What Our Customers Think
       

Sydney Harbour Treasure Hunt has been a great success right from the start, and we are very proud of the feedback we've received, so we thought we'd share it with you! It's always been our aim to provide clients with a fulfilling experience they will never forget, so for all those who took the trouble to contact us, please accept our thanks.

Just touching base to express our sincere thanks for a fabulous afternoon on Friday. The new team thoroughly enjoyed the treasure hunt, one person commented it was their 'best afternoon ever'. The team really felt they got to know each other better, enjoying a fun, interactive afternoon. Thank you! Thank you!!! I would not hesitate recommending SHTH to colleagues & friends. Nicole Grant, Sydney IVF

A huge thank you to everyone for a fantastic afternoon! It was marvellous, and ALL reports were nothing but positive! I had nearly every single person tell what a great time they had, and I know myself and my team had a ball! The pirate facilitators were great fun, they really do it well and get everyone going
.
Kristi - Pepsico

It was Awesome! We had the worst weather ever as it rained hard and the wind blowed a gale ! We laughed with Chris (our pirate facilitator) and got into a competitive spirit – this was so good for our interstate people as we were all able to  get to know one another and  be at the same level regardless of job title.THANK YOU SO MUCH !  I WILL RECOMMEND YOUR COMPANY NOW AND FOREVER!!!! Angela View Hotels

We only had a small team of 18 but we thoroughly enjoyed the day. The hunt encouraged team cohesion and people forged new friendships. It remained competitive until the very end when the bounty was divided. Thanks for the organisation and Captain Peter O'Toole was a blast! Enjoyed by all, Aaarrrgh! What a great way to spend a sunny work day - on the harbour and exploring the rocks. Deborah Chapman - Unilever September

Our team and myself would like to thank you for a wonderful event you put on for us yesterday! It was an absolute hit and everybody has come to me this morning tell me what a fabulous time they had running around the rocks finding clues and of course drinking  beer along the way! I would especially like to thank the Pirates and they did a wonderful job.
I will highly recommend this to anybody who is interested in hosting a team building activity.
Once again Thanks a million! Gloria Vodafone September

"Our Human Resource team really enjoyed the treasure hunt. The tasks were challenging
and really made us think. They certainly drew on our various skills! Going on the islands in the harbour was a great opportunity and our Brisbane colleagues got a great day out in our beautiful city. I'll certainly be recommending this event to other departments and friends." Naomi Webb, Volvo

"Our team thoroughly enjoyed the event. It can be hard to find an event that suits all personalities so we were thrilled when so many staff enjoyed the afternoon as much as they did. Than you again for your prompt responses to our questions and arranging a successful event!"  Juli Stanborough - ING

"It was a great way to get out of the meeting room for some fresh air and exercise - my team absolutely loved it - one of the best team building activities we've ever done." - Colleen McArthur - Schering Plough

" Many thanks for a flawless day. We had ample opportunity for team building and thoroughly enjoyed our facilitator pirates - argh! Mission accomplished with flying colours." Staff  - Allianz

"I would like to say Thank You for having our group and putting on a tremendous day. All our feedback was positive and everyone had a great time. Our Conference was a success due to the efforts of you and your team so THANK YOU once again."

Carmelina Portelli - Pfizer - March 2006

" A great day had by all, there were a few hesitations from some people about the concept but at the end of the day everyone got into the spirit and I have only received positive comments back from the participants. It was a fun event that required little organisation from our perspective, so I appreciate the effort and organisation by Sydney Harbour Treasure Hunt to make it a successful day." - Rochelle Kramer - Bentleys MRI Sydney -  

"Thank you for having such a wonderful activity for people to have such a great experience, it is something you would always like to do (Amazing Race) and we had the chance to do it. Once again, thank you to Sally and Paul they were great. A great team building experience." - Nadine Moffat - AAPT -

"This was great. It was the best day I have had for a very long time & it certainly was a great day to recommend to other people looking for something to do around Sydney. Great team building day. Very beneficial for us as a team." - Tagan - AAPT -

"What a fantastic day we had! The team and myself thoroughly enjoyed our afternoon on land and sea. The perfect blend of "Amazing Race" meets "Pirates of the Caribbean". Special thanks to Pirate Sally for her enthusiasm and humour. I will definitely be recommending Sydney Treasure Hunt to my peers both internally and at other organisations. What a fabulous concept - keep up the good work!" - Rebecca Harding - Fuji Film Australia - September 2005

"This was the best group activity we've ever done. To enjoy the beautiful harbour and the charming Rocks area in such an adventurous way was just the perfect mix. The award ceremony was corrupt, and fraught with dodgy deals. These are the bitter words from a second-place getter!" Joanne O'Dwyer - Total Learn -

"Overall, a fantastic day was had by all. We were actually surprised at how competitive the treasure hunt made us all. A wonderful team building experience. We would love to come back and see you again at some other time, we have not stopped talking about it this morning." Kristen Devane - NAB -

"We had a great day and it was fantastic to see everyone participate and get into the spirit and theme of treasure hunting. Would highly recommend as a team reward or team buildling day."
- Kimberly Bustamante - EMC -

"We had a fantastic day, everyone has come into work raving about what a wonderful day they had. It was a great opportunity for our group to pull together as a team, in a fun environment. There was not one person who wasn't smiling and even some or our quietest people shone through. This event has so far been described as our best one yet. Thankyou."
- Katherine True - IAG - 

"On behalf of all the staff here at Quay Appointments we would like to say a big Thank You for such a fantastic day for us!! We thoroughly enjoyed ourselves and would recommend this to other companies for a great team building or staff get together. We had loads of fun and frankly can't wait till the next one!!"
- Sam Meleah - Quay Appointments -

"We just had the best time. It is still being talked about 3 days later and all on the team agree it was one of the best work functions they have been to. We feel sorry for Harts pub because we didn't want to leave! I couldn't recommend this highly enough for the right click of people."- Bianca Tomkins - Vero, June 2

"It was a fantastic day, which I think everyone enjoyed. It catered to all levels of ability, made people laugh, relax and get to know each other. The mix of being on the water and on foot was great. It has been a pleasure dealing with you. Thanks for a very memorable team building day. "
- Helena Hurley - Mission Australia

"An exciting, fun day that struck a careful balance between physical excursion, mental skill, light hearteness and of course, deception. Well done."
- Martin Wells - Dot, 

"It was an absolutely excellent day. It achieved everything we wanted from the day - teams were built, skullduggery perpetrated and deals struck. Just what all sales teams need! All the staff from Gillian down to Master Bates got right into organising the day so it met our wishes. A great day, a great idea and a great value for money team building event. Even for landlubbers!"
- Barbara Prior - Tech Pacific,

"The entire team thoroughly enjoyed the team building exercise. It’s probably one of the best ice breakers I have ever been involved in. Thankyou to your entire team."  
- Cable & Wireless Optus

"Thankyou very much for your great committment! We were worried we wouldn't enjoy it because of the weather, but it turned out even funnier. All our students commented they had a great time." 

- Aki Plume - UTS International Sponsored Students

"We would like to take this opportunity to thank you for organising our Investment & Marketing Services team activity on Sydney Harbour and in The Rocks. The afternoon was a great success and provided the opportunity for our staff to engage in activities that promoted teamwork and relationship building. Thankyou to you and your staff for making the afternoon such a great success."  
- MLC,

"Thanks to both Gillian & Captain No Beard for an awesome afternoon. The whole hunt was organised so professionally & so well thought out, it completely exceeded our expectations. It helped our sales teams pull together and work as a team which was obviously one of our goals. We all had a fantastic time." 
- Vodafone,

"Everyone at Terrapinn had a fantastic time. The whole afternoon was perfect and a great switch off for everyone. We had lots of fun and got to know our colleagues better. We discovered all sorts of interesting things at the awards ceremony. I would highly recommend this to any company wanting a fun day out. Thanks again." 
- Tiffany Steel, Terrapin,

"I had a fantastic time and my guests have all said how unique and fun the party was I went to gorgeous parts of Sydney Harbour and The Rocks areas I didn’t even know existed! I had a lovely day – thankyou so much for having something like this available." 
- Michelle, 30th Birthday party, 
"The motivation at the start was brilliant. I honestly didn't think anybody could 'warm up' this bunch of straight accountants! We all liked the treasure hunt - the interactive side as well as the team-building side - that was our main objective and I really think we managed to nail it! The next day was spent mainly dissecting the whole event the night before and we have already been thrown the challenge to do better next year!!"  
- Suzanne Fitzpatrick, CBA,
"Thankyou so much for the Treasure Hunt. What a well thought out, professional and fun activity. Everyone raved about it and had such a great time. Special thanks to Captain No Beard for his contribution to keeping it fun! My client though it was a better activity than the Bridge Climb as it was such a good networking opportunity. Can't wait till the next one!" 
- Marina Nola, Eventive, NZ, 

"Thanks once again Gillian - we thorougly enjoyed ourselves, and I think the treasure hunt was a really positive, fun way to end our conference."  
- Eileen Brennan, Saville and Holdsworth, October 2000 

"It was a highly enjoyable and entertaining day. The team loved it and thought it was a great day out!"
- Jennifer Kam, IBM,
