Hop On Hop Off Cruise from Circular Quay or Darling Harbour

Before 9:00 AM, you need to redeem your tickets at the Captain Cook counter at Circular Quay Wharf 6. The ferry schedule is quite frequent, with services running every half hour to an hour on weekdays. You can start as early as 9:00 AM and continue until 6:00 or 7:00 PM. Note that some stops are not serviced by every ferry, so be sure to check the last departure times. We visited three locations in one day: Taronga Zoo, Manly Beach, and Watsons Bay – a full and fun-filled day! The zoo opens at 9:30 AM, and it's very large with a wide variety of animals. There are also shows and performances. To see everything thoroughly will take about 4 hours and requires some stamina. A great feature is that most of the zoo has sloped walkways, making it very suitable for families with strollers or wheelchairs. In the afternoon, we visited Manly Beach, which is beautiful and has many souvenir shops to browse. I recommend Manly Grill, a delicious steak restaurant 😋. In the evening, we went to Watsons Bay to see the cliffs, which require climbing some stairs. It's a spectacular view, but it can be a bit chilly. Overall, it's worth the ticket price. If you're on a free and easy trip to Sydney, consider experiencing this. You can see the Sydney Opera House and Harbour Bridge along the ferry route, and every photo you take will be beautiful! For those with children, elderly companions, or those who aren't in top physical condition, I recommend purchasing a 2-day pass so you can enjoy it at a more relaxed pace. Otherwise, completing all these activities in one day can be quite tiring 😂.

I always use this HOHO pass whenever I visit Sydney. It’s definitely a deal! Here’s a tip - if you take the cruise on a weekend, you’ll be able to board from Darling harbour (1st stop) and beat the crowds (most board the cruise at Circular Quay (2nd stop)). More importantly, you will also be able to pass through the famous Harbour bridge, right under it. What a sight! I recommend using this to go to the Watson Bay and Manly beach. Probably the best way to travel to these places.

Had a nice experience exploring Sydney with Captain Cook Cuises. Journey started from Darling Harbour - Circular Quay - Toranga Zoo - Shark Island - Watsons Bay - Manly Beach.

Affordable way to explore Manly Beach, Watson Bay, Taronga Zoo via Circular quay or Darling Harbour. Just make sure you know the schedule of the ferry to manage your time.

Wharf6 has another hop on hop off operator called Fantasea, so don’t go to that kiosk. although time table was given and tally with its website, the ferry didn’t come on time but tended to come behind schedule. there is no public announcement nor sign board showing which ferry itinerary is followed except for asking for the staff upon ferry arrival. The queue for boarding the ferry is not managed, so there were huge crowds - some boarding Fantasea ferry - in the jetty. The harbour view was great. If taking zoo combo, it’s better to take 2 day pass to cover all zookeepers’ talks, cruising and visiting all the sites. Wombat curled up in dark burrow, but do catch Capybara talk where they show up in full glory, cute and with nonchalant Garfield-ish eyes. Kangaroo and emu are free to roam around our walk path, so can see kangaroo bouncing up close. Saw Koala hugging tree trunk from a distance, so don’t expect close look or intimate hug.

The harbor trip is good to see more of Sydney but the time of pick up seems to be confusing. The staff does not exactly know the timings so you need to be very mindful of your stay at each destination so you dont get left behind by the ferry. Overall it was still a good experience although out of the 5 destinations, I was only able to visit 2. Thanks.

very convenient. you can go tastings zoo first then catch to ferry to manly beach to enjoy the afternoon sun

I have used Klook to buy tickets for attractions in other countries before and found it very convenient and affordable. So when I went to Sydney this time, I did not hesitate to buy related tickets on Klook. I didn’t research the hop-on hop-off one-day ticket for this cruise, so I went to the wrong place on the actual day and couldn’t find it. I hope Klook can add explanations in the future: (1) This activity is aboard Captain Cook (Captain Cook) company cruises, not all cruises are applicable (2) Currently there are no cruises from Darling Harbor, they all depart from Circular Quay

A very nice experience, the zoo has offered many good and inreresting shows. The closed up encountered with Koala bears and Kangaroos. The manly wharf is near to Manly beach, offering nice blue sea and beautiful beach.

We hopped on to the ferry at 9:30 from Circular Quay hopped off at Manly and did the scenic walk. It was a perfect day around 20 degrees in the afternoon and we managed to get some beautiful shots in too. The sunset was breathtaking as was Manly and Watson’s Bay. Our host was very cheerful and helped us with choosing our interim destinations. Highly recommend this! I have enclosed some pictures from yesterday.
