Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.

Margie & Semi gave us a great tour of the Sydney harbour. We were on the tour with our 3 kids - 5, 3, and 1 year old. We felt safe & Margie made the tour very interesting. She engaged with our kids & they had a great time. We would definitely do it again!

Great way to see the major attractions of Sydney Harbor. Our tour included my wife, myself, and one other couple...very private. Our operators were Semi (Boat Captain) and Margie (Tour Guide). Margie provided many details along the way; while Semi kept our trip safe! The cruise was very relaxing and informative with snacks and drinks provided. I would recommend this tour if interested in seeing a lot with luxury accommodations.

This was a fabulous way to appreciate the wider harbour which we would never have seen otherwise. Margie was a brilliant host with lots of information and made the whole trip great fun. Semi did a great job on the BBQ and in charge of the boat. So a great way to spend almost 4 hours in this great city. Thank you both.

Turned out to be a private boat tour of Sydney Harbour. Semi maneuvers the boat around getting you the best pictures. Margie gives excellent commentary telling you the history and interesting stories. They both bring the Harbour alive for you!

What a great way to experience the Sydney Harbour. Margie, Dave and Ash were fantastic hosts. Margie had a wealth of information to share, the vessel was comfortable, the food was great. The cruise around the Harbour provided many opportunities to take photos and learn about Sydney. Thank you for a wonderful afternoon.

Outstanding level of service. From the start all the staff was super friendly. Great vibes from the captain and a very fun and knowledgeable guide who gave us the basic information of Sydney Harbour plus some hidden unique secrets regarding the rich coastal houses.
The food was a huge highlight. From delicious prawns to a typical Aussie barbeque done to perfection onboard, and finishing with a delightful cheese platter and fruit. The open bar with water, fizzy drinks, wine and beer was also a plus.
There was time to go for a swim while docked but it was a bit windy so all the passengers decided to just enjoy the view and have a lovely chat.
I'm very happy with the experience and I will totally do it again.

A super afternoon cruising around Sydney’s harbour and surrounding areas. With only 11 on board for our afternoon trip we were royally looked after by skipper David, head chef Jill and cruise director Margi.
The boat was spacious and comfortable, the bbq lunch delicious and the drinks plentiful. Throw in a fun sweepstake for the Melbourne Cup and a great time was had by all.
Highly recommended for a lovely way to see Sydney from the water.

Great way to spend an afternoon, Margi was brilliant , gave us loads of history but also chatted with us not at us. Skipper David was great and does a mean bbq. Lovely boat , we also had great company by chance . Food and drink all in on price. Really like being on your own boat. We'll done Skipper and Crew.

Thank you SO much Maggie, Dave and Ash for giving our group the best experience!! From being greeted before the boat arrived, to scrumptious food and drinks, to informative fun commentary and the amazing landmarks we were shown, we loved it all. Many in the group comment that it was their favourite activity of our tour so far (day 7 of a 12 day tour!)
Well done! I highly recommend Sensational Sydney Cruises - they lived up to their name ☺️
