I recommend these tours both at night and during the day.....we went on a night cruise with smorgasbord dinner.
The variety of food was great and plentiful. I could not have any of the mains dishes as they had ingredients I was allergic to so the chef made me a dish just for me..I was very impressed...Sydney harbour by night is magical with all the lights...
During the day it is wonderful as you get a different perspective of the harbour..
all in all, great cruises....

Doing what: Sydney Harbour Sunset Dinner Cruise
We have not regretted choosing the Sydney Harbour Sunset Cruise for our 10th wedding anniversary. Quite romantic, and all indeed went according to expectations, even the promised sunset. Food and service was good too. The only downside we can think of is the fact the former was a little on the cold side. But still great - and the waiter was very friendly.

Really good value for money - though disappointed to find on arrival at Skytower that Oztrek hadn't been operating for some time due to being upgraded from 3D to 4D. Nonetheless SkyTower was worth a visit.
The Aquarium and Wildlife World were both amazing. We found you could only choose the Sydney Harbour Highlights tour or one day hop on/hop off ferry pass - would have liked to have done the afternoon tea cruise.

Real good day harbour cruise fantastic, coach was good to see the northern beachs, and Sydney Tower Restraunt was surprisingly good
My husband and I have really enjoyed our trips on the Sydney Tall Ships. It is a relaxing cruise around the Harbour and when the weather is right you just sail along without the engines. The crew are friendly and you can even help them out with the sails and steering the ship if you wish.

The Harbour Cruise was great. We did this on our last night in Sydney and it was a great way to end our vacation. I would highly recommend.

The cruise was very pleasant, small meal, had to ask for drinks which were supposed to be complimentary, a great cruise for tourists to see a bit of Sydney Harbour.

The Sydney Harbour Dinner Cruise was an excellent way to see Sydney and surrounding areas. My only issue was my meal was barely warm. Otherwise all okay.

I really enjoyed this cruise - thought it was great for an English gal to have tea whilst cruising Sydney Harbour. The guide was extremely knowledgeable and friendly, and we were able to enjoy a lovely morning. Thanks.

Aquarium - One word Awesome! Bring comfortable shoes. Make sure you take a couple minutes at the end to sit in front of the gigantic glass wall to relax. I had the best time here so my rating is quite high!
Wildlife World - A great way to make sure you see all of Australia's strange and wonderful creatures! I spent a lot of time here.
Sydney Tower and Oz Trek - Not really all that amazing. You get a horrible view of the Opera House so don't have high expectations. I don't think I would have felt like I missed anything if I didn't go up. Oz Trek was kinda cool but aimed more for children.
Sydney Harbour Cruise - Fun if you haven't already used the ferry 20 times. Useful information on the hop on hop off tour. A great way to get around.
Darling Harbour - Don't take the "People-Mover Train" it is a waste of money! All you do is watch people waking the same pace as you! Overall I think I would have been fine with just Wildlife World and the Aquarium.

Doing what: Sydney Harbour Top Deck Lunch Cruise
Tour was quiet. The description stated a 3hr lunch cruise, which was in fact two one and a half hour circuits doing the same loop round the harbour twice. Food was not great, drinks were reasonably priced for Sydney.

Doing what: Sydney Harbour Coffee Cruise
The cruise was a fabulous addition to our Sydney trip. Spending the afternoon cruising around the harbour is a great way to see parts of Sydney you normally wouldn't see. However, the afternoon tea was a very poor offering. Cold instant coffee and a muffin. I was expecting much more considering it was advertised as a coffee cruise.

Doing what: Sydney Harbour Tall Ship Lunch Cruise
I found the sydney harbour cruise with the tall ship disappointing. They packed the people on, with limited seating areas. There was no commentary at all. And the most disappointing was the food. Not really worth the money.
