that when booking the cost is in US dollars which is not shown until payment made. In saying this was well worth the money, would just like it to be clear on booking.

Afternoon tea with class - The wonderful ship ride around Sydney Harbor that was offset by a beautiful and delicious tea. The food was thoughtful and creative. The service was excellent and we are talking about doing it again. Loved it.

Great time but could’ve been better! - The views from this harbor cruise were absolutely wonderful, the high tea was a fun experience, and the atmosphere was romantic for my husband and I. The only things I would’ve liked differently: we were not seated by the window, which we thought was guaranteed but apparently you have to pay extra for that. 90% of the seats had their high tea platters at the start of the cruise, but ours took 30 min to come. We also didn’t have a full set of tea options at our table (some packs were even already opened and empty). By the time the live music started, we were also 30 min into the cruise (the entire thing is 1 and a half hours). They didn’t let us know that we could go out the the top deck for outside photos and experience at all, and we didn’t get to go out until the last 10 min when we heard other tables going out back. All in all a beautiful time but if they made more of an effort to show care for their guests onboard, it would have been a 10/10. Still fun and worth a trip!

Enjoyable day on Sydney Harbor - We enjoyed a nice tea with plenty of tasty choices and nice English Breakfast tea with milk. From our window we were able to experience the beautiful neighborhoods that dot the harbor and the spectacular architecture that has given Sydney such fame. That being said, I don't think the trip would be enjoyable on a dark or rainy day. So plan accordingly for a special day, hopefully with someone to share all those pastries. Oh and since they refused to provide a take out sack or box, do plan ahead and bring one along. I hate to waste.

Not what I’d expect from this company - Not overly rapt with this experience! The food was very ordinary - sandwiches were a little stale the pastries a little dry and the selection of sweets were horrible! One was dripping syrup and looks very old! The strawberries with chocolate were good - the scones were great! Probably the only thing on the 3 trays that was great! Service was good but I noticed a lot of people left a lot of the food on the plates! Selection of tea was good also! There was no commentary as to where on the harbour we were or pointing out Andy points of interest! Thanks but I don’t think I’d do this again, unfortunately!
