I felt like I was transported to another time in the past, a couple of my friends went up the mast, we all had a blast and the bubbly and nibblies went fast! ;)) Definitely recommended :))

The tour was on an old tall ship. The only issue was if it rains there is limited protection. So if is is raining, as it was for us, try and get on early and grab a dry position.The trip was pleasant and the tour of Goat island informative. They very kindly gave out ponchos to keep us dry. We... More

This tour offers something different to the other harbour cruises. A tall ship took us to Goat Island - just enough time for a safety briefing & quick glass of champagne. As soon as we arrived on the island lunch was ready - a picnic might be a better description - there were a couple of bread rolls, salads, prawns,... More

We arrived at Campbell Cove on Sunday morning expecting a tour on a ferry but instead it turned out to be a 'Tall Ship' as the ferry was being serviced. The trip did not start well as there were a lot of tourists in a small area and it poured. However, this was the only downside to what turned out... More

The Convict, Castles and Champagne Tour was a really pleasant day out. We were extremely lucky with the weather, having rained days either side of the day we went. This did impact the day slightly as the lunch was held inside rather than on the lawn. The drink was free flowing as previously mentioned in other reviews and the lunch... More

Good way to spend a few hours on the harbour. Informative guide. Lunch, only let down. Stale bread roll and soggy prawns.

If you are in Sydnry and looking for something interesting to do for an afternoon book onto this tour. It leaves Campbell Cove 1pm one you set sail on a restored 1920 (something) ferry for Goat Island. The trip there takes about 30 minutes and they serve champagne during the trip. On arrival at Goat Island you are divided into... More

Although the boat, 92 years of age, was late the crew and the commentary as well as the interesting history of the place made up for this. The food and drink were good even had a genuine "Crusty old sea dog" from Scotland so that this character really helped make the day a nice memory. I have had some less... More

Had a lovely afternoon on the Wangi Queen tour of Sydney Harbour and Goat Island. Fantastic location and not readily available to the public. Loved the tour guides commentary and the lunch was fresh and tasty. Really interesting part of Sydney that we all knew nothing about. Can recommend this to anyone with an afternoon to spend in Sydney.
