Sydney Harbour Cruise and Opera House Tour

PerryGolf Staff

I loved Sydney from the minute I stepped of the plane…everything about the city I adored! I wanted to do as much as possible during my time there and of course, a visit to Sydney Opera House was essential. I can’t explain how wonderful and amazing the building is; the tour includes an extensive journey of inside and outside the Opera House. Part of the tour involves watching a detailed video section with your guide and your group at the end of the circuit. This for me was the best part; to hear the story of the original architect Jørn Utzon and the history behind how this unique building came to be.

I combined the Sydney Opera House tour with the Sydney Harbour Cruise with Captain Cook Cruises, taking in the Sydney Harbour Bridge, Taronga Zoo, Fort Denison, Watsons Bay, Shark Island, Luna Park, and The Rocks & Darling Harbour. You are able to get off at any of the stops and join the cruise again at a later time.

It takes around 1 hour and 30 minutes without any stops, and was a great way to take everything in. The area round Sydney Harbour has a great buzz and atmosphere, with several fantastic places to stop off for a coffee or a light lunch – a wonderful way to relax and watch the world go by.
