Sydney Harbour is a stunning gem of natural beauty, one of the most magnificent harbours in the world and as the hub of this fantastic city it is the perfect place to view the spectacular Sydney Opera House and the Harbour Bridge amongst many other attractions.
Endless foreshores and natural reserves are perfectly positioned with exclusive real estate, parks and gardens attracting thousands of visitors each year. This marvellous haven is BIG, colourful and inviting with marine craft of every sort plying the waters year round.

There are many kilometres of walking tracks around the harbour foreshores but the best place to see the harbour is from on the water. Spending time on any of the many maritime vessels that plough the waters here is a real treat, Sydney Harbour Cruises
Private cruise operators offer lunch and dinner cruises, day sailing as well as excursions to most parts. These can vary greatly in price as can the operations, from short trips locally to show boat experiences with full cabaret dinners and dancing afterwards to the tunes of live bands on board.
