Departing from Darling Harbour, you'll enjoy unobstructed views of iconic landmarks like the Sydney Opera House and Harbour Bridge. There are many whales, so there's a high chance of seeing them. You might even be lucky enough to see a whale breach. However, the waves can be rough and the boat quite bumpy, making it unsuitable for those prone to seasickness. About half the people on board were too sick to stand up, missing the entire whale-watching opportunity, though sick bags were provided on the boat.

Food was average but the crew made up for it. The explanation provided by the commentator was great and kudos to the crew that we saw dolphins and many sightings of humpback whales. Thanks! ☺️

Joined this tour in January 2026. On the day of the tour, we were merged into a group of 20 people, rather than a small group of 1–6 as advertised, and a Mitsubishi Fuso Rosa 22-seat bus was used instead of a premium vehicle. Lunch was provided in the form of a Scenic World meal voucher with free choice; the burgers and fries were very good.

OMG! absolutely worth every dollar! We booked this experience to celebrate my father's birthday and it ended up being one of the best days we've had in Sydney. Getting up close to a koala was incredible 🐨. I got my photo with one, learned so much about them throughout the day, and then got to meet and hand-feed kangaroos too 🦘. There were so many amazing Australian animals to see, including a Tasmanian Devil, Cassowary, Komodo Dragon, Dingoes, Wallabies, Flying Foxes, Turtles, Frogs and even a massive 500kg Saltwater Crocodile 🐊. We also met the cutest sleepy wombat named Scarlett! One of the things I loved most was learning about Aussie Ark and the important conservation work they're doing to help save endangered Australian species. The food and wine were unbelievable. The boomerang lesson was also so much fun 🪃 My dad had an amazing birthday and we're still talking about it. Highly recommend this experience to anyone visiting Sydney. Thanks Sean for such a memorable day!

Although the pickup time was early, the shuttle was easy to find, and the driver was very friendly and enthusiastic even in the early morning. After everyone had gathered, the driver informed us of the estimated return time based on the number of participants. There was a rest stop halfway through the journey where we could use the restroom. Upon arrival, staff called out names, weighed us, and confirmed if we wanted to purchase the photo and video package. Afterward, we waited in an open area for our instructor to meet us. The instructor helped us put on our gear and taught us what actions to perform. Then, our instructor recorded the entire experience for us. The weather was excellent that day, and the scenery was clearly visible. The freefall part was thrilling, and after the parachute opened, we enjoyed the local scenery from the air. Midway through, the instructor let me try controlling the parachute myself, and then we landed safely. After all participants had completed their turns, we headed back. I purchased the video and photo package, and they quickly edited the video. Overall, the experience was great and very enjoyable. I'm so glad I participated in this activity!

Sydney Harbour Bridge

Walk, cycle, or climb the Harbour Bridge for unbeatable city views. The BridgeClimb Sydney experience is one of the most popular adventures for visitors.

You’ll need an Opal card to ride public transport, including ferries and trains. It’s easy to get at stations or convenience stores, and you can top it up as needed.

Long-distance buses arrive at Central Station from major cities like Melbourne and Newcastle. It’s often the cheapest option for domestic travel.

By Car:

You can also drive to Sydney via major highways like the Hume Highway or Pacific Highway. Once you arrive, consider using public transport, as parking in the city centre is limited.
