Icons up Close

AUD 39,00 AU$
  • Varighed: 2 Timer
  • Sted: Darling Harbour, NSW

Event Details: 

Unlike other harbour tours on ferries and cruise boats, our motor launches can take you in close to the shoreline to get amazing views of some 20 or so Sydney icons, some well-known, some surprises and some controversial—and we can tell you about one icon forgotten by most people. Barangaroo, the Opera House, historic mansions and Garden Island naval base are just a few icons you will see up close. And for those who loved our Seven Islands tour west of the Harbour Bridge, this tour takes you past four of the five islands east of the bridge.


Highlights:

  • See views only visible from the water and hear stories even locals don’t know. 
  • The cruise includes a forgotten icon, a controversial icon, a UNESCO listed icon, the first 21st century icon and five islands, two of which are no longer islands – including an island that is no longer a garden and a garden that is the oldest scientific institution in Australia.
  • AND… all the time you cruise on Sydney’s No.1 icon!

The tour finishes back at the Australian National Maritime Museum by 12:30pm.
