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.

Exhilarating way to experience Sydney harbour. 3h flew by! Francisco was great! I'm 1,94m tall and fit comfortably!

Francisco was the best guide. He is very chill, fun and full of knowledges. Really cool seeing Sydney from a boat. Great fun.

Fransisco was the kindest tour guide who made it such a fun experience. Truly great at what he does. Experience was just outstanding and so stunning.

When we turned up and saw the boats, they looked so small. However, once we got in and started going it was great fun! Driving around the harbour in your own personal boat was a great experience and seeing Sydney from a different perspective was well worth the money.

A fantastic, fun and exciting way to enjoy Sydney Harbour . We were 2 couples so it was perfect - one boat each - and our wonderful guide Francisco who made sure we were all fine every step of the way . Can’t recommend this highly enough . A must do trip in Sydney . We will definitely do it again on our next visit .

This is a unique and absolutely amazing experience! Got it as a 16th birthday present for my son. He could steer the boat himself and it was a thrill. The smile didn't leave his face (and mine) for the entire 3 hrs of this tour. It is very well organised, easy and you'd feel very safe despite moving through some busy parts of Sydney Harbour. Dirk is an excellent lead / guide.

Excellent way to experience Sydney harbour and getting the opportunity to drive a boat. You are so low to the water you can drape your hand in as you go. Thus was a birthday present for my wife and she loved it.

Hi, is this only available to book at weekends as I just looked on the website and on the booking page it only shows Saturday and Sundays available over the next couple of months?

Hi--We went on a Friday, and the way we found out about it was by seeing people doing it on Thursday. We chose to go at 4:30 but there were spots available earlier in the day. However, it looks like the hours have been seriously reduced (maybe because holidays are over). I'd email and ask. Really nice guys running the operation.
