See Sydney’s iconic landmarks and interesting places - up so close you can almost touch them!
Unlike other harbour tours on ferries and cruise boats, our heritage motor launches can take you in close to the shoreline giving you amazing views of some 20 or so Sydney icons, some well-known, some surprises and some controversial. And all this seen from Sydney’s wonderful harbour - itself often referred to as Sydney’s No.1 icon.
Highlights:
See Jacarandas in bloom where there they are most concentrated, along the shores of the Lane Cove River.
For a short time every spring, our heritage motor launches voyages across Sydney Harbour to cruise the lower Lane Cove River so that you can view the purple tide of Jacaranda trees blooming in the gardens of Hunters Hill and the North Shore. These gardens seen from the water give you an uninterrupted view of the shoreline as it was envisaged by some of the founding fathers of Hunters Hill, the Jouberts, who handed out trees in the 1860’s for the early inhabitants to plant in their gardens to enhance the new suburb.
Highlights:
Explore Sydney’s northern foreshores where our guides will surprise you with forgotten stories of it
This cruise focusses on the northern harbour between Bradleys Head and Balls Head, heading deeper into the bays and coves than commercial vessels can manage. Passengers will see the sites and hear the stories of the once extensive boat building and engineering that dominated the northern harbour; former sites of heavy industry that are now public parks and reserves; Aboriginal settlement; colonial defence installations; places of recreation and leisure (old and new), and places that have seen major Australian artistic achievement.
Highlights:
Cruise with us up close to the seven islands west of the harbour bridge!
We board our heritage motor launches which takes you around Goat and close to Berry islands before a short stop at Cockatoo Island to see the historic docks. West of Cockatoo Island the cruise includes Rodd, Snapper, and Spectacle islands. Our guides will tell you about the various purposes Sydneysiders and some interesting visitors have used these islands for!
Highlights:
Cruise the Parramatta River to uncover some of its history, and witness its changing uses along the way.
The Parramatta River is intrinsically linked to the life and culture of Aboriginal people and was the highway to nationhood for the early European settlers. We cruise towards Newington, highlighting landmarks along the way, and telling you the stories behind them.
Highlights:
* We stop for lunch (not included). We recommend BYO food and drink which you can have on board.
* The cruise finishes back at Pyrmont after 2.00 pm depending on river traffic.
Explore the inner bays, islands and coves west of the bridge along the southern shore.
Sydney Harbour ceased being our major working port when that role was transferred to Botany Bay. Some of this transformation is complete while much is still underway. See the remaining vestiges of the working waterfront alongside modern new construction as we take you deep into the bays and coves, west of the Sydney Harbour Bridge. One of the bays we explore in detail is Rozelle, where we see the SHF workshops, and many historic vessels including those being restored, before moving on through Blackwattle Bay on our return route.
Highlights:
Experience the magic of cruising under steam aboard the 1902 vessels, Lady Hopetoun or Waratah . This unique Harbour cruise is designed to encourage understanding and appreciation of the history of Sydney Harbour.
Your cruise passes important and interesting sites around the harbour including Goat Island, Garden Island, Mort's Dock, Woolwich Dock, Spectacle, Snapper and Cockatoo Islands.
An experienced Tour Guide will tell you about their historical significance to Sydney Harbour and the people of Sydney. Guests are invited to bring their own food and beverage for lunch.
