Cruises on Sydney Harbour

There are excellent cruises available on what is one the world’s most beautiful harbours. There is a variety of cruises available, leaving and returning to Circular Quay at the foot of the city, or Darling Harbour.

They can be taken from early in the day, in the afternoon or early in the evening. They can include meals, including buffet or gourmet ones and of course, drinks.
