Overview

Play our interactive discovery game and solve puzzles in Sydney's Rocks precinct. The start point is conveniently located a few minutes walk from the cruise ship terminal at Circular Quay.

You will be given cryptic clue riddles to solve and answer on your phone. These guide you from one hidden spot to the next, and reveal the route you will follow as you explore this iconic part of Sydney.

This self-guided experience can be enjoyed by yourself, or with a small group of friends (1-5 players).

We will send you a link to a website to play the game on any mobile device (e.g. iPhone, Android). No app download is required — it is entirely web-based and user-friendly.

This tour was the winner of Transport for NSW's City Innovation Challenge in 2021.

Activity name

City Boat Tours wants to make your searches as relevant as possible. That's why we offer many ways to help you find the right experiences for you.

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.
