great experience!!!

Service: Would buy from Captain Cook Cruises again as service both at time of purchase and when carrying out the activity.
Product: The hop on, hop off service was very good, some great sights to see and interesting facts learned. Whilst the zoo trip was also good it was not quite as impressive as it’s billing suggested. Overall though a very enjoyable package.

Service: Cruise to Taronga Zoo is perfect and easy, ontime, clean, spacious, baby stroller friendly
Product: Cruise with zoo entry ticket price is affordable

Service: Boat staff very polite and helpful. I found the timetable confusing. It would be great if the ferry went to all the places in a circular pattern so you could more easily get to all the places. The tickets are over priced. We were lucky about getting children for free otherwise way to high.
Product: I purchased ticket online but then when I got the ferry we had to go back to the office and exchange for another type of ticket. This should not be necessary especially since the ferry service starts prior to office opening or you could be starting at other points on the harbour.

Friendly Staff on all ferries used!

Product: The zoo was highly overrated. The only unique thing about it was the view.

Excellent service - first from the woman in the Darling Harbour Office; she was so very helpful and pleasant; she even helped us manouevre my travel mobility scooter on board! Then the staff on the boats - they made sure we (and my scooter) got safely on and off the boat each time, and gave us advice for the zoo.

Booking was easy from their website thought it was odd that they still require a printed confirmation - not really friendly if you’re traveling and without a printer.

Entering the zoo, cable car and ferry was fuss free. Our pickup from zoo to Circular Quay was about 15minutes late. Please note on schedule because if you miss the ferry you might need to wait up to an hour.

Service: Onboard service was great! The commentators were superb, knowledgeable and entertaining. A pity didn't get his name. He sings and he offers to help take picture for everyone.

One thing to highlight is the service at the counter at Darling Harbour. The lady could be a little more helpful in providing information. Went on Fri to collect our tickets but told her would only go to the zoo the next day. She gave us a timetable for Mon-Fri which I didnt realise till Sat when I waited for 9.40am ferry which only came at 10am.
Product: Mentioned in the earlier review

Service: staff were great as always .the new timetables is frustrating with long delays between ferries or inadequate time to transfer at barangaroo.Will certainly use again though
Product: 40 minute wait to get in. Wouldn`t want to be paying fullprice for this attraction as the content and size of displays has been further downsized since we visited in May .less to see ...huge distance to the toilets ...toilets filthy

Service: Fantastic experience. The staff were friendly and professional, the ride comfortable and entertaining and the value for the money was excellent. Would highly recommend them. We used them several times to get from harbor to harbor on our trip to Sydney, Australia.
Product: Great value for the level of service.

Service: Ferries were neat and tidy. Services were on time. The lady giving the commentary from Darling Harbour over to Manly was brilliant.
Product: Easy as. Done over the Internet. Collected the ticket at Manly Wharf. Heidi was most helpful.

Service: Fabulous afternoon! The whales didn’t let us down!
Product: Fabulous time at the zoo!

Service: Helpful staff. Comments on the area history was great.
Not a regular service but coped.
Ok for value I think.
Product: Price ok I think.
Great it was for two days and why I bought this one as some were only one day which is no good.

Service: Fantastic as a non Sydneysider to explore the city and get interesting info. Staff helpful and ship clean and comfortable.
Product: Great value entry to the zoo and 2 days of ferries.

Great

Service: My family & I had a memorable experience with the Captain Cook Hop-On Hop Off Cruises during our recent visit to Australia. The cruise were punctual and their staff were always serving with a smile. We enjoyed the beautiful scenery that Sydney had to offer through the cruise as well as on land during our stops. Definitely would recommend it to family and friends.
Product: My family & I had taken up the 48 hour Hop-on Hop-off cruise which comes with SeaLife tickets. It was an amazing experience for all of us. Definitely a holiday filled with memories.

Overall was great, easy online booking and very friendly staff on board. Kids enjoyed the ride as much as we did.

only hiccup was twice we were at dock on time but ferry left already. first one we thought might be our watch are abit late. so we waited 45 minutes (suppose 30 minutes according the time table - 15 minutes late) for next ferry. second one we were at circular quay with a clock at the terminal. when we got there same thing happened right on time but ferry was long gone. so my advice is arrive early to avoid miss the ferry.

Service: Yes we like them but we feel that the cruise times and locations are a bit confusing.
If for instance I want to go from one side of Darling harbour to the other not all boats do this. It would be much easier if all boats went in the same loop from one spot. For instance why do they need 2 moorings at Darling Harbour on the aquatics centre side? Just have 1 mooring at pier 26 next to Madame Tussauds
Product: I liked Madame Tussauds but why have a waxwork of Curtis Stone? Much better to have one of Gordon Ramsey.

Everyone was really helpfull with information and help. Would absolutely recommend it.

Service: Service was excellent, fast and friendly. There was some issues with the Big Bus and Anne from Pier 26 was extremely sufficient in helping us sort out the problem.
Product: The harbour cruise was amazing. Sea Life, the zoo and Madame Tussaud's lived up to our expectations. Unfortunately the Big Bus Tour wasted about 5 hours of our last day in Sydney as they didn't want to accept our Captain Cook ticket. Eventually, with a lot of help from Captain Cook staff, the problem was sorted. I would suggest more consistency in this regard, but other than this, everything was fantastic.

Service: Convenient, hassle free and the crew is friendly and helpful
Product: One of best zoos we’ve ever been too. Also offers great views of the city, harbor bridge and opera house

It was a great way to see the city from the water. And, we were able to spend some time exploring some of the stops.

Service: Very friendly staff onboard. Very informative, pointing out landmarks as we passed them etc
Product: The boat was very late (which I know can’t be helped sometimes).

We took the hop-on, hop-off ferry to explore several Sydney sites including the zoo and Manly. I wish there were more options from the zoo in the afternoon towards Manly. The ferries were on time and easy to use. It's a good deal to include the zoo ticket with the ferry. We didn't get any commentary on our last trip from Manly to Barangaroo, so we must have gotten onto a commuting vessel instead of a tourist vessel. Great views at sunset heading back into the city.

Service: great service and it was fun catching the ferry to Taronga zoo.
Product: good value, found website as a bit hard to find details.

Service: Few people knew about the deal or could advise on how best to take advantage of it. Many of the customer service people were unhelpful and impatient.
Product: Misleading and not the greatest value for money.

Amazing. I would highly recommend

Service: Cruise are on time, but not so stroller friendly for the hoho as we need to carry the stroller ourselves in and out the hoho.
Product: Great experience with the hoho

We were stranded when the ferry didn’t make a scheduled stop. Offered no compensation and no apology. Disappointed!

Fantastic boats - fast, clean, on -time and very helpful staff.

Service: It was very informative.
We had a wonderful time
Product: There was a lot of stuff for us to see. Only wish we had more time

Service: Thank you Captain Cook Cruises. I and my wife really enjoyed the ferry rides. The reception staff was very helpful in giving directions and also thoughtful by marking times on the timetable to clarify the ferry times for our ferry trips. Service at the reception was fast and queue was short so no long wait time. The same excellence in service was matched by the caring staff on the ferry. The commentaries during the ferry ride were interesting, personal and not repetitive. The ferry ride was very enjoyable with great scenic views. The ferry seemed clean and well maintained from external. The ganger bridge was easy to cross.
Product: Good value for money matched with good service

Very organised service with great options to get to nearby attractions. Comfortable boat and great commentary.

excellent service

Service: Exceptional cruise
Product: Great transport to and from zoo

Service: I felt bad because of the inequalities of the employees. You had boat captains and some assistants who were fantastic and timely, but other support staff in the office who barely knew what was going on and people putting out the ramps on their cell phones and not listening to the captain's instructions.

Anyway, the service worked great for our purposes, just funny to watch a dysfunctional organization with poor employees try to put themselves together. The captain would often look at the paying customers with his head in his hands apologizing.
Product: With the discount, it made the ZOO + HOHO a good deal.

Service: The Hop On Hp Off Ferry was the easiest way to see the best sights in Sydney. The only problem we had was that we were trying to catch the last ferry of the night from Circular Quay to Darling Harbour, we asked the captain when we were dropped off to make sure we knew where to be to catch the ferry back. While we waited for the last ferry with 11 other passengers, we watched the ferry come in at a different location and leave without us. A taxi boat then informed us that during special events like Vivid, the ferries could not stop where we were. Frustrated that we had been stranded on Circular Quay, we walked to the other pier. The last ferry in, that was no longer taking passengers, was nice enough to take us closer to where we were originally getting off. That captain saved the night.
Product: Great price for easy transportation in Sydney!
