The app immediately sent us two vouchers annd confirmation of our bookings. The tour started at 7:50 am and we took a ferry back and arrived at Circular Quay in the city by 5:45 pm. More about the ferry ride back later. The tour included: 1. Three Sisters Lookout Point 2.Tram and cable rides at Scenic World and a short hike on the Scenic Walkway 3.Lunch at Loaves and Dishes Cafe 4.Entrance into Featherdale Wildlife Refuge. On the day of the tour, the bus picked us up at our hotel the Hilton Sydney. They make a number of pick ups from other hotels. If your hotel is not on the list then you have to meet them at one of the designated hotels. A tour coordinator approached us to get our names. She checked us in on her list and gave us an envelope with tickets for the forthcoming destinations. The bus was a big comfortable climate control vehicle. Our driver/historian/entertainer was magnificent !! He only mentioned his name once at the beginning of the tour and I didn't catch it. In any case, he was terrifically knowledgable about the history of Sydney and the Blue Mountains. He was funny and kept us entertained throughout the whole day. In addition, he clearly instructed us on how to navigate through the different destinations with keen details. His instructions were extremely spot on and helpful. There was a lot of time designated for each destination. We never felt rushed. i On the way back many people opted to book a ferry ride back on the river cruise. We didn't buy that option but the bus driver told us that we still could pay for the ferry ride at the dock. We chose to do that thinking that the bus would run into Sydney rush hour traffic. I highly recommend that you take the ferry ride option. It was a beautiful, peaceful ride back to the city center and only took 30 minutes. We're not sure how long the bus took but surely it wasn't as scenic. In addition, the b So to get on the ferry, we had to purchase tickets. At the dock, there was a vending like machine where you can buy a ticket to get on the ferry. It was $8.50 AUD/person. The ferry made a few stops along the way to pick up other passengers. We thoroughly enjoyed every facet of the tour. It takes you to gorgeous areas of our Sydney trip that we wouldn't have otherwise been able to see on our own. The operators were extremely professional and well informed. It was worth every penny of the approximately $98/person for two people. Viator had a special 10% discount if we purchased on the mobile app. Also follow my food adventure on IG @tazebudshawaii Happy Travels !

The Featherdale wildlife park gave us a great up close kangaroo/koala experience, as well as a chance to see some of Australia's bird and reptile species.

Ashleigh's knowledge combined with her engaging personality made the whole experience that much more inviting! Great job!

We wandered down and found they actually did 2 hour dinner cruises and had one leaving in 10 minutes. Perfect. We boarded the Southern Swan and sat back to enjoy the sights and sounds of Sydney harbor on this fabulous 1922 timber barquentine. The crew was lovely, very helpful and full of information about the harbor and the sites we were passing (Governors House, sharks island, Sydney Opera House etc) The food was very good, better than most dinner cruises on much newer ships. Some sausage or spinach and feta triangles as appetizers were passed around first. Three different salads, two casseroles, one a mild chicken curry and another lentil and veggie one for the vegetarians - all gluten free served buffet style. Brownies for dessert. Drinks were available for an additional cost at the bar or as part of a package. The best bit, should you choose, you can even help raise sails (hubby did that) or even climb the masts. A great way to spend the evening. Thanks to Captain Pete, Howard our host and the wonderful crew members who are mostly international visitors who sign on for up to three months, volunteering for room and board onboard. Louisa was one young German lady who was doing it and an absolute delight to talk to. Thanks to all who made this a great evening.

What a great evening - we loved it!…read more We booked a Sunset Dinner Cruise prior to leaving the US for our NZ/AU cruise. There were 4 of us in total. We arrived to the marina early, went to the Captain Cook Cruises desk and got our tickets, then had cocktails outdoors nearby. As the line to board got longer, we finally joined it. Once they opened up for boarding, the line went very fast. As we had window seating, there were no worries and we got a fantastic table location. Drink and dinner orders were taken right away. Bread was served shortly and it was really good. We asked for more and they brought more. Dinner was excellent as was the harbor cruise. After passing the Opera House, we docked near the International Cruise Terminal and most passengers got off. There was one more stop that some stayed aboard for. We stayed. As this point, the sun was setting and the skyline was lighting up with building lights. We went to the top, open deck with fresh drinks. Some of us sat on the deck chairs and us shutter-bugs moved about the deck taking pictures from both sides. We got some amazing shots. The dock we ended at was not the one we started at and we knew ahead of time. We disembarked and grabbed an Uber back to our hotel. I've read a lot of reviews about this cruise. Some loved it, some did not. Our experience was very favorable and we're happy that we took it. Thank you CCC for a great evening.

Absolutely nothing and that's the experience I got when booking with Sea Sydney Cruises. I pre arranged my trip as there is limited room on this 52 foot motor cruiser and you want to make sure you have a spot. The boat picks up at the Commisioners steps, down on the Quay, and as soon as all 10 people arrive for the trip, the boat is off and headed around the harbor, pointing out all the sights along the way. This is the perfect way to see the city of Sydney! Your ticket price includes beverages ( beer, wine or soft drinks), lunch ( on the day I was there is was a 3 course experience with a shrimp appetizer, salmon and steak with salad as the main course and cheese and fruit for dessert). They serve lunch while anchored in one of the bay's and you can swim or kayak while there as well so be sure to bring your swimsuit. The boat has a sun bathing area in the front, a shady area up top, and cushioned seating in the back to enjoy the weather and the views. There is also a bathroom on board so no need to worry about that! The staff is terrific. Terry was our guide and host and he was knowledgeable, personable and at times, I felt like I was out on his personal boat, so how cool is that? My trip lasted about 4 hours and as we pulled back into the dock, I was sad to see it end, This, truly, was one of the highlights of my visit to Sydney!
