Frequently Asked Questions
Unfortunately, this boat is not wheelchair accessible.
Yes, these boats have onboard toilet facilities. However, you will not be on the boat for more than 45 minutes at a time.
Camera, hat & sunglasses. A jacket or jumper (it can still get a bit chilly on the water, even in summer!). Swimming attire and a towel if you want to swim. Comfortable shoes or sandals (no heels), as you will be walking on the beach.
No, it is not permitted to bring a baby. All children must be able to take a seat due to safety requirements and remain seated on the boat for up to 45 minutes. However there are child life jackets available.
The boat is not suitable for anyone with mobility issues because we have 3 beach stops and toilet facilities are for emergencies only. However, we have had guests in their 80s who are relatively fit and mobile who have had hugely enjoyable experiences. So age is not a barrier, just attitude and mobility.
We recommend all guests bring sun protection, but also a jacket because it can get a bit chilly on the water, even in summer. Casual shoes or sandals are best because we land on islands and beaches.

This trip was purchased to commemorate my anniversary with my partner, and the views were breathtaking. The boat was fantastic, as was the commentary. We couldn't have asked for a better way to celebrate our anniversary. Both the standard dishes and the vegetarian options were excellent. We were pleasantly surprised by the low cost of beverages on board. The service was excellent, the crew and staff were friendly and attentive, and we appreciated the informative and entertaining commentary along the way. We strongly recommend this experience.

What fun it will be out on the sea! The guides were a pleasure to be with; they were informed, kind, and delighted to have us aboard their boat. If you're looking for a harbour excursion that allows you to view more of Sydney Harbour and gets you into every nook and cranny, look no further. Without a doubt, you won't be let down.
