Such a fun experience! We weren't sure if we would enjoy a slow cruise around the harbour, but the high tea really made the experience unique and extra fun. Plus the staff were great, the views were beautiful, and it was an excellent way to see the city from a different vantage point.

The idea of a relaxing high tea was great but it was very noisy

We loved this, but you need to book a window seat which we didn't realise at time of booking, so we were placed in the middle of all these other tables on the outside of the room, big party which meant big noise. We asked could we be moved to the back of the cruise where another 2 people were sitting, and for an extra $15.00 each we were moved, then it became what it was suppose to be relaxing! The only problem we had was that the sun was in the wrong spot so the windows of the cruise were very dirty so sometimes you couldn't make out some things on the land that the commentary was talking about.
