Our take
Captain Cook's high tea cruise is the afternoon option on our harbour cruises page. It leaves Circular Quay Wharf 6 at 2pm for 90 minutes, with a glass of sparkling wine on boarding and a sweet and savoury high tea served while you cruise past the Opera House and under the Bridge. Other drinks are sold on board. It rates around 4.4.
The boat is wheelchair accessible on the main deck, and prams and infant seats are fine, but the upper decks are reached by stairs only, so ask about seating when you book if that matters. Check in at the Wharf 6 ticket office 30 minutes before. It costs more than the plain 90-minute sightseeing cruise from the same wharf, and the difference is the food and sparkling wine. Free cancellation applies up to 24 hours before.
Good for
- An afternoon treat on the water with food included
- Groups with a wheelchair user, on the main deck
Think twice if
- You want a guide explaining the sights. Take a commentary cruise
- You want a proper meal. See the lunch cruises
