The Wharf from where the Cruise starts is next to Opera House. Very convenient. One can combine it with experiencing of visit to Opra House

It did what we had expected. A catamaran. No frills. Helpful crew. The meeting point was good. It's right next to the Opera House. Wish the description had said so because it took us a while to understand and find it. The cruise timing was good, right during the sunset time. I'd recommend this tour.

Great one hour spent on the boat. Pleasant stuff, nice food and refreshments. Assumed Sunset and Sparkle includes bubbles and nighttime illumination of Opera house and other sites, but bubbles were “bring your own” and it was still light even at the end of the cruise. Otherwise, will recommend

A bit overpriced for what you get given that it's BYOB and there aren't any drinks included, but they do put you in the best sunset viewing locations at the right times out in the harbor. We got to take some great pictures from the front of the boat, but all seats definitely aren't created equal! Be there early if you want to be able to pick your seat.
