Cheap harbor tour - Very convenient way to travel and sight see other areas of Sydney. The boats are punctual and comfortable. We really enjoyed exploring and shopping at Manly beach. Did I mention, this pass is wayyyy cheaper than the local public boat. I spent $50 one way across the harbor w the local boat. With this hop on hop off u can stop wherever u want as long as u want and not worry about paying for each trip. Well worth just as a tour of Sydney Harbor but even better with the stops.

Great transportation around Sydney Harbor. - Very convenient to many spots in the harbour including Manly Beach and the Zoo. Boats left at the exact time on the schedule. Stop by their booth at Circular Quay for exact departure schedule- it varies by day of the week. It might be a bit more expensive than the ferries but worth it for a first time visitor.

Great boat ride - This harbor boat ride was perfect for us. We got great views of the Opera House and Harbor bridge. We got off at one stop and had lunch at a waterside restaurant. We enjoyed a nice lunch and enjoyed the water front marina. We finished the day with a stop a Tanonga Zoo. The boat was a great way to see the harbor sights as well as get around.

Manly Beac - The timetable was very limited and we couldn't go to all the destinations as this was not on offer. I felt a bit et down by that. The beaches were beautiful and the sun made it for us

Definitely worth the money, especially for the two day trip. - The tour was exactly as I had expected. It was very convenient, especially the two day tour, to visit the places I had always wanted to see. Very comfortable very enjoyable.

OK Ferry Ride - Nice ride but no commentary on what you are seeing. Sold like On Off bus but has no commentary. Simply a ferry ride. Other better option

How can they run morning ferries when the ticket office does not even open until nearly noon? - Very disappointed with Captain Cook Cruises: their schedule listed ferries running from Circular Quay from 08:00 onward, but their ticket office wasn't even open until nearly 10:00 AM! The entire line of tourists waiting for that ticket office to open grew to a ridiculous size, and the inability to travel at their scheduled times threw off our entire planned itinerary for Watsons Bay and Manly that day. We ended up giving up and took the local fast ferry instead to Watsons Bay; as a plus, it runs on the Opal system so there's a maximum limit on how much we would have to pay for travel that day. However, in order to get to Manly from Watsons Bay, we still had to take a private ferry and that afternoon, it ended up being with Captain Cook Cruises. Payment was simple by credit card. The trip was a bit off schedule (late) but the arrival time was close enough to the schedule. (The trip home to Circular Quay, we were able to take a local fast ferry again from Manly.)
