It was crowded, so I couldn't fully enjoy it, but the beautiful scenery brought tears to my eyes. I was happy and had a great time! For your information, I'm not good at riding amusement park rides, but this one was so easy and fun that I recommend it to everyone!

It was a great experience! I was worried because there weren't many Korean reviews, but the 2-hour short course seems like you'd only see dolphins! You have to wait for the whales to appear after arriving at the point, but there's plenty of time, so I saw a lot of whales! If you want to see humpback whales, be sure to apply for this! I think I saw about 7 humpback whales~ The round trip travel time to the whale point seems to be about 1 hour and a half, but it wasn't difficult at all! I enjoyed sightseeing at Gap Park on the way, and I think I took more photos of the Opera House view than when I took the ferry. It's really awesome! After passing the ferry terminal and heading towards the Opera House, you can exchange your ticket with a card at Princess Cruises on the left and line up. They also give you motion sickness medicine when you exchange your ticket, but I took mine in advance. But I don't think I would have gotten motion sickness even if I hadn't taken it! There's also coffee and water! The bathroom is also clean.

Taking the guided tour of the Sydney Opera House was an unforgettable experience that truly brought this architectural masterpiece to life. While its striking sails are breathtaking from the outside, stepping inside reveals an even deeper level of beauty, history, and innovation. Our guide was knowledgeable, passionate, and full of fascinating stories — from the challenges of its construction to insights into performances that have graced its stages. We explored several of the main performance halls, and walked through areas not usually open to the public. The tour provided a real appreciation for both the artistry and engineering behind the Opera House. Whether you're an architecture enthusiast, a performing arts lover, or just curious about one of the world’s most iconic buildings, this tour is well worth your time.

Highly recommended for families with kids! My daughter especially loved the SEA LIFE Aquarium experience. She’s a big fan of sea animals, and it was such a joy seeing her enjoy and learn at the same time. The pass is a great way to explore multiple attractions and get the best value.

It was a hassle free booking - we booked our tickets just one hour before our visit and got the confirmation immediately! So easy to use (just had to scan the code at the entrance) and we’re in! Great experience

I went on the Featherdale + Blue Mountains tour with guide Kelvin Sung! Since it was a summer starlight tour, the schedule ended late, but after it was over, instead of saying "Ah, I'm tired," the first thing I said was "Wow, that was a great trip." From the moment we set off, I noticed that the guide's voice was really nice, lol. I thought he was a radio DJ... it was easy to concentrate on the explanations because they were so easy on the ears. We started the day at Featherdale Wildlife Park, and it was amazing to see Australian animals in real life. We took pictures with the panoramic view at Lincoln's Rock, and had plenty of time for a break in Leura Village. It was amazing that the schedule went smoothly even though the temperature exceeded 40 degrees Celsius that day. He timed the breaks perfectly, so there was no physical strain. We had dinner in Katoomba Village, and I recharged my k-blood at the Korean restaurant he recommended after a long time. The most impressive thing was definitely the Blue Mountains sunset and the stargazing. Especially when watching the sunset and the stars, the guide took us to a secret spot he had discovered himself, and the scenery was so quiet and peaceful that the emotion was doubled. In the car, he didn't just explain the tourist attractions, but also gave us encouraging words and positive expressions, which made me feel good throughout the tour. Everyone in the tour group said, "He's the best guide I've ever met," and I completely agree. Even in the hot weather, he took care of us meticulously and created a great atmosphere, making it a tour that will remain in my memory for a long time. I really want to recommend it to people around me, and if I come again, I will definitely choose this tour again!!
