About this tour

What to expect
You'll board a compact motor yacht and spend four hours exploring Sydney Harbour's quieter reaches. The boat carries enough passengers to feel social but not crowded. Expect to drift past recognisable landmarks from unusual angles, then settle into a secluded spot for lunch. The galley handles vegetarian meals if you've flagged it at booking. Toilets are on board. The boat operates regardless of weather, so pack a windbreaker and wear shoes with good grip. Public transport gets you to the departure point without needing hotel pickup.
Good to know
Wear soft-soled, non-marking shoes—boat shoes or trainers work best. The tour runs in all conditions; dress for wind and spray. Minimum passenger numbers apply, and cancellations can occur if the boat doesn't fill; you'll receive an alternative date or full refund. Vegetarian options are available with advance notice.
