1. Sydney Harbour Fine Dining Dinner Cruise
Make Mother’s Day in Sydney extra special with a fabulous cruise and dine experience at the famous harbour. Explore the Sydney Opera House, Harbour Bridge, and Sydney Harbour’s stunning beaches at night while you and your mum enjoy a delicious 3-course dinner of Australia’s finest cuisines on board!
2. G.H. Mumm High Tea Cruise
If Mum’s a seafood lover, opt for the G.H. Mumm High Tea Cruise instead. Indulge in a mouthwatering selection of fresh Australian prawns, Sydney Rock oysters, smoked salmon, and an endless supply of bubbles. The Sydney Harbour G.H. Mumm High Tea Cruise also comes with live music, 360-degree waterfront views, and a beautiful sunset to share a magical moment with Mum!
3. Breakfast while whale watching at the Harbour
The early bird gets to meet Australia’s largest sea mammals. Besides dinner cruises, another spectacular way to spend Mother’s Day in Sydney is to go whale watching. Perfect for animal lovers, the Sydney Whale Watching Cruise takes you along the coasts of Eastern Pontoon to see the gentle giants dancing and jumping around as you and the entire fam have a brekkie buffet with your choice of tea or coffee.
4. Take dinner sky high at Bar 83
The price may be “exy,” but Bar 83 sets the, well, bar high. Time to trade in the harbour for the skies by spending Mother’s Day in Sydney the bougie way at the city’s highest sky bar: Bar 83 by Sydney Tower. Get your fill of bold boozy drinks, divine oysters, and striking sunset views of the Emerald City from 83 floors above. Dress up, chow down—Mum’s in for an absolute treat!
5. Luxury picnic by Kirribilli
Here’s a Mother’s Day idea: surprise her with a private luxury picnic. Gather the entire fam or the gang for an afternoon of grazing, dining, and picnicking in style at the affluent neighbourhood of Kirribilli. No-fuss, no preparations needed; instead, have your picnic personally set up and designed according to your tastes with Klook’s luxury picnic experience pack.
6. Grand Italian picnic inside the Royal Botanic Gardens
Can’t get enough of picnics? This time, head to the Royal Botanic Gardens for some savoury Italian dishes and plenty of nature. Grab your Mum and enjoy a scenic stroll of the garden’s most fragrant plants. Afterward, treat yourselves to a tasteful lunch of sopressa, mortadella, house-made focaccia, artisan cheese, and dark chocolate brownies—yum!
7. Mother’s Day brunch in Sydney at the Potting Shed
Nothing says “thank you, Mum, for everything” than a laidback brunch at the most whimsical restaurant in town. The Potting Shed by the Grounds of Alexandria offers richly-brewed coffee, creamy pastries, cool cocktails, and gourmet delights that will score you some serious brownie points! To top it off, this charming dine’s also a lush oasis filled with greens and floras.
8. Hunter Valley wine hop
For mums who love their Shiraz and Pinot Noir, Hunter Valley is NSW’s ultimate wine destination. With over 150 wineries and cellar doors in the region, you’ll never run out of wine! Discover the 30 best wineries to visit in Hunter Valley and sample award-winning blends.

11. “Champainting” at Darlinghurst
Ever heard of a paint-and-sip experience? This studio in Darlinghurst specializes in ”champainting”—the art of painting and drinking. For two hours and under the guidance of the art pros, you and your mum will each create your masterpiece while sipping your favourite wine or champagne!
12. Mother’s Day fun run
Mother’s Day in Sydney isn’t just about fine dining and luxury retreats, but it’s also a time to stand up and support causes. By taking part in the Mother’s Day Classic run happening on May 8, you and your mum will help raise funds for breast cancer research and bring awareness.
More Sydney adventures await!
