I was lucky enough to buy a ticket for an amazing cruise on Sydney Harbour. It was onboard the Historic DANISH ship Svanen and had a fun Aussie BBQ and ate Australian prawns toooo!!! I sat back and enjoyed the sunset on the harbour and spoke to the fun crew who let me help hoist the sails. I reccomend trying... more

Sea Sydney Cruises is a company offering general or personalised cruises around the bay in Sydney. It was recommended to me by friends who had been very satisfied by the service they had offered. I went on their basic “cruise like a local”, and enjoyed an extensive view of the bays around Sydney during the four hour trip. A very... more

Just about to return to the UK after an amazing time in Ozz.... Loved every second of my trip, from the beaches, to the outback, the light, the people & animals... I went on the Tall Ship with my family and couldn't have hoped to feel any better! The crew was absolutely fantastic, and the views of the city from... more

I was listening to the radio last week in Sydney and heard some comments on Sydney harbour cruises! The main feedback was that they are rather boring and a bit expensive... and then this lady called and started going on and on an on about the Sydney Harbour Tall Ships!!! She took it as an exemple of a fun, entertaining,... more

If all these cruises and things sound mundane and you have a bit of time.... then NOTE: Sydney harbour is very safe and any adult can hire a "tinny" (small runabout boat) for under $100 bucks and get out and cruise the harbour yourself.

The Harbour Bridge goes over it, Circular Quay is on it, The Opera House overlooks it, The Sydney Tower has great views of it and you even fly over it on the way into Sydney airport depending on the approach direction. However the... more

There are approx. 5 outfits that I've seen that offer jetboat rides on the harbour. Some use relatively large boats and simply whizz by from one place to the next' others have small, fast, 'naval commando' type boats designed to give you a bigger speed thrill; and others still use smallish jetboats the primary purpose of which is to get... more

I was initially skeptical about whale-watching in Sydney at this time of year (early Spring) -- the likelihood of seeing whales seemed somewhat dismal, but we decided to venture out on an "Eco-tour" offered by a small Sydney-based sailing company. We at least thought we would be given a reasonably comfortable and enjoyable tour around Sydney harbour and coastline. It... more

While in Sydney I did a 1 hour cruise of the harbor starting from Circular Quay, which is great way to get a different perspective on some of Sydney's sights. From the water we were able to get a great view of the Harbor Bridge and Opera House, Luna Park, Shark Island and also got an amazing view of the... more
