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.”

“After already being on the tour bus, the operator informed us that we would not be returning until after 10pm! This was not suitable as our flight was the next day. We had to exit the bus and were never refunded. Nobody will respond from the company. Very poor service and communication as the tour was advertised to end just after sunset.”

★★★★★★★★★★4.5 · 153 reviews · from $118

Review of Sydney’s Blue Mountains sunset tour, with Wentworth Falls hiking, kangaroo spotting, Three Sisters views, transport, costs, and practical tips.

“There is a fair bit of walking throughout the day, some of it quite steep, but you have the option to do as much, or as little as you want. The scenery is stunning and lots of interesting information given by Derek, our tour guide. It's a nice mix of being guided and having time to explore and enjoy the scenery on your own. The bus is comfortable and has huge tinted windows for viewing. All in all a tiring, yet restorative day that we enjoyed very much: Thanks Derek!”

“Lewis was the best guide. Informative interesting comical and so pleasant. He’s a keeper! The whole set up is amazing. Well organized and ran professionally. One suggestion please put solo guests at front; we tend to get pushed aside by group participants. This was no fault of Lewis. I find it happens in many tours. Lewis included the solo participants wonderfully but sometimes in the back we disappear. Thank you”
