Your Sydney Harbour experiences are

a yacht, taking a ferry to Manly
or one of the Harbour
islands, indulging in a harbour
cruise, packing a picnic lunch and set off on one of the
many harbour
foreshore walks, to name but a few. Either way, you’ll
never run out of Sydney Harbour experiences nor will you tire of the
views.

Harbour
Jet
Adventure seekers, imagine racing at 75 km/h through Sydney
Harbour, under the Harbour Bridge past the Opera House and the
Australian Navy Fleet before skimming around Fort Denison and the
Prime Minister's Sydney Residence, before we head west to quieter
waters and unleash the full power of the Jet. Now, riders will
encounter Harbour Jet's designed capabilities of fish tails,
180-degree spins & awesome power brake stops. Our experienced
drivers stop frequently so you can catch your breath, take a photo
and hear some unknown and fascinating facts of Sydney, Australia
& its people. A continual mix of Australian music keeps the Jet
Boat Rocking.

Manly
A visit to Manly by ferry provides the quintessential
Sydney experience. A half hour ferry crossing of Sydney Harbour
brings visitors to this cosmopolitan suburb nestled between a
tranquil, inner harbour beach on one side and a popular surf beach
on the Pacific Ocean. Manly is popular for water sports such as
windsurfing, parasailing and scuba diving. The waterfronts are lined
with cafes and restaurants where you can relax and enjoy the sea
breeze or take a stroll; jog or bike ride along the famous
beachfront promenade. Sydney Harbour National Park at Manly
overlooks the entrance to Sydney Harbour and is the perfect place
for a bushwalk. There are a number of popular scenic walking routes
that link the beaches with the national parks. The Manly destination
delivers an annual Calendar of Events, which provides a diversified
programme of entertainment for the enjoyment of all residents and
visitors.
