Overview

Discover Sydney’s iconic sights and hidden gems on our Harbour Sights Running Tour—a scenic 9km loop starting at 7:00 am in Hyde Park. Designed for casual runners, this relaxed-paced tour includes regular stops for photos, stories, and breathtaking views. We begin in leafy Hyde Park before jogging to Mrs Macquarie’s Chair, a convict-carved sandstone lookout with sweeping harbour views. From there, we pass Farm Cove, the Royal Botanic Garden, and pause beneath the Sydney Opera House to learn its dramatic backstory. We explore The Rocks, rich with colonial tales, before crossing the Sydney Harbour Bridge. On the north side, we wind through charming Kirribilli and visit Wendy’s Secret Garden, a tranquil sanctuary tucked beside the harbour. The tour finishes with coffee at a local café and a scenic ferry ride back to Circular Quay. Perfect for visitors and locals alike, it’s a unique way to see Sydney—before the city even wakes up.
