One of the must-try activities. Surfing at Bondi Beach is a once-in-a-lifetime experience!

We rode the larger Jackson yacht that day instead of the one pictured. It was very stable, but the activity area was limited to the back deck of that level. The middle section is a restaurant; it's worth getting a cocktail or glass of wine and enjoying the harbor views! It would be perfect if the top deck could be opened (also a restaurant). Because the front of the original floor is a private room, you can only see the real-time view from the front of the yacht through a projection screen and can't go to the front of the boat to enjoy the sea breeze.

A very worthwhile experience!! I was very lucky that the weather was great that day and it wasn't too cold. I saw a beautiful sunrise and the Sydney Harbour Bridge and Sydney Opera House from a different perspective, enjoying the tranquility of the sunrise. The instructors were also very friendly. If you are not very good at it or too slow, the instructors will be there to assist and guide you.

The Sydney Premium Harbour Sightseeing Cruise was a relaxing and scenic experience. The views of the Opera House, Harbour Bridge, and skyline were incredible, with plenty of time for photos. The boat felt spacious and comfortable, and the staff provided helpful commentary without being overbearing.
A great way to enjoy Sydney from the water — definitely worth it!

Skydiving in Wollongong was absolutely unforgettable, especially celebrating with it after running a marathon! From the moment I arrived, the staff made me feel safe and excited. The instructors were professional and friendly, and their high energy really helped calm my nerves before the jump.

Despite the relatively high price, this is a novel and well worth it experience. The staff go the extra mile to make it fun, engaging and memorable. The facility is clean and there is a cafe and gift shop for pre/post climb activity. A considerable amount of time was spent on the safety prep, but even then it was done in an interesting and fun way.
We were given standard overalls to wear over our clothes, so avoid wearing loose clothing (i.e. dress, skirts, big sweaters). Phones and accessories are not allowed (i guess to avoid dropping them up there), if you wear glasses they will give you a special strap for it. Lockers are also provided and there are water stations along the route in case you get thirsty.
Overall a great experience and must do in Sydney!

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.
