Sydney Harbour Tall Ship Afternoon Discovery Cruise

Jim, captain James and crew. Great afternoon of portering around the Harbour. My 7 yo nephew Leo was so happy to be able to have a go at steering the ship. The experience overall was just the right amount of time for a young boy's attention span. Thanking you for helping me make my Aunty's weekend memorable for him.

It’s was great but as a carer for a legally blind person I had to pay for my ticket so I’m not impressed

The time was changed and no-one rang to inform me so we missed the departure and missed out on the cruise

A truly delightful experience, kids had an awesome time and the crew were knowledgeable and fun which added to the special historic theme of the tour. Highly recommend.

The outlook with the tall sails was amazing, our guide/commentor was very knowledgeable. It was a perfect day weather wise and it was most enjoyable.

An excellent way to enjoy Sydney Harbour. My wife, step-daughter and I booked this cruise as a way to spend a couple of hours while in Sydney for the day. We were sent a confirmation text in the motioning with the departure location and time making it very easy to get there on time. It seemed like a shipload of people were waiting to board but once everyone was on board it was quite comfortable and not squashy like I was imagining it was going to be. The crew were very pleasant and most helpful. The host/guide for the afternoon was Andrew and I cannot fault his knowledge and presentation. I learnt a few new things from his talks and even got to help hoist one of the sails. We chose not to participate in the mast climb but the opportunity was available. The cruise was really relaxing and enjoyable. My only negative for the whole trip was that it was advertised that light refreshments was included. I was humoured when offered a patty case with three slices of chorizo sausage and a toothpick. This was all that was offered. I had had a big lunch so wasn’t hungry at all but thought some people would probably expect more. Drinks including alcohol were available on board but as were were out for the whole day I had my own small esky bag with soft drinks which the crew were not concerned about. Other than that one point, I thought the whole cruise was great and would highly recommend it. I booked through Viator and didn’t see any opportunity to use them but please know you can use your Discover NSW vouchers with this cruise. (You may have to enquire how to do this.)

We went on a fabulous sunny day and couldn’t have had a better time. The captain and all the crew were friendly, informative, engaging and helpful. The ship herself was beautiful, full of history and experience. There were a bunch of kids on board who were allowed to have a rollicking good time while the adults had a cheeky glass of champers and listened to the history of the ship, and of Australia, including a focus on indigenous history not just colonial. Excellent value for money, well worth it. Recommended.

Gorgeous setting, well organised, thoughtfully narrated by Howard. Good COVID precautions and great open air experience on a beautiful ship!

A great adventure on the water with expert commentary. Loved every minute of this unique tour. We plan to go back for the dinner cruise next visit to Sydney

This was a relaxing and leisurely cruise. The staff were all friendly and helpful and the Captain was easygoing with the kids, showing them how steer the ship and chatting to them. A very pleasant experience overall.
