The basics

Sightseeing cruises are the most popular way to explore Sydney Harbour. Opt for a scenic lunch cruise, admire the illuminated city skyline on a romantic dinner cruise, take a whale-watching cruise, or book one with a stop at Goat Island or Fort Denison. For birds-eye views, soar overhead on a helicopter tour, or get back to nature on a walking tour of Sydney Harbour National Park.

This is a lovely cruise taking in all of the sights of Sydney harbour and seeing the fantastic houses that surround it. There is a lovely lunch given and plenty of it finished off with a piece of cake and a tea or coffee.

Sydney Harbour Discovery Cruise Including Lunch
The boat was sparkling clean. The food was delicious and even included huge fresh prawns. No limit on serving sizes or repeat servings. But apart from the spectacular scenery the staff were world class. Rachael was bubbly and eager to assist and the tour guide was knowledgeable and entertaining. Went on my own as my wife was hitting the department stores in the city but might just do it again next week with her.

Sydney Harbour Jet Boat Thrill Ride: 30 Minutes
Great captain, great crew! Fun ride. More extreme than I expected but captain checked with everyone constantly. They took photos since you had to lock your gear up.. for safety reasons.

Sydney Harbour Tour by Helicopter
My wife andI we’re very impressed with this helicopter trip. We were collected from the hotel and driven to the airport where we could see other trips taking off and landing. The pilot was very good and informative during our flight. The views were amazing. Safety was paramount.
