An absolute MUST way to see the brilliance and beauty of Sydney from the local view! - Zane was incredible! He took me and my family all around the harbour to see both the history and beauty of Sydney. As a local myself, Zane did a beautiful job at showing the city from the local perspective but also highlighting the iconic features of the harbour and very prominent houses and locations. He even showed me some new beaches and coves that I can go to, as well as let us jump off for a little swim at Collins bay. We truly had the best time and I would make this tour an absolute MUST if you have the ability to while you're in Sydney.

The best day we had in Australia - The absolute best tour we did in all of Australia. Seeing the city from the sea is such a great experience, especially with such a fantastic guide that Sydney Harbour Boat Tours provided us with. He showed is so many amazing places that you won't be able to see by foot. A must do in Sydney!

Unforgettable Sydney Experience - We had the most beautiful, relaxing harbor cruise with our two daughters, 9 & 14. Fantastic personal service and just the right amount of great storytelling.

Definitely do this if you want a great day out - We had the most fabulous day with Elodie and Zane who were both delightful guides/skippers. Their local knowledge made the trip so interesting. Loved seeing the idyllic homes on the harbour, had a great lunch at one of Sydney’s amazing harbour eating spots, and thoroughly enjoyed the stops at local beaches. Although the trip is a little more money than the average trip, we definitely thought we had value for money and absolutely would recommend to other travellers to do this as it was a fantastic day out with truly professional and engaging staff.

Great experience - Fantastic 4-hour tour! Turned out to be just my daughter and me. Elodie was a fabulous tour guide. Terrific personality and very knowledgeable of Sydney Harbor and all the sights surrounding it. The boat was very clean and comfortable and the ride was very smooth – even for someone with motion sickness. It was a great experience and I highly recommend the Sydney Harbor Tour company for an unforgettable trip around Sydney Harbor.

One of the BEST Boat Tours!!! - First, the Sydney Harbour Boat Tours is an accommodating company. We planned our tour THEN the weather didn’t cooperate. The Managing Director got hold of us via email to change our reservation (if we so chose) to a better time. I think that was so thoughtful and it ended up worked out better than what we had planned! Second, Tour itself! The Sydney Harbour is really big and it was great to be on such a personalized small boat… tour to see it. We stopped at 3 locals and really got a great feel for what was beyond the Opera House. We stopped for lunch, we stopped at a private beach, and we stopped for tea. At all the stops and while at sea we learned about the area and the stops themselves. Third, and most important, The Crew was amazing! Emma and Zane were AWESOME!! Zane; the captain was wonderful! Professional, knowledgeable, and accommodating. As the captain- driver of the boat he drove for the people on the boat. He slowed to let us take photos. We ran a bit behind because we lingered a bit, BUT Zane was very understanding. Emma was also Amazing! Knowledgeable in Australian and Sydney Harbour history. FUN! And I appreciate that she had a “go with the flow” attitude! Again, we had a small tour so we really had personal attention! I would actually go on this tour again!!! I think I would learn something new if I went again. I also enjoyed the people so much! I would HIGHLY RECOMMEND THIS TOUR company!!!

Family harbor tour - Mark, Dane and Elody were really fantastic. Flexible under severe weather conditions they went out of their way to make our ride safe and enjoyable. We visited several spots on the Sydney harbor where you can’t go with the larger boats and had a delightful lunch at the Beach restaurant. The were informed, kind and nice to be with. A great experience for our family

Excellent - What a great trip. Typical that the day we had booked was the worst weather that Sydney has had in years. But we still had a great time. Lovely location for lunch, some fantastic secluded spots and bays that we were taken too. Excellent knowledge from Zane the tour guide and also, what a lovely gentleman he was. And then Elodie, our skipper and business owner. What a lovely girl!!! Its a small run family business and one I would definitely recommend. Small groups and very intimate. Towels were provided and also rain coats, which unfortunately were very much needed. We would not hesitate to book a tour with this company again. Support a local business!!!
