Customer Reviews

Wonderful, leisurely sail around sydney harbour.

A thoroughly enjoyable jaunt, and so quintessentially ‘Sydney’.Much more relaxed and easy going than expected, with great laughs and plenty of history with host Howard and Captain (?) Andy.A really great way to see all the sights of Sydney Harbour, including some very interesting buildings complete with informative commentary. We loved the friendly, nostalgic atmosphere on the ship.The mast climb was a highlight of our Sydney trip.

Awesome Sunset Cruise

What a great afternoon/evening. Keegan (the M.C.) was great as were the rest of the crew. Really friendly & helpful AND the “deck girls” – fearless. (climbing up the rigging & setting the sails) Sydney harbour was as always – magnificent. Food was great as were the people we met on board. The mast climb is an ABSOLUTE MUST and the views of Sydney Harbour from the Crows Nest are out of this world. Hardest part is getting the world to hold still whilst you try to take pictures up the mast. !!! Summary…. MUST DO.

Mast Climb Was Amazing!

Coming from Sydney I was not sure I would enjoy. How wrong can you be! It was great, Sydney turned on a gorgeous day and I would highly recommend the mast climb, it was a little hard work for us over 50’s but I got there in the finish.

A Must-do Experience

I have lived in Sydney all my life, but to see the city skyline at sunset & lit up at night from out in the harbour towards Watsons Bay was a new experience. It was fantastic, must-do experience!

Tall Ship Experience, Lunch Cruise

Vintage sailing on Sydney Harbour is quite indescribable. Not to be missed (or forgotten)! A great ship, great crew and great food made for an absolutely splendid sailing adventure.

Great Way to See Sydney Harbour!

I have lived in Sydney for over 36 years have never seen the harbour quite like this before. This is a magical experience whilst taking a step back in time. The crew were so friendly, the food was great and the view spectacular. I couldn’t think of a better way to spend an afternoon!

Great Day Out

What a fantastic day. Well organised, excellent food. Great helpful staff who really knew their stuff. I would recommend to anyone with a love of boats or anyone wanting a great way to see the Harbour.

Highly Recommended

I would highly recommend this cruise to anyone who is looking for an enjoyable & relaxing couple of hours on the Harbour. A wonderful experience to be aboard a Tall Ship with such fascinating history. This is a must do cruise!!

Best Way to See Sydney Harbour

The best way to see Sydney is from the Harbour. The boat and the sails were extra special; we even had the opportunity to climb up the Mast to get an extra special view of Sydney. The staff were professional, welcoming and encouraging. Spend the afternoon with the fun crew at Tall Ships and have a ball.

Thrilled with Every Moment

We chose the afternoon sailing cruise and were thrilled with every moment. Sydney looks its best from the deck of a real ship, with the breeze on your face and a cool drink in your hand. We had an absolutely splendid, entertaining and interesting sailing adventure, on a great ship with a great crew!

Unique Sydney Harbour Cruise

A spectacular and relaxing way to see Sydney from the harbour. Raise the sails, turn off the engine and float along whilst sipping a flute of bubbly, viewing Sydney in a truly unique way. Top marks to all!

Spectacular Sydney Harbour Cruise

What a wonderful combination of hospitality, food, bubbly, and a great experience on board! You can get involved in sailing the ship, or, like me, one can just kick back, be a champagne member of the crew and love spectacular Sydney Harbour from the deck of a beautiful Tall Ship.

Incredible Sydney Harbour Views

A step back in time on the most spectacular harbour. Incredible Sydney Harbour views with a very friendly crew. What a great experience on a well-cared for and much loved tall ship. Watching the sails rise was a highlight and it was lovely to be able to simply explore the ship at leisure.

Traditional Sydney Harbour Cruising

I admire these people for wanting to keep the tradition of these majestic sailing ships alive. The boat is beautiful, the food and wine superb and Sydney at sunset is striking.

Canapés Delicious

The great thing about this cruise is the charming crew, full of life and love for their job. The cruise is a step back in time, the wine and canapés delicious, the entertainment lovely. I could have gazed at the waves, the wind and the sails forever. If you love sailing, or being on the water this is an incredible way to experience Sydney Harbour.

Romantic All-Inclusive Night Out

Drinks and canapés were served in abundance as we motored out to Sydney Heads and the beautiful scenery passed us by. I would definitely do this again; it was a relaxing, romantic all-inclusive night out.

Great Experience – Highly Recommended

Great host in Andrew and Captain Andy and friendly crew. Great experience, much more interesting than your normal pre-recorded tour boats with no character. Book early as may be full and therefore unavailable on your stay in Sydney! Highly recommended. Kids 7 (boy)and 9 (girl) and both loved it.

New Year’s Eve Cruise on Coral Trekker

Dear Nice and all at Sydney Harbour Tall Ships, We want to thank you all for the most fantastic evening on board The Coral Trekker. Please pass on our thanks to the Captain ( Andrew ? ) and all his crew who made the evening so special . The food and the odd glass of Champagne were just right for the occasion. The main event and the reason for being on board The Coral Trekker — The Sydney Harbour New Years Eve Fireworks – Were way beyond our expectations and made all the more spectacular by the Captains ability to position his ship into the perfect viewing location. In our view the only way to see and enjoy the Sydney Harbour New Years Eve firework display is on board “ The Coral Trekker”. Well done everybody and wishing you all a HAPPY NEW YEAR and a Successful 2023.

Educational Experience on Sydney Harbour

I would just like to thank you for such a wonderful, entertaining and educational Experience. Our family had the most fantastic time. The food was great, the crowd was happy and the guides were so professional and informative! It was really a day to remember!

Keep Up The Good Work!

We thoroughly enjoyed the afternoon and have not stopped talking about the whole experience! From the time we boarded and were welcomed, nothing was too much trouble. Congratulations you are doing a great job of showing Sydney and part of our history to tourists and the locals!

Excellent Historical Tour on Sydney Harbour

Thanks for a most enjoyable and informative cruise of our harbour and Goat Island last Saturday. Our guide’s knowledge and presentation of the historical aspects behind our early history was first class. I would recommend it others and especially visitors to our city. WELL DONE Crew!

Great Day Out on Sydney Harbour

I thought this trip was excellent with all the activities available, when it is over you want more! An awesome day on the harbour.

I can’t say enough for this activity it was FANTASTIC! As well as laser clay shooting they ran mast climbing where two people could climb the mast of the sip and hang out in the wind. I cannot recommend this enough people, get out there and take a sail with the boys! Also get involved in the activities as well, really makes the trip.

Awesome Sydney Harbour Cruise

Fulfilled my ambition of going on a tall sail ship, a great way to do it! This is a must if you like old sail ships and it’s a great way to experience the harbour. The activities on this cruise are awesome!

The Ship is a Beauty

Sydney Tall Ships provided a great harbour experience for the Google crew… Our expectations were exceeded for sure. The mast climb was thrilling… And the ship is a beauty!

Real Professionalism

I just wanted to let you know how pleased I am with Tall Ships Cruises. Nothing was too small or too big for your staff and they managed all our tedious requests with a smile and real professionalism. I am glad to have come across your organization. Microsoft is grateful to have chosen Tall Ships in catering for our event. Thank you.

Loved the Southern Swan

We absolutely loved our time aboard the Southern Swan. Not only did it perfectly fit our theme (pirates, of course), but the crew went out of their way to really make sure we had a great time. Having done a few harbour cruises as part of team building and corporate exercises, this is definitely one that sticks out the most in my mind. The Mast Climb was exhilarating and we’ll definitely keep it in mind for future events. Thanks again to everyone at Sydney Tall Ships and until we sail arrrrrrrgain me mateys!

A Big Hit with our CEO

From the moment we contacted the team at Tall Ships we found the service to be professional, courteous and nothing was ever a problem. All our needs were accommodated for and the afternoon was a big hit with our CEO, MD and members of our Senior management team. I would highly recommend Tall Ships to anyone thinking of this type of event.

Enjoyable Time on the Water

Our staff had a lovely time out on the ship and quite a number of them climbed the mast as well. Despite slightly cold weather, it was really enjoyable time on the water. Many thanks to you and your team for making the last part of our conference so special.

Perfect way to enjoy Sydney Harbour

We took a 2.5h sunset cruise on the Soren Larsen for a large group from work.Sydney harbour is a real natural wonder and seeing it from a beautiful period boat was spectacular.The ship itself was wonderful (solid oak, real sails and rigging etc.) and had actually made the voyage from Denmark to Sydney. Plus, you could climb up it :-)The staff were knowledgable, entertaining and couldn’t have done more to look after us. Personally I really enjoyed learning about the history of the boat and it’s voyage around the world to reach Sydney.We also enjoyed food and drinks on board which were pretty varied and very good.Highlights of the trip were mast climbing, cruising back from shark island using wind power only and watching the sun go down to be replaced by the Vivid lights.Overall this was a great team event for us and I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend it.

5-STAR CUSTOMER REVIEWS

Fantastic from beginning to end. Saw four groups of mother and baby humpbacks at close range. Informative commentary, great food and a thoroughly enjoyable afternoon for a good price. Highly recommended.

Great Day out. Had some wonderful sightings. The tour guide is extremely knowledgeable. Had great info on both whales and Sydney history. Highly recommend.

Within 15 minutes from Sydney Harbour, we spotted a group of at least 8 humpback whales. We spotted whales the entire trip. Beautiful day. They served lunch. They explained the buildings and told us about the history of Sydney. Great day!

We really enjoyed our day whale watching, from the welcome onboard, the safety and seasickness advice, the meal was good, the interaction with the crew was good. We saw a couple of pods of whales, the crew gave a great commentary.

• Frequently asked questions about going on a Sydney Harbour lunch cruise
• Before you book a lunch cruise, it's helpful to understand the main types of experiences: the Buffet lunch cruise , where you can indulge in a variety of dishes served buffet-style; the Course meals cruise , providing a fine dining experience with multi-course à la carte menus; the Whale-watching cruise – letting you spot Humpback whales during their migration, and a Tall Ship cruise , offering the experience of being a pirate in the harbor’s waters.
• There’s a cruise for every budget. Choose the Buffet lunch priced at AU$75 , perfect if you’re traveling with family and want a peaceful experience! If the vibes are romantic and you’re looking to make an impression, we’d recommend the 2 or 3 course menu with window seats. The special seating will make it a little expensive, but you’ll be in an intimate setting with your beloved enjoying cheese boards, charcuterie, and cocktails all at the price of AU$117 !
• When it comes to food options, each cruise type offers a distinct dining experience. The Buffet Lunch cruise provides a quintessential Australian style BBQ lunch, while the Course Meals cruise features carefully curated cheese and charcuterie boards, including options like A ustralian Premium Wagyu Beef. 
• Seating options are available exclusively on the Course Meals cruises , where you can opt for a window seat to enjoy front-seat views of Sydney Harbour while dining in comfort and style.

What your Sydney Harbour cruise experience looks like: Luxurious meals, Sydney Opera House, and more!

Sydney Harbour Bridge 

Soak in the beauty of the Sydney Harbour Bridge while indulging in a scrumptious lunch aboard.

• Lunch timings: Most cruises begin around 11am or 12pm, so make sure to get to your boarding point at least 30 minutes in advance. 
• Best weather: If you want to enjoy warm weather and sunshine, aim for a lunch cruise between late spring (October/November) and early autumn (March/April) . These months offer pleasant temperatures and mostly sunny skies.
• Weekend vs weekday: We’d recommend opting for the 3-course lunch cruise for a luxurious weekend lunch lasting a whopping 4 hours. For a nice weekday experience, we’d recommend the 2-course cruise as it lasts a maximum of 2.5 hours.

Circular Quay : 

• Train: Arrive at Circular Quay Station, which is directly connected to the wharf area.
• Ferry: Multiple ferries service Circular Quay. Wharves 2, 3, 4, or 6 are most common for whale watching cruises.
• Light Rail: Circular Quay is a stop on the light rail network.
• Walking: Easily accessible from the city center (15-30 minutes).

Darling Harbour :  

• Train: Town Hall Station is a short walk (10 minutes) from Darling Harbour. Wynyard Station is also an option with a slightly longer walk (15 minutes).
• Ferry: Wharves 4 or 5 at Darling Harbour service ferries.
• Walking: Not as central as Circular Quay, but accessible on foot from the city center (20-30 minutes).

• Listen to the crew: The captain and crew are there for your safety. Pay close attention to their instructions regarding movement on the boat, especially when seas are rough.
• Life jackets: Life jackets will be provided, and you may be required to wear them at all times. Know where yours is located and how to put it on properly.
• Stay seated: Avoid standing on railings or leaning over the edge of the boat. Find your designated seats and hold on when instructed by the crew.

Frequently asked questions about Sydney Harbour lunch cruises

You can choose between a buffet option , a 2 course meal , or a 3 course meal or whale watching cruises . All cruises go on at least 2 circuits of the harbor, so choose your meal options according to your preferences! 

You’ll get a guaranteed meal based on your preferences, a full circuit of the harbor, air conditioning, open air viewing decks, and the option to choose a window seat!

If you’re unable to spot any whales during your whale-watching cruise, don’t worry! You’ll get a free return ticket to go cruising for whales again, valid for a full year.

As these cruises are quite famous and could get filled up quickly, we’d recommend booking them about 2-3 weeks in advance, just to be safe.

We’d recommend dressing in smart casuals, just note that you might not be allowed on the cruise in swimwear, flip-flops, or beachwear. Jeans, shirts and shorts are completely fine to wear!

Absolutely! All lunch cruises offer vegan and gluten free options in their menu, so feel free to let your servers know your preferences.

The buffet lunch cruise is not accessible for people with back and neck problems, serious medical conditions, injuries, and pregnant women. The 2 or 3 course lunch cruises are accessible to wheelchair users, and also allow service dogs and pets, as long as they’re restrained on board.
