Sydney Harbour Cruise

Sydney is best understood from the water. Harbour cruises leave from Circular Quay and Darling Harbour, gliding past the Opera House, under the 1932 Harbour Bridge and out past Fort Denison and the sandstone headlands towards the Pacific.

Choose a one-hour sightseeing loop, a lunch cruise or an evening dinner cruise with the city lights reflected in the harbour; we request vegetarian menus when we book. For a local experience, the public ferry from Circular Quay to Manly takes about 30 minutes and ends at a long surf beach with a lively promenade.

Sunset sailings are the most popular, so we reserve them a few days ahead in summer. Thrill-seekers can add the BridgeClimb, a guided climb over the arch of the Harbour Bridge with sweeping views of the city.
