Sydney Sunset & Sparkle Harbour Cruise

We loved our one hour sunset trip, hated getting off the boat. It was very relaxing and we loved seeing all the sights from the water. The Opera House was spectacular.

Great cruise. One person in our party was experiencing her first trip to Sydney and another person isn't that great in the water. Both thoroughly enjoyed the cruise. It was short and suited our needs as we were short on time. The boat arrived relatively on time (about 10 mins late but it was very windy). Two person crew, both were friendly and answered any questions you might have or take photos of your group. However, they didn't talk a lot about what we were seeing during the cruise. For example, if you wanted historical info about the area or random facts about the opera house this is not the cruise for you. Food provided was better and more than expected for what we paid for our tickets. Cheese, crackers, fruit (grapes, strawberries etc), carrot sticks, hummus dip, bread sticks, dried apricots, chips etc. Soft drinks or water provided. Only about 15 people on our cruise so we have lots of space to move about for some good photos. We went in Nov so sunset is quite a bit later than 6pm to 7.30pm but still really pretty. The cruise is from Circular Quay to Darling Harbour and back so you get some good angles to take photos of the area. Timing suited us a we had a dinner appointment. Highly recommended! Really good value and suitable if short on time or if you have people in your group that might get seasick.

The tour began too early (6.20 pm) - therefore no chance of sunset which would be at about 8 pm . So it was no special atmosphere on the boat. I found it rather boring. But the food was nice and delicious.

We really enjoyed this trip. The weather was iffy so we weren’t expecting much but really had fun. The captains are friendly guys that are easy to chat with and we met people from all corners of the globe.
