Well organised. Choice of lunch menu, bottle of water and pouch for necessary (camera, pusre etc.) personal belongings were good. Great cycling route given...loads of photos taken. Maybe a photo opportunity at Anzac Monument, a drink with lunch and exta water refill would be appreciated. Our guide was very good at instructions regards road safety and lots of information, and helpful, as we toured the route. Guide prepared for all weather...and although offered, rain poncho stayed in his backpack. Some steep parts but guide great with offering help and/or encouragement if needed. An brilliant experience.

We purchased a two day ticket and it worked really well for us. There are two elements to this, one is just getting you around and the second is the ‘thrill’ of going around the harbour at fairly high speed. Can sit inside or outside. There is a published timetable and the boats are punctual. If you are thinking of going to the zoo this can be added into the ticket.

a lovelly way to spend a relaxing day and get to explore the surrounding areas of Sydney with the Ferry. We specifially enjoyed Manly Beach area (Shelly & Manly Beach, incl. Shopping, Drinks at Manly Wharf) and then dinner at Watsons Bay.

The Sydney harbour secret beaches tour is a great way to see a bit of the harbour from the water with a friendly, informative guide. Definitely recommend if you have a few hours and want a different perspective of this beautiful city.

A wonderful way to see all the major attractions in Sydney!
