Sydney Harbour Information

An essential Sydney experience.. Incorporating the harbour's islands and much of the Foreshore, Sydney Harbour National Park brims with picnic areas, bays, harbour pools and beaches to relax in. It's where ferries, yachts, cruise vessels, jet boats, catamarans and kayaks all jostle for a piece of the world's best harbour. Laze on a chartered yacht moored in a bay or unwind on a scenic cruise, plenty of which are on offer from Circular Quay or Darling Harbour.

Well worth touring are the historically significant Sydney Harbour Islands - Shark, Clark, Goat or Rodd - where you can enjoy a picnic surrounded by the harbour. For further stunning vistas one of the many walks you can go on includes the Hermitage Foreshore walk from Rose Bay to Vaucluse, or from Cremorne Point to Mosman Bay. If you're in the mood for an adrenalin surge flash past the Opera House and zoom towards the Heads on a jet boat ride of Sydney Harbour.

With is shores bustling with commuters, tourists and buskers Circular Quay, located between Sydney's Opera House and The Rocks, is the hub of Sydney's water traffic and ferry services. From there you can travel on the ferries Sydneysiders use for commuting for a picturesque way to visit many waterside precincts including Balmain, Darling Harbour, Double Bay, Manly, Mosman and Watson's Bay.

Key Experiences

Join a cruise, Charter a yacht and sail at your own pace, or join a crew and compete in Sydney Harbour yacht races held regularly in summer months.

Take a tour of Fort Denison located in the middle of Sydney Harbour - originally a prison, converted into a fort in the 1800's.

Ride the RiverCat to Sydney Olympic Park at Homebush Bay, and Parramatta, bursting with Sydney's colonial history.

Parasail from Manly (summer months), or hire a kayak from Middle Harbour, Manly, or Rose Bay and explore Sydney Harbour from a different angle.

Watch harbour activity from a range of quality harbourside restaurant offering unparalleled views.
