    Nice views of the harbor and Major sites. Would've given it a higher rating had we continued further east over to Watson's Bay, etc..

  • Beyond the tourist trail

    Close your eyes and imagine the Sydney Harbour bathed in the warm glow of afternoon sun. The usual tourist bustle fades away as you step onto a sleek boat for your sightseeing cruise. Settle into a comfortable spot on the deck with a steaming cup of coffee warming your hands as the city skyline unfolds before you. The iconic Opera House gleams in the sunlight, gliding past the Harbour Bridge and sailing past bobbing sailboats.
