Best Morning Cruises Worldwide: Our Top 2

1.Sydney Combo: Morning Sightseeing to Bondi & Harbour Lunch Cruise

★★★★★★★★★★4.5 · 61 reviews · from $176Our pick

Cover Sydney’s essential sights in 5 hours 45 minutes, from The Rocks and Mrs Macquarie’s Chair to Bondi Beach, then board a two-hour lunch cruise from Circular Quay. A maximum of 14 people ride in the Mercedes minibus, while the boat carries up to 80. Guides may include Graham, Nigel, Paul, Tyler, Vic, or Karyn.

“The bus driver named Graham seemed to be fixated on prostitution, and was very misogynistic in his conversation. He didn't respond at all to my reminding him over and over that females are not the only ones involved in prostitution and honestly I found it very inappropriate. It made for an uncomfortable and unpleasant bus ride as he went around and asked everyone about prostitution in their countries and women and sex and just really he needs to be reeducated. Or fired.”
