10 Boat Tours & Water Sports in Central Business District That You Shouldn't Miss

October 8, 2021 Merry Kessler

Sydney offers plenty of historical and contemporary Australian flavor. The marvelous Sydney Opera House looks like a great origami sailboat, floating peacefully in a harbor. Wander the narrow cobblestone streets of The Rocks and then take in a street performance on the Circular Quay before heading into the Museum of Contemporary Art. The views from the Sydney Tower Eye observatory are epic – use this chance to get to know the layout of the city from high above.

We have Tours to suit people of all ages, tastes and fitness levels. Some of the experiences you can choose from on our tours include; Dolphin and Whale Watching Cruises, Hiking through National Parks, hanging out with Kangaroos, Koalas, Wombats, Wallabies and native Australian Birds, along with an amazing Wine Tour. We offer a choice of one day and two day Tours and our Tours include everything - hotel pick-ups, delicious meals, snacks, refreshments, accommodation (on two day tours) and entry fees to all attractions.

Alternatively we can arrange either a BYO or Catered charter to suit your occasion from entertaining overseas visitors, business meetings, family outings etc. Many of our Harbour tours are structured, however some of our best experiences have been freestyle were we have cruised to suit your needs and interest on the day. Our Boat is an Australian Built Riviera 44. We carry 12 passengers plus 2 crew, which means plenty of room for everyone.
