What To Expect

Enjoy unique aspects of Sydney life as we explore by car and on foot, with plenty of time for photographs.

Meet at Rose Bay Wharf (optional pickup and dropoff at your city hotel).

We take secret streets leading to hidden beaches and pristine harbourside parks with stunning views and jaw-dropping photo opportunities.

After some local snacks, picnic-style, we take walks in National Parks full of native flora, with the chance to spot Australia’s unique colourful birdlife gorging on local grub. 

Bring your swimmers (aka bathing suits) for an impromptu dip in the warm clear waters to cool off. The views are incredible from all angles and there is not a bad seat in the house.

You will also learn of the ancient Aboriginal culture of the area and their ingenious use of local flora.

This experience shows you the unspoiled quiet beauty that is so often missed by many visitors. We let you in on our best kept Sydney secrets, so come along for the surprises.

On some pages, you can select how to sort the results we display and also use filter options to see only those search results that meet your chosen preferences. You'll see explanations of what those sort options mean when you select them.

If you see a Badge of Excellence label, the award is based on average review ratings, share of bookings with a review, and number of bookings through City Boat Tours over a 12-month period.

The importance of any one factor over any other in a sort order varies, and the balance is constantly being reviewed and adjusted. We're always updating our systems and testing new ways to refine and improve your results to make them as relevant as possible to meet your needs.
