Food was okay, not exactly what was described on the website. But staff did a good job and we definitely enjoyed the evening.”

A 2-hour Sydney Harbour sunset dinner cruise with a hot-and-cold buffet, top harbor landmarks, and easy Circular Quay boarding.
“Dinner cruise. Food was ok, desserts weren’t good. We kind of just did the same loop twice, would have liked to see a little more, but overall it was a great cruise and way to see the city from a different view. I would do it again.”
Late-start Blue Mountains small-group tour from Sydney: Three Sisters at golden hour, bushwalks, wildlife, VIP koala photos, lunch and dinner.
“Had a great time. Melanie was an excellent guide (and driver)! The tour itinerary was unique when compared with the typical Blue Mountain tours and worth the price. Also appreciated the late start time and the small group size. The hikes were beautiful, at times a bit strenuous but not beyond the abilities of a 75 year old in reasonably good shape. Very happy with this tour!”
Tall ship dinner cruise for Vivid Sydney, 90 minutes on the harbor with Opera House light show views, meal and wine included.
“Fabulous night out. Great food, good choice of beverages, friendly staff. Really good value for money. And we were also lucky it was a warm, clear night to watch Vivid. Thoroughly recommend”
A 3-hour Sydney Harbour dinner cruise with cabaret and 3-course meal, from King Street Wharf 5, with Bridge and Opera House views.
“The entire experience was awesome. A little disorganized when entering but otherwise a great meal, awesome show, but most importantly the tour of the harbour at night and picture taking opportunities were amazing. Highly recommend.”
Infinity by Mark Best at Sydney Tower (Level 81) pairs a revolving 360° view with a 3-course Australian menu. Great for a splurge.
“Excellent food, service and spectacular view. I am a Sydneysider and enjoyed my visit. The minmum price is on the high side and most meals dont come with sides. Its at least $100 a head for food. so on the high side Having said that the food was top notch and it is a million dollar view.”

“Awesome food and wines. I expected the harbor to be the highlight and the food and wines to be just ok. Instead we were wowed.”
Sydney Harbour glass-boat dinner cruise with 360° skyline views, a chef-made 3–4 course menu, and bar drinks in 2–3 hours.
“Lovely food, shame it said 2hours, it started at 7 20 and finished around 8.45 it was expensive for the time we spent on the boat. The waitresses were excellent I must say, very attentive and friendly and nothing was any trouble for them.”
