Proposed to my now fiance and could not recommend VIP any more highly. The guys and the night were amazing. After dinner at Darling Harbour on a Saturday night, they were on time to pick us up outside of our restaurant and took us to a beautiful spot on the harbour, right on sunset. Everything but the weather went to plan, but it made for an unforgettable evening. Even with rain, the boat was still undercover and made for some beautiful photos. If you need the perfect private place to propose, right in the middle of Sydney, with iconic views, I can definitely recommend Ron and Don.

We recently used the Water Taxi service with Fantasea from Circular Quay back to Darling Harbour. The boat was clean and the driver Steve was fantastic. He was great with kids and he even stopped with great views of the harbour bridge so we could take pictures. Would really recommend 5*
9. Harbour Ferry Wharves

Reviewed By 750dimitrisl - Sydney, Australia
This is a very busy area of Sydney. Apart from the ferry wharves there is Circular Quay railway station, which is directly above the wharves, and there are buses, trams, taxis and other modes of transport nearby as well. The famous Rocks area is only a few steps away. This part of the Harbour is the place to hop on a ferry and travel to several other parts of Sydney, or just go on a cruise. There are also many cafes, restaurants and Take Away food outlets to satisfy all tastes. And the views are absolutely fantastic. Worth a visit.
