Good to know
This suits visitors wanting to tick off Sydney's iconic spots in one outing without multiple bookings. The small minivan group (max 14) keeps the land portion intimate, though the cruise vessel accommodates up to 80, so the water portion is busier. It's accessible for all fitness levels and families with infants (specialised seats and pram space available). Casual dress is fine. Note: hotel drop-off is not included, only pickup. Tours may be cancelled or altered due to extreme weather, road closures or fire bans; minimum passenger numbers apply, and you may be offered an alternative or full refund if numbers don't meet requirements.
