Sydney Harbour Hop-on Hop-off Cruise

Sydney, Australia

There's no better way to see the sights of Sydney Harbour than on a hop-on hop-off harbour cruise. You can jump on and off at any number of stops, including Darling Harbour, Circular Quay, Taronga Zoo, Watsons Bay and Luna Park. Simply disembark at any destination, stay as long as you like, then board another boat to reach your next sightseeing destination.

Boats depart every 45 minutes from Circular Quay and Darling Harbour, taking in all the famous harbor-side attractions of Sydney Harbour. Selected cruises also stop at Shark Island (National Park entry fees apply).

Why not spend a few hours at Taronga Zoo. Choose the zoo option and enter the zoo in style with a ride on the Sky Safari Gondola and entry ticket to the zoo. With over 2,900 exotic and native animals, free zoo-keeper talks and animal shows, there is something for everyone.

Please refer to "View Additional Info" for the hop-on hop-off cruise route

short and sweet circle around the Harbour. starts at Circular Quay, which is basically where the Opera House and Bridge is. It then heads out past Mrs MacQuarries chair (Botanic Gardens), loops around and heads back to the Quay actual time moving is around 40 mins. Is it with doing - probably, however if your on a tight budget you see nothing that you cant see for free from the land. Even the view of the Harbour Bridge and Opera House together can be obtained from the Botanic Gardens. One point to note - the Viator app and email state there is no need to print anything off and that you can simply show app or email. Wrong - no one excepted these. we had a frustrating day when we had to go back to our hotel, seek out a printer and print off itinery before heading back to the attraction. Be warned!

This is a great trip for first time visitors to Sydney. After an overnight flight from Dubai this blew the cobwebs away and gave us our bearing for Sydney harbour. Fantastic views of the harbour bridge and the opera house (of course) plus other areas of the harbour we didn't know about - Devonport and Watsons bay (Fish and Chips there are a must!) Remember to apply sunscreen even if it is cloudy.

It is nice to jumping into this cruise. Kids really enjoyed the experience. A free cup ot tea served in the cruise would make the trip more enjoyable.

Didn't take full advantage of this one. Although, I would recommend it. An excellent way to see the harbour. The scenery is awesome for taking pictures. Postcard photos!

What a great way to see the city! We thoroughly enjoyed hearing about the city and having the freedom to jump on and off at the various stops. When time is limited and you don't have a car, this is the perfect way to get around!

This boat no longer stops at Harbourside.

Review by: Suzanne	January 2012
Pleasant way to spend a couple of hours and I tokk the Taronga Zoo package also but I found the zoo to be very tired and not worth the time spent there

very nice!

Review by: Katie B	January 2011
This would have been convienent but we got to the dock to late on the day we planned for it since our flight was delayed a few hours so we had to rearranage our week. We only were able to take this to Taraonga Zoo and back so we did not get our moneys worth.

Review by: Walter G	December 2010
Very good, but the weather was not to good and we did not have enough time to get off at any of the stops. We only were able to ride around the entire loop one ntime

Sam was a good guide and gave us lots of information on the tour, as well as taking us into Gorse Canyon off road, my first time here. All in all a good tour.

Review by: Patrick A, United States of America	October 2009
This is a great way to tour the Harbour!

Review by: Lydia C, Canada	October 2009
I wouldn't call it a cruise per say, it's more of a ferry service. But it is a nice way to get around town and a great opportunity for pictures.

Review by: Anonymous, Australia	January 2009
Weather was beautiful...would recommend sitting outside on deck to take in the great views!

Review by: John E, Portugal	January 2009
Excellent trip, none the worse for the fact that it rained all day, but that's not Viator's fault. Informative dialogue from the hostess. Would do it again if and when we return.
