Day on our amazing harbour

Kath 20 October 2025

Whole experience was great - well run - the host was a little hard to understand due to accent and my only advice would be that he slow down when explaining rules etc..

Guided Sydney Harbour Self-Driven Boat for 2

Pam 2 January 2024

We loved our trip around Sydney Harbour, in my humble opinion, the most beautiful harbour in the World, for the 2nd time in 5 years. Again, we did it with our Irish family members & for us to share that experience with them is just incredible & so memorable. It;s fair to say that we'll be back a 3rd time in teh next few years, so keep it going cos it's SIMPLY THE BEST!!!

Absolutely Fabulous!

Mark 31 December 2023

We had an absolutely fabulous time! Got a bit wet but all part of the experience. We got some great photos which our guide; francesco took and airdropped to us free of charge, immediately after we got off our boat! We got so close to Sydney opera house and the harbour bridge and we’re able to swap drivers so we both got a chance to drive. We had great fun and would highly recommend this for anyone! I am now thinking of buying a similar little boat when we get back to England it was so great and easy to drive!

So much fun

Natalie 29 December 2023
