5.00My husband and I took the lunch cruise yesterday and our experience was 10/10. John was so amazing and had so much knowledge about the harbor and history. It was a beautiful cruise over to a little cove where we had a fantastic lunch! Such a beautiful and peaceful day. We loved it and would definitely do it again!

5.00This reviews so long overdue! I visited Sydney last December with my daughter and sister. I booked a lunch cruise with Sensational Sydney Cruises. Our guide n captain were Graham and Sammy. We had the best time! Lunch was salmon and steak with a great potato salad. My daughter enjoyed feeding the fish. Graham's a bit of a comedian. If ever in Sydney again, I'd definitely book another cruise with Sensational!

5.00Our cruise was absolutely amazing. We were the only two people on there and we were celebrating our 50th wedding anniversary. The gentleman on the boat took such good care of us. They told us all about everything. They made sure we were comfortable the views the sites everything was just perfect knowledgeable about the area. They are very knowledgeable about the area. They explained lots of things they showed us the radar of dinosaur Island and the island self. They really went out of their way to make this tour personal for us. We went by homes as a rich and famous. They pointed them out. They pointed out different sites. The food was Amazing. The landmarks were incredible. The bridge with the people walking across. It was fabulous, told us about the activities, including the fireworks New Year’s. It was spectacular. They made my year. I can’t tell you how fabulous it was just as words. It was the Highpoint of our trip, and I can’t think those three gentlemen, any more than I have already because they were fabulous. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you, Carol and Gordon Hayward

5.00John and Sammy were amazing hosts!! It was a little rainy but they had prepped the boat so it was fully enclosed, but we were able to take it off when we wanted photos. The steak and Salmon lunch was DELICIOUS. Hands down the best salmon I’ve had! I would definitely recommend this to anyone who wants to relax and learn a bit about Sydney
Great tour experience, rain or shine!

5.00My husband and I took the harbor cruise tour with lunch. Our expectations were exceeded! Jon had so much knowledge about the buildings surrounding the harbor. Semi was a great navigator and found a sunny little cove for our lunch, even though it had been windy and rainy when we left the wharf. I would highly recommend this tour for anyone looking for a great harbor tour experience, with a bonus of a delicious lunch!

5.00Wow what a wonderful afternoon cruising around Sydney along with great food and even better company! Captain Semmi and my tour guide Jon were both amazing. Semmi made the boat ride so smooth and enjoyable, plus he took me to some great spots all around the bay. Jon is very knowledgeable and I enjoyed learning all the great history of Australia along with getting some great photos of gorgeous homes of the rich and famous. Both of them are wonderful hosts and lunch was fabulous. Semmi grilled up the best salmon I’ve ever eaten. I just had such a great afternoon and I would recommend this adventure to anyone!

5.00Our tour guides Graham and Semmi absolutely top notch! Because of the rain, the views may not have been the best, but Graham made up for that with knowledge, history and gossip of the Sydney waterways. Lunch on the boat was outstanding and the view unbeatable. Very entertaining!!
