Sydney to Hobart fun - The Boxing Day Sydney to Hobart cruise on the fast catamaran was a lot of fun. Our boat had a good view of the start line and then we followed the leaders out the Heads and along the coast for a bit. We then passed the rest of the fleet on our return. It was so exciting we hardly had time to eat our snacks or drink our coffee. (p.s. don't go on this one if you are prone to sea sickness.)

A sensational night tour through Sydney Bay - On board a small and comfortable boat, since the waters of Sydney Bay are sheltered, so no waves, it is worth navigating and seeing the bridge to the Opera illuminated at night, and, if you are lucky and the sky is clear, also with a beautiful moon. The images speak for themselves.

No Commentary on the Boat - Be aware that when you book this tour you will need to download an App and bring headphones if you want to hear an overview on the places you are seeing and stopping at in the harbour. The description of this tour doesn't say this so we didn't bring any headphones. We had assumed there would a commentary either by the captain or the assistant but there isn't.

Good way to see Sydney for cheap - A fun way to see Sydney. We did the cheapest option and it was a cool way to see the sights. Great views. It went to different areas and we saw some beaches. Happy we did it.

Needs some commentary to know what you're looking at - Although it was a lovely ride around the harbor, a little commentary on the major sights would be helpful. They give you a map, so you have to figure out where you are, then look at the map to pinpoint what you're looking at.
Probably wouldn't recommend unless you just want a quick ride around the harbor.

Terrible do not lose your money on this tour - It's no better than taking a ferry. We thought someone would take care of us but no you had to upload an app and the ferry almost didn't go to points of interest. It was like a hop on hop off boat but our ticket didn't allow us to disembark at all four stops. Do not lose your money on this tour.

In my opinion, it is not worth paying for this excursion - Very disappointing this company, you get on the boat, after 10 minutes stop somewhere else to pick up more people, take a mini tour and return
Not worth it, nothing to highlight from this experience, old boats, dirty cristiñas and feeling of being conned
If you want to navigate the bay, better look for some other option and be explained the route

Very poor service - In Sydney for a few days- were told not to get on our allocated boat for no reason. Had to wait over an hour for the next one- weren’t given an apology or any compensation for the waste of time. Terrible service and communication.
