Detailed itinerary

Stop 1

Visit all of Sydney's iconic landmarks, stop for amazing photos at all the key spots, see some of the most expensive houses on the planet, and visit Sydney's secret Islands and secret beaches.

Stop 2

Pass under the Sydney Harbour Bridge and see it from underneath. You can stop at McMahons Point for a few minutes to get the perfect photo of yourself with the Opera House in the background, sitting under the Harbour Bridge. All of this in one shot to share with everyone.

Stop 3

Pass by the Sydney Opera House and see it from the water from an angle most people have never had the opportunity to see. You can stop for a few minutes to get some amazing photos to share with everyone.

Stop 4

See Darling Harbour from the water and look out at everyone looking in at you. See the new W hotel, the Sydney skyline, and all of the activity at Cockle Bay and King St Wharf.

Sydney's skyline is magical, and you will see it from all angles as you cruise by. There will be plenty of photo opportunities, and you will have plenty to store in your memory bank as well.

Stop 6

You can see Fort Denison up close and personally as you cruise by. With its rich history, this island, which stands alone right in the middle of Sydney Harbour, is always a great talking point.

Cruise past the waterfront mansions of Point Piper to see where celebrities and billionaires live. This is the playground of the rich and famous.

Stop 8

Cruise past the Naval Base at Garden Island and see the Navy ships docked on Sydney Harbour. The ships are always on the move so you might even get to see one leaving the dock.

Cruise through Athol Bay and pass Taronga Zoo. Try to catch a glimpse of the Giraffes or maybe a bird show. Listen carefully, and you will usually hear the seals, chimpanzees, and, at the right time of day, the lions roar! Athol Bay is one of the most ideal spots to stop and have a swim.
