About this tour
Sail Sydney Harbour aboard a classic tall ship at dusk, with a two-hour voyage serving dinner as the light fades. You'll glide past the Opera House and Harbour Bridge from the deck of either the Southern Swan or Soren Larsen, feeling something of what early mariners experienced. It's an elegant way to transition from day to night without leaving the city.

What to expect
You'll board one of two heritage tall ships and settle in as the crew prepares to cast off. Dinner arrives as you leave the dock, and you'll eat while the harbour unfolds around you—the light softening, landmarks taking on new contours. The pace is unhurried; there's time to watch the water, spot other vessels, and move between deck and dining areas. By the time you return, dusk has deepened considerably. Note that from April to September, the cruise runs 1.5 hours instead of two.
Good to know
Get yourself to the departure point by public transport or taxi—there's no hotel pickup. Infants must sit on an adult's lap. Mast climbing is optional and costs extra. The menu changes to source fresh ingredients, and the operator reserves the right to alter routes or times for safety reasons.
