A Relaxing Cruise with Beautiful Harbour Views - We enjoyed a pleasant afternoon on the Sydney Harbour high tea cruise. The views of the Harbour were beautiful and, of course, being out on the water is always special. It’s a lovely way to take in the scenery and enjoy some time relaxing. The atmosphere was nice and comfortable, and the service was smooth. The food and drinks were enjoyable, though fairly standard for a high tea experience. Overall, it was a nice outing with beautiful views — a good option if you’re looking for a relaxed way to see the Harbour.

Beautiful views - Very spacious cruise with warm welcome and timely distribution of juices, coffee, biscuits etc. The scenic beauty of Sydney harbour captivated us. Majestic Darling harbour and Symbolic Sydney Opera House in one frame is a delight for visitors like us. As weather was moderate we enjoyed view from the deck too!

Amazing cruise, on a stunning yacht. - This cruise with high tea was fabulous!!! The boat was a large, cruising yacht with plenty of room for everybody. They assigned you to a beautiful table near the window and start you off with glass of champagne, from there tea and coffee, sweets and treats are delivered to your table. This cruise is extremely enjoyable and relaxing. I highly recommend and would do it again in a minute.

Enjoyable Day cruise - Delightful trip even with the rain. We boarded the boat, they sat us at our reserved a table, brought a glass of champagne, tea pot (about 5 different tea packs were on the table) and 3-tier tray of finger foods. All delicious. You do have the option to order wines, hard liqueurs, non-alcoholic drinks, side snacks and other options while onboard for a fee. No narration of the scenery you’re passing, just light music playing in the background. It was relaxing and enjoyable.

Harbour in the rain! - Nice boat trip - food & drinks all good. We had bad weather which was a shame but the trip was fine - worth the cost for the views anyway.

Disappointment - The service was very poor. We waited 35 minutes before we were offered any beverage as the cruise was only one and a half hours also on the website it was stated that all the food was made fresh on board and it definitely was not all fresh. The food was very limited with hardly any savouring food and my friend who had a nut allergy was handed one piece of cake and was not told if anything else on the platter was okay for her to eat. The girl that served just made us feel like we were an inconvenience to her. I would definitely not recommend this cruise as it wasn’t cheap and i’ve definitely been on better. I was embarrassed as it was my suggestion to go on this high tea and unfortunately we were all very disappointed.

Unreasonable admission prices - I reached out to the team as I tried booking for high tea for my family however I noticed that the prices for adults and kids were the same. The team confirmed that the price was the same for adults and kids and I was told that this was a set menu. Which does not provide any sensible explanation to how a child’s food type and quantity would be the same. The standard menu had bubbles and tea and no child would be utilising that option so therefore a complete waste of money to be paying an adults price and not utilising the menu. If people booking need an adult option for their older kids then they would do that but it makes no sense for a 4,5,6,7 etc years old to be getting an adults menu. I did provide this as a feedback to the team hopefully they consider as many other high teas in Sydney have kids and adults prices as separate.
