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!

Fantastic morning on the harbour - This was a brilliant way to experience the beauty of Sydney harbour. Our guide was great and gave us lots of interesting information- both historical and modern day.
The boat is very comfortable and we had a swim at a lovely boat access only beach.
We had a fabulous time.

A good overview of the bay - Beautiful boat, with plenty of time given to history and natural landscape. Plus our captain was able to get us up close to the shoreline and share interesting landmarks.

This is the way to see Sydney - The BEST way to see the harbor. To use a small boat is personable. David was great. Much much better than on a large vessel.

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.

Disappointing - Not as advertised. A snack & stopping at a beach where you could purchase tea were in the description & did not happen. Narration quite limited.
