Sydney Dinner Cruises: The 15 Best Sailings

53 tours  ·  from $38 a head

Dinner on the harbour is a fair idea badly executed on some boats and beautifully on others. These 15 are compared on the menu, whether the table is really by a window, and how long you get under the bridge lights.

Sydney Harbour Sunset Dinner Cruise from Darling Harbour

1.Sydney Harbour Sunset Dinner Cruise from Darling Harbour

★★★★★★★★★★4.0 · 1,122 reviews · from $89Our pick

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.”

3.Sydney Whale-Watching Cruise Including Lunch or Breakfast

★★★★★★★★★★4.5 · 878 reviews · from $74

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!”

★★★★★★★★★★5.0 · 226 reviews · from $251

Cruise Sydney Harbour on a 52-foot yacht with a barbecue lunch, local beer and wine, landmark views, and a small group of up to 14.

“Great Tour. All what we expected and more. We were a group of 4 friends and there were 4 more passengers on board. Our guide was very good. The views were amazing, we went all around the harbour from the Opera to the Darling harbour. The lunch very good and the drinks kept coming. One thing we didn't realize was that we could have also been swimming during the lunch break. It wasn't properly advised and didn't have our bathing suits with us. A great experience 10 out of 10”
