We booked this trip that included toronga zoo entry. Great service. Very friendly and helpful staff. Boat always right on time. Really enjoyed our day and experience. Would use again and highly recommend

DO NOT WASTE YOUR $$$ So bloody disappointing. Group of 11 of us went on the NY cruise… we got there at 7.30pm with boarding at 9.30, to ensure a good spot! What a waste of time… they had no structure or coordination with the queues. Absolutely no atmosphere, it was bloody boring! Saw the fireworks behind a bunch of heads and we kept floating behind another yacht so kept losing view. Relatives from UK came over as it should have been a spectacle and bucket list experience but no it wasn’t. I left miserable and not feeling excited or happy with the over $5k spent on this “experience”, just wanted to get home and get to bed. DONT DO IT. Find a better company to use…

Did the Sydney harbour sightseeing one hour cruise with the NRMA 20% discount. It was fine, but couldn’t hear a word of the commentary. He really needs to speak up. This was the 11.40am cruise on Friday Jan 3, 2025. Was seated upstairs. Boat was clean and seating was fine. Saw all the highlights like the bridge and opera house up close but would have liked to been able to hear the particulars of every where else.

It was more like a aquatic taxi rather than a cruising tour as advertised. we left from point to point visiting couple of places without any preview's briefing neither guided through to know where we were going or stopping at... we were completely lost as we didn't know whether we should bord off at some places or remain in the boat..... Not as advertised.

Not recommended for NYE fireworks. Terrible! It is a huge ferry with little comfort and privacy, very noisy. The boat departs at 22.15 and spends almost two hours on the water without any action which is boring. What a waste of time on NY. They forbid BYO or bringing your own wine but did not have any champagne or any other wine at NY saying it was sold quickly. The truth is they did not have it as I have not seen anybody with it. Shame on NY. The position of the boat to see the fireworks was miserable and too far to see good fireworks. Besides the boat always moved. Overall, it is a tourist trap and definitely not worth on NYE.

Extremely disappointed with our 5th Fantasea Boxing Day cruise. I want a refund or credit. Instead of the most exciting part going out the Heads to the ocean and following the fleet to as far as Maroubra, the skipper turned around and went back to Circular Quay. It wasn't too rough he was too slow following the Sydney to Hobart fleet and even stopped for ages while other spectator boats whizzed past.

Amazing views of the city and The Boxing Day yacht race. Will do it again. The captain and crew were excellent. Could not ask for anything more.

Went on fantasea cruises for the Sydney to Hobart and didn’t get to enjoy the full front of the experience promised. The Cruise turned around early with a lack of explanation and overall being lazy. The cruise *did not uphold* there promised journey to Bondi.

Awful. Only told once we’d bought the tickets that the weather conditions were bad. Everyone felt sea sick the whole time and we didn’t see any whales

Very rough. Most people were vomiting. Weirdly we headed out to see for the last 15 mins. The whales were good, but overall wouldn’t recommend.

We got to see whales. Not loads but the staff did their best given the poor conditions. But what we did see was fab and I’d recommend them

When they start the safety briefing with a huge emphasis on seasickness and offer out sick bags before you board the boat….. The trip is around 20-30 mins outside the harbour so you are in open sea, so they are not being dramatic! But they have good advice about how to minimise it and how to deal with it should you succumb! Aside from that, it was amazing- to see humpback whale calf and mother having fun was wonderful! Just make sure to hold on, stay in the fresh air and look at the horizon 😂 ! Definitely not for the weak of stomach! I’ve been on many boats and this was quite a surprise how rocky it was.

What an incredible experience. An element of luck comes with whale watching, and we got very lucky. We saw 3 different pods during our 2.5 hour trip. Two of which had very active breaching calves. Would definitely recommend! Bring a jacket and sunglasses to help protect from the wind as the boat picks up a lot of speed.

Bucket list tick! Thank you to Chris and the team for an informative and amazing whale watching experience. Thoroughly recommend. My mum had the best Birthday ever!

This was a total rip-off. It was NOT a "sightseeing cruise" as billed. The so-called commentary was under a minute of completely inaudible audio as we pulled out of Circular Quay - then silence. The route was identical to the much cheaper public ferries. We have taken two other actual sightseeing cruises of the harbor from other companies in past years. This was NOTHING like those actual tours.
