Afternoon on the Harbour

William 8 March 2026

The afternoon cruise around the Harbour was very enjoyable and the guide was informative and friendly. Afternoon tea left a little to be desired but I guess for the price not much more could be expected. The organisers just need to be a bit more informative about cancellations. I had planned the lunch cruise for my husband’s birthday, the lunch was cancelled due to not enough people which was understood but we were then given a choice of afternoon cruise or dinner cruise. This was communicated to us via email the day before our booked lunch cruise. We replied and chose the dinner cruise. We received no confirmation so phoned later in the afternoon and left a voice msg. The next morning still no reply so phoned again at 9.30am still could only leave a voice msg. They did call back soon after but told us we could only do the afternoon cruise if we still chose that particular day. All turned out okay but we had originally planned a dinner with family that was cancelled when it looked like we’d be on the dinner cruise. As it turned out that we ended up on the afternoon cruise we could have still had the family dinner. I would suggest to anyone booking that you don’t book it for a special day and realise one needs to be very flexible. I would still recommend the tall ship cruise but with this warning.

Customer Experience

Hi William, Thanks for sharing your feedback. We're glad you enjoyed the afternoon harbour cruise and found the guide friendly. We’re sorry for the communication issues around the cancelled lunch cruise, especially given it was for a special occasion. We understand how frustrating the late notice and lack of confirmation would have been. We’ll pass this on to the provider to help improve their processes. Thank you for still recommending the experience, and for the helpful advice to future guests.

Sydney Harbour Tall Ships Lunch Cruise

Tammy 7 August 2024

Having received a voucher for a Christmas gift, we finally decided to use it, our tall ship lunch adventure due to weather being cold (expected during winter I guess) made our cruise a smaller version with a small number of guests which reduced our Tall ship to a not as Tall ship, But this Did Not reduce the experience for us, as it was about a day out on our beautiful harbour, the crew were great, friendly and helpful, our lunch was a good feed as well. The Tallship tour guide was the most knowledgeable person I have meet in long time, he knew all about the harbour it's landmarks its history and also were all the rich and famous people lived, and the current realestate prices 😊,, thanks for a great afternoon, we would do it again 😊👍

Fun, authentic experience

Hazal 26 March 2024

It was my mother's dream to go on the tall ship ever since she came to Australia, and it being my birthday, I wanted to treat her to something cute. It was really nice being on the ship. For our luck it was a nice sunny and the right amount of windy day to do a little tour of the harbour. It was surprisingly quiet and calming to cruise around. The lunch was OK, and the brownie was DELICIOUS. Recommend for a taste of history, a nice sunny afternoon.

Keerat

Hi Hazal, thanks so much for your feedback - We are so happy to hear you and your mother enjoyed the tall ship cruise!
