    If you and your other half have successfully survived a lockdown with each other, it's probably time to venture out of the house and try some new experiences together!
    From the laidback and chill, to splashy and fancy - we’ve curated our top picks in Sydney for romantic things to do in in Sydney as well as romantic getaways near Sydney which will definitely score you some brownie points.

    1. Sky high on a Sydney Seaplane Flight

    There’s just something about seeing Sydney from above that is truly spectacular and will definitely impress the socks out of your partner! On this seaplane flight, you’ll take off from the picturesque Rose Bay and get to see Sydney’s magnificent skyline from an eagle’s perspective and even fly over the one and only Sydney Harbour Bridge and then down the coastline to Bondi.
    Upon arrival back at Rose Bay, you can also opt to include a decadent champagne brunch or a delicious summer seafood platter, to be savoured over glistening waters at Empire Lounge. Oyster in one hand, champagne on the other anyone?

    2. Away from it all at a romantic tiny house getaway

(Yes you read right, there’s a free in-room mini bar which is restocked daily).
    Pst, if you book with Klook, we’ll even throw in a guaranteed late check out for you sleepyheads, free parking and also a bottle of sparkling wine to top it all off!

    5. From above on a hot air balloon flight

    Let’s face it - a hot air balloon ride in dreamy Cappadocia may not be feasible for some time...so why not consider one right here in your backyard? Hot air ballooning should seriously be on your list if you’re considering a romantic date in Sydney that will be one to remember!
    You can book a hot air balloon flight in various locations across Sydney, such as the Hunter Valley, Byron Bay, or even Camden Valley (which is just an hour out from Sydney). Upgrade your experience with a delicious gourmet breakfast and champagne to really complete the experience!

    6. Like a knight in shining armor on a horse & carriage wine tour

    If you’re really looking to impress your partner, this one’s for you! Nothing gets more magical and fairy-tale like than a private Cinderella-style horse carriage to see the sights of the Hunter.
    This tour includes spending the day being chauffeured around the best vineyards at four to five different cellar doors, lunch at the exquisite Circa 1876 restaurant as well as tastings of olive, cheese and chocolate. You’ll be feeling like royalty by the end of the day!

    7. With a group of mates while grape stomping

    Want to involve your closest group of family and friends? Why not plan an epic trip to the Hunter and while you’re there, get in on the wine-making action?
    Jump right into big oak barrels of grapes and get your feet dirty! Grape stomping is the age-old tradition of how European winemakers have been doing it for centuries - there is nothing like the feeling of grapes between bare toes. You can even play a game during this activity and the winning group will take home two bottles of wine too!
