6 Factors to check before booking a Sydney Harbour cruise

Have you considered that when hiring a boat in sydney for a party cruise, wedding cruise, corporate entertainment or team building function, you have to check that the boat hire company is solid. why  .

1. Service: Do not choose any boat for hire without knowing that the service will be of a standard that you would be proud of when entertaining your guests. Sydney Harbour Escapes monitors boat services to ensure that your charter cruise is one that you will be proud of. Will the boat charter agent look after you after the booking is made? We think that having a trusting relationship is important in business and we will be on hand to see you are looked after before, during and after the event to make sure that the service was exceptional.  

2. Financial Check: Check that boat charter company is robust financially. Especially if you are booking a boat for hire in Sydney in advance, you are trusting that your substantial deposit will be honoured by the time you are ready to complete your final payment for the charter. Sydney Harbour Escapes ranks highly in the industry standard of company financial checks - Dunn and Bradsheet.  

3. Survey: Check that the boat is in 'survey'. This means that the boat for hire has been certified by the government NSW Maritime Authority, having passed a huge range of safety and performance checks. A boat in survey has a stronger hull and taller stanchions ( the fence around the boat) for example. To be in survey, a boat needs to be built for hire from scratch to pass these tests. Boats not in survey will not pass the safety standards to make you know that the boat is safe. Most importantly, A surveyed boat in hire will also provide up to date and checked lifejackets and other safety equipment.  

4. Hidden Fees: At Sydney Harbour Escapes, our quotes will contain all fees that you will need for your charter. This is so that you do not get hidden surprises after booking. Some boat charter agents will quote a cheap rate then sting you later for fees that you did not expect. To compare apples with apples, make sure that you know how much it will be for extras such as wharf pick up fees, BYPO charges, ice, staffing surcharges etc for your boat hire Sydney.  

5. The Extra Mile: Will the boat charter agent look after you after the booking is made? We think that having a trusting relationship is important in business and we will be on hand to see you are looked after before, during and after the event to make sure that the service was exceptional.  

6. Is the charter boat really in the fleet? Beware of agents that put up boats in their charter fleet without asking the boat owner and even checking if the boat is in charter in Sydney. We know of many instances of where the owners do not know the agent and their content has been put online without checking current prices and menus. We know of boats that are offered for charter that have sunk! Sydney Harbour Escapes has a solid relationship with all our boat owners and we check prices and updates and take images regularly so that we can make sure that you have the a valid choice and honest quotes to make an informed decision regarding the best boat to hire.

Uncover 5 fun ways to explore Sydney Harbour

The best way to explore Sydney Harbour is to get out on it! Whether you choose a ferry, a cruise ship, a tall ship or a kayak, there is no better way to experience Sydney than to be on the water. Today I am going to share my favourite ways to have fun on the harbour, from kayaking tours that take you into little hidden coves to sailing on a tall ship like the First Fleet when they settled in Sydney. Some come on… let’s go make some memories!

Sydney Harbour is often described as one of the most breathtaking natural harbours in the world. As the vibrant heart of Australia’s largest city, it is home to iconic landmarks, picturesque islands , and pristine beaches , giving you dozens of ways to explore and enjoy its beauty.

Today we are going to look at it from the water. Whether for you that means sailing on a luxury yacht or riding on a local ferry, there is really no bad way to enjoy this remarkable natural wonder.

Explore Sydney Harbour on a Ferry

Spending a few hours out on the water in Sydney is at the top of the to-do list for visitors. Most commonly, people think they need to take one of the standard harbour cruises highlighted in their guidebooks without really knowing what else is available. Sure, these cruises are ok. Some of them are great , but there are quite a few other ways to explore Sydney Harbour, so let’s go check them out.

The perfect day out for budget travellers to Sydney .

By far the cheapest and easiest way to get out on the harbour. You can pay using your credit card, digital wallet or buy an Opal card . If you plan your time carefully, your ferry rides could be half price or even free once you reach your daily travel cap.

You may also like to check out my views on which is a better choice: a  Sydney Harbour cruise or a public ferry .

On Friday, Saturday and Sundays, unlimited travel on all public transport is just $8.90. To help you make the most of this option, we have written a detailed guide to our favourite Sydney ferry rides.

I think the best ferry routes for visitors are:

• Manly Ferry – The iconic harbour ride, a 30-minute trip past the heads to beautiful Manly – also the beginning of the Manly to Spit Bridge walk.
• The Watsons Bay Ferry – From Circular Quay to Watson’s Bay, this harbour trip travels past the homes of the rich and famous to Watson’s Bay. Have lunch at the famous Doyles Seafood restaurant (or wharf take away) and take a walk out to South Head and see the Hornby Lighthouse. If you are lucky, you might get to watch a seaplane take off from Rose Bay en route.
• Parramatta Rivercat – a 55 minute ride that heads under the Harbour Bridge and up the Parramatta River to Parramatta , site of Sydney’s second settlement and worth a visit on an extended trip to Sydney.
• Taronga Zoo – if you are short of time in Sydney this covers two bases, the zoo and some time on the harbour. It’s also the starting point for the walk to Balmoral beach , one of the most rewarding harbour walks in the city.

The best choice for adrenalin junkies .

If Speed is your favourite movie, and thrills and spills are more your thing than a slow ferry ride, then a jet boat tour of the harbour might be just right for you. A jet boat experience covers the major harbour attractions but at a mighty pace, so this is more about the journey rather than a sightseeing trip.

That said, these are great fun and a good idea if travelling with teens. Be warned you will get wet.

• If you want to get wet, sit at the back of the boat
• If you want to be scared, sit at the front!
• Rides are between 30-60 minutes long

I can’t recommend one of these over the other as I have not been on them all, but I had a really fun time on Thunder Jet and I chose them the first time because of their raincoats, I mean who doesn’t love a purple raincoat!

Possibly the most romantic way to see the harbour .

A tall ship cruise allows you to get a feel for the experience that the first fleet may have had. These boats are a similar size to those that arrived in Sydney Harbour back in 1788.

It’s incredible to think people spent months on a boat this size in open seas. I am sure I would not have made it! This is a real eye-opener and one of my favourite way to spend a few hours on the harbour.

There are two excellent tall ship operators in Sydney Harbour:

James Craig – Operated by the Sydney Heritage Fleet , if you want to spend a whole day at sea, this is probably the boat for you. Built in 1874, this beautiful old ship takes 200 passengers on the harbour or 90 passengers if they go out to sea. You can book full days sail a couple of weekends each month (but you need to book in advance). Tickets start at $160.

Sydney Harbour Tallships operates the Southern Swan and the Soren Larsen. They offer a variety of cruises with most running for 2 hours, which is probably long enough for the average “sailor”.

If you are on a budget, their afternoon discovery cruise starts at $69. However, my pick of their options is the Wine & Canapes Evening Cruise with finger food, unlimited quality wines, bubbly, juices and soft drinks and a Sydney sunset!

I did the sunset cruise with Sydney Harbour Tall ships on the Southern Swan, that included drinks and finger food and some fun sing-along time. I thoroughly enjoyed it, and it was a lovely way to spend 2 hours enjoying the harbour. I highly recommend it.

If you fancy a unique stay in Sydney, you can spend a night sleeping on the harbour in a tall ship!

The best way to see the harbour for active travellers .

If you are an outdoor type, you might like to try kayaking on the harbour. Some operators offer trips suited to those who have little or no experience, but you need a reasonable level of fitness. You can also just hire a kayak and take off on your own if you know what you are doing with a paddle.

Guided Kayak Tours of Sydney Harbour

For beginners, I would recommend Oz Paddles, Sydney Harbour Kayak Tours . Tours leave from the Andrew Boy Charlton Pool near the Botanic Gardens. After some instruction, you paddle around the front of the gardens and past the Opera House for a perfect photo op. The pool has great facilities for changing when you get back.

For more experienced or those with decent fitness, there are also tours that will take you under the bridge. Sydney by Kayak has a great sunset tour that is hard to beat for beautiful harbour experiences.

Check out this  Eco Treasures tour that leaves from Pittwater on the Northern Beaches for a more relaxing experience.

If you are more experienced, you might like to hire a kayak and head off alone. The best places for hiring them are Balmoral , Rose Bay or Manly, depending on which part of the harbour you would like to explore. You can also take a self-guided Kayak tour of Middle Harbour in a double Kayak .

Operating just like HOHO bus services , these boats are a good choice if you want to visit several sites in one day. They can be a little more expensive than the public ferries, but some of them stop at a couple of places that the ferries don’t visit, including Shark Island.

• Captain Cook – 24 or 48 hour hop on hop off pass – 6 stops around the harbour and an app that gives commentary as you ride.

With any of these hop on hop off services, I recommend you study the timetable and plan your stops according to the schedule. If not, you could find yourself stuck somewhere for much longer than you would like.

If you like Hop on Hop off services, take a look at our guide to the best way to use your Sydney Hop on Hop off bus .

The harbour covers 55 square km and has 240km of shoreline, giving you plenty to see. You could plan an entire week just exploring its nooks and crannies. Here are some of the most common questions that have come up in our Facebook group .

Can you swim in Sydney Harbour?

Yes, you can swim in Sydney Harbour. There are several Sydney Harbour Beaches . Shark Beach at Nielsen Park is the most popular, Balmoral Beach in Middle Harbour is also a great choice.

There are also designated swimming spots like the new Marrinawi Cove baths at Barangaroo, and Greenwich Baths in the harbour’s west. 

What are some less-known spots to explore around Sydney Harbour?

If you want to get off the main trail, try to include some less visited spots around Sydney Harbour on your visit.

These include:

• Cockatoo Island (public ferry) – Indigenous and colonial history
• Goat Island (tours) – Indigenous tours
• Clark Island (HOHO ferry) – great for a harbour picnic
• Q Station and North Head (bus or private ferry)

Each of these islands offers a unique view of the city and is great for picnics and walks. You can even camp on Cockatoo Island!

Are there any affordable boat tours of Sydney Harbour?

If you are travelling on a budget, you can ride the ferries on the Friday- Sunday $8.90 all-day ticket. String a few of these together and you can explore much of the harbour.

There are also some affordable boat tours of Sydney Harbour available, including the Captain Cook HOHO ferry for under $40

How can I get the best views of Sydney Harbour?

There are several ways to enjoy the harbours views. Book one of the best harbour view hotels, climb the bridge’s arch or walk across the Harbour Bridge , taking a helicopter tour, or visiting one of the lookout points like Mrs Macquarie’s Chair or the North Head Lookout.

What are the recommended restaurants with waterfront views in Sydney Harbour?

There are dozens of restaurants lining east and west Circular Quay. From the high end experiences at Quay, Bennelong and Aria to more affordable options like James Squire at the International Cruise Terminal building and even the cafe on the rooftop of the MCA.

There are plenty of restaurants with fabulous views, so we have a whole article on dining with a harbour view . You could also consider a dinner cruise on Sydney Harbour.

What is the best time of day to explore Sydney Harbour?

It’s hard to beat a Sydney Harbour sunrise when daylight breaks behind the Opera House. This is a lovely time to photograph the harbour . 

An equally great time is as the sun sets to the west of the Sydney Harbour Bridge. Head to Opera Bar or book a sunset champagne sail and soak up the view. 

What is the history behind the Sydney Harbour Bridge?

The Sydney Harbour Bridge was the first bridge to connect the northern shore of the harbour to the city. Construction began in July 1923 and it took almost a decade to complete, finally opening in 1932.

The design of Sydney Harbour Bridge was based upon New York City’s  Hell Gate Bridge .

Learn more about the Harbour Bridge at the Pylon Museum and then take a walk across the bridge to appreciate its size and beauty.

What are some of the must see harbour events?

Top of the list is NYE of course, but following closely behind is the Vivid Sydney Festival held in May and June each year. Australia Day is another top day on the water with the ferrython, a tall ship race and fireworks to close out the day.

5 thoughts on “Uncover 5 fun ways to explore Sydney Harbour”

We have just spent a day on the Hop On Hop Off Explorer and it was tremendous fun. I like the idea of kayaking but not sure I would enjoy dodging the ferries.

I just read your review Lyn and it looks great. The photos really show all the attractions you can see along the way. I have linked to it in the post above so anyone considering the cruise can check it out. Paula

Spending some time on the water in Sydney Harbour is certainly one of the best activities in the world.

I am very lucky to get to see it every day 🙂

I remember the Sydney Harbour ferries being a glorious way to explore and view the area.

Our charter yachts are offered for a minimum of four hours during high season, so you could be paying anywhere from $1,400-$14,000. During off-season, you can hire a boat with us for three hours, and we also offer great deals for you to choose from.

When you add special features, such as catering, the cost will rise. We suggest starting with a budget of $8,000 for a large boat party. With extensive experience booking thousands of charters for small events, weddings, corporate engagements and special functions, we're able to help you determine the best budget for your party.

Book the Best Kid-Friendly Sydney Harbour Cruises

Sydney Harbour is one of the wonders of the world, and Sydney Harbour Cruises are or am I just biased?  No I am not!  It is a gorgeous and glorious natural splendour and it is best seen on a Sydney Harbour cruise. 

If you are travelling with children, how do you choose the best Sydney Harbour boat tour, the one that will suit your specific family? You definitely need to find the most kid-friendly cruises. Read on and let me give you some thoughts, gleaned from 20 years of exploring Sydney Harbour with my four children.

Table of Contents

Sydney Harbour Fast Facts

Now you already know that Sydney has one of the most beautiful natural harbours in the world.

From North and South Heads in the east to the head of Parramatta River, Sydney Harbour is 19km long and has an area of  55 km². The shoreline of Sydney Harbour has many bays, beaches and inlets, stretching a staggering 317 kilometres. 

Harbour Cruises Sydney: What To Look For

A day out on the water is a joy, if you ask me. Except when it isn’t.

We have had a few low moments when taking our kids out on Sydney Harbour cruises. A Middle Harbour cruise with a completely hyperactive two-and-a-half-year-old with an urge to climb and no fear of heights was just a touch stressful. That was a Sydney harbour boat tour never to be repeated, we should have just waited until that son was older and calmer.

We’ve had some fab times too though. Here are some things to look out for:

• What age are your children, will they stay still as you cruise?
• Where does the cruise leave from, is it easy for you to get to (most leave from Darling Harbour or Circular Quay.)
• Do you need to eat on the cruise? There are family dinner cruise options and even more lunch cruise options. Most cruises do serve food of some sort however I always pack extra snacks too
• Do you know Sydney well? If not, a cruise with commentary will give you lots of interesting information
• Check the Sydney weather forecast . Book close to the day if you can to make sure you get good weather, or make sure your booking can be cancelled or the date changed.

Sydney Harbour Tall Ships Cruise s

Setting off from Campbell Cove, The Rocks, just a short walk from Circular Quay, a tall ships cruise will take your family right back in time. Sailing ships set off from here over the centuries and the spirit of many salty sea dogs sails with you. I think these tall ships make the best Sydney Harbour Cruise for families – my kids adored them.

The captains tend to be very amusing and there is always a good commentary about both the ships and the Sydney Harbour sights you pass. 

The Twilight Dinner Cruise is one of the bestsellers, check availability here,

But with younger children, an Afternoon Cruise or a Lunch Cruise might be best.  You will often find extra options in the school holidays too.

Compare tall ships cruises to other family-friendly Sydney Harbour cruises on Get Your Guide here.

Jet Boating On Sydney Harbour

Jet boating on Sydney Harbour with kids really is a thrill and it is our second fave Sydney Harbour cruise option. But it is not cheap. Prices range from about $70 to around $90. You will find some special offers and discounts at times too.

Check our prices and availability on Get Your Guide here:

30 minute Thunder Thrill Ride s

45 minute Extreme Adrenalin Rush Ride

Check out this Get Your Guide widget to see some other options and to check out combining various jet boat opens with other activities.

The kids absolutely loved the ride though, and they weren’t totally hysterical with fear either. The jet boats leave from Circular Quay on the Opera House side.

2 Day Hop On Hop Off Harbour Cruise Ferry Ticket

I really recommend this as a great way of exploring Sydney and its Harbour, at a low cost and with a great variety of places to get on and off.  This ticket costs $50 for adults and $29 for children.

You can hop on and off at:

•  Darling Harbour : so much to see and do! •  Watsons Bay : beautiful walks, beaches and great fish and chips •  Luna Park : Enjoy the rides or have a swim at the cool pool •  Circular Quay : Stop to eat or explore the shops, museums and art galleries •  Taronga Zoo : meet Australian fauna and some other exotic animals too •  Shark Island : A wonderful island for a BYO picnic and a swim

Buy tickets for the 2 Day Hop On Hop Off Cruise here.

Small Group Harbour Cruise, With Secret Beaches

This is a 3 hour tour and will take you to places other tours don’t. You also get a chance to get out and explore two beaches. The group is small and you have your own tour guide so can ask lots of questions and will learn a lot about Sydney’s history, the massive houses you will pass and the natural environment and wildlife.

The cost of $129 for adults and $99 for children, so it’s a bit more expensive, but much more personal.  There are short walks at Watson Bay and a visit to North Head’s Quarantine Station which is a truly amazing and unique place to visit. My children have loved their trips to the Quarantine Station.

Check dates and book ticket for this Small Group Harbour Cruise here.

Whale Watching Cruises

These cruises usually take you out beyond Sydney Harbour into the open sea. Whilst seeing breaching whales can never be guaranteed, there is a good chance you will see them in the right season.

Check out this Whale Watching Tour with Breakfast or Lunch availability and prices here.

Find an amazing variety of Sydney Harbour Cruises by searching this Get Your Guide widget below.

Captain Cook 2 Hour Cruise

Jump about one of the best known ships for classic Sydney Harbour cruises, operated by Captain Cook Cruises.  

These trips are good value and you will see a remarkable amount and hear a lot of interesting stories during your cruise.  Included in the cost is morning or afternoon tea. These cruises depart from 

Cheaper Harbour Cruises Sydney 

At just $29 per person, the Captain Cook Cruises 90-Minute Harbour Cruise with Live Music and Tapas is the most economical cruise that I could find to tell readers about. 

Of course, it’s even cheaper to just ride around Sydney Harbour by ferry, it is really good fun to explore by yourself, but there’s no expert commentary of course. But if a Sydney Harbour day cruise like this one still feels too costly (it all adds up when you have a big family) then rides on the ferries do the job well too.

WGS 84 coordinate reference system is the latest revision of the World Geodetic System, which is used in mapping and navigation, including GPS satellite navigation system (the Global Positioning System).

Geographic coordinates (latitude and longitude) define a position on the Earth’s surface. Coordinates are angular units. The canonical form of latitude and longitude representation uses degrees (°), minutes (′), and seconds (″). GPS systems widely use coordinates in degrees and decimal minutes, or in decimal degrees.

Latitude varies from −90° to 90°. The latitude of the Equator is 0°; the latitude of the South Pole is −90°; the latitude of the North Pole is 90°. Positive latitude values correspond to the geographic locations north of the Equator (abbrev. N). Negative latitude values correspond to the geographic locations south of the Equator (abbrev. S).

Longitude is counted from the prime meridian ( IERS Reference Meridian for WGS 84) and varies from −180° to 180°. Positive longitude values correspond to the geographic locations east of the prime meridian (abbrev. E). Negative longitude values correspond to the geographic locations west of the prime meridian (abbrev. W).

UTM or Universal Transverse Mercator coordinate system divides the Earth’s surface into 60 longitudinal zones. The coordinates of a location within each zone are defined as a planar coordinate pair related to the intersection of the equator and the zone’s central meridian, and measured in meters.

Elevation above sea level is a measure of a geographic location’s height. We are using the global digital elevation model GTOPO30 .
