Review of Sydney’s 1-hour-45-minute sunset dinner cruise from Darling Harbour, with harbour views, three-course dining, music, prices, and booking tips.
“2 criticisms comes to mind, firstly it was called a Sunset dinner Cruise, our cruise was completed before sunset. Secondly the food wasn’t great, the main course was cold and the chicken very dry. A bit of a disappointment, I booked the cruise for 6 people to celebrate a 90th birthday and everyone was disappointed with their main course.”

Cruise Sydney Harbour, enjoy breakfast or a BBQ lunch, and search for humpback whales on a four-hour Pacific Ocean trip.
“Luggage storage nearby was $8AU per bag, but convenient. Double decker boat didn’t feel crowded, and lunch was great. Commentary was pleasant and informative. We saw so many breaches that the boat lingered longer than usual. I’ve heard from others that the morning tour is a bit underwhelming and today was no exception according to the crew, so afternoon is a must!”
