We saw all the highlights around the harbor, learned a lot of interesting facts & many great stories. Definitely worth it.

A new perspective on Sydney Harbour - Sydney Harbour is one of the natural wonders on earth. This is a new way to see the glories. Our captain was Zane and he was interesting and attentive. The boat was very comfortable. It was a fabulous couple of hours and good value. Thank you to all concerned and may you forever prosper.

A spectacular morning, highly recommended for visitors and locals. - I booked a small group experience as I wanted something special for visiting family. We were lucky, we had the boat to ourselves so it was even more exclusive than I hoped.
Zane was an incredible captain, tour guide and photographer - he is so knowledgeable and interesting, there was no obscure question he couldn’t answer. Nothing was too much trouble, he obviously really cared that we had a great time. I would give the morning six stars if I could.

A real tour of the harbour - This was a wonderful 2 1/2 tour with Zane who was helpful and informative. We really saw the harbour sights and went close to Pacific Ocean. We stopped in beautiful mini harbours and learnt about them and their idiosyncrasies. Zane was a great guide.

Amazing Sydney Harbour Boat Tour Experience! - My wife and I highly recommend Sydney Harbour Boat Tours! Only a few hours after arriving in Australia, we met our captain Zane for a 3 hour boat tour around the Harbour. Although we were exhausted from 20 hours of traveling, our captain Zane was a rockstar. His enthusiasm and knowledge of the Harbour, buildings, cliffs, natural rainforests, and so many other things not only helped keep us awake, but truly provided us with amazing experience where we learned so much. Zane you are awesome and we thank you for a fantastic day. If you’re looking for a great tour of the Sydney Harbour then Sydney Harbour Boat Tours is who you need to call!

Underwhelming experience for the cost - Boat was very nice. For most of the tour, Captain Andy was hard to hear over boat engines. He needed a speaker for us in the back of the boat.
Water was to be provided on this 2.5 hour tour. It was not offered. This was 1st time we've ever had to take gym shoes off on any boat. Not safe.
