Perfect Afternoon Sailing Experience on Sydney Harbour
We had a fantastic afternoon cruise with Sydney Harbour Tall Ships! Sailing on a beautiful historic vessel made the experience feel truly special. The crew were friendly, knowledgeable, and made everyone feel welcome from the start. The afternoon views of Sydney Harbour were absolutely stunning, with perfect photo opportunities of the Opera House and Harbour Bridge. It was a relaxing, scenic, and unique way to spend the afternoon for Valentines Day — highly recommend to both locals and visitors!
Excellent tall ship adventure
Excellent, fun, informative sailing harbour adventure. Time flies when having fun!!!
What you can expect
If you've got a couple of hours to spare as you adventure around Sydney, then this Discievry cruise is perfect for you! Jump onboard a majestic 1850s-style timber tall ship and explore Sydney Harbour's iconic landmarks. Sail past the Opera House, Harbour Bridge, Fort Denison, Kirribilli House, Luna Park, Taronga Zoo, Admiralty House, and the stunning waterfront properties.
This magnificent square rigger, with its three towering masts over 24 metres high, offers an interactive experience. Help set the sails or simply relax and enjoy the crew's entertainment. As the flagship of the Bicentennial First Fleet reenactment in 1988, this historic vessel is the last of its kind on Sydney Harbour. Discover Sydney the way explorers did 200 years ago!

Terrible Experience ? Complete Disappointment!
Booked a Tall Ship Tour for my family today, and it turned out to be a total disaster. We arrived at the meeting point on time, only to wait for nearly an hour?but there was no ship in sight. Not even a toy ship! Around 25 other guests were also left standing there, waiting endlessly with no updates. Tried calling the main office, and the person who answered simply told us to "wait a bit longer" but admitted they couldn?t reach the local team. No staff, no communication?completely unprofessional! After hours of waiting and multiple phone calls, they finally told us to just go home and expect a refund. What about the hassle we all went through? Families with young children stuck in the heat, wasting their holiday plans for nothing. No sincere apology?just a generic email saying "thanks for your patience." If you can?t run this tour properly, you shouldn?t be selling tickets. Management needs to take responsibility, acknowledge the frustration caused, and actually apologize to the people who lost their time, money, and holiday plans. Would never recommend this experience to anyone! ? 0/5 ? Avoid at all costs!
