Sydney is Australia’s oldest and biggest city, set on one of the world’s most stunning harbours. Its laid-back outdoor lifestyle and physical allure, wide-ranging cultural life, dynamic food scene, outstanding contemporary and colonial architecture, beaches and national parks deliver unforgettable experiences.

During your holiday in Sydney there are scores of easy to plan independent activities. Start with a walk around Circular Quay, past the Opera House and into the Royal Botanic Gardens round to Mrs Macquarie’s chair for iconic photos back to Sydney Harbour Bridge. Catch the Manly Ferry, especially stunning at sunset, or go in the morning and follow the Manly to Spit walkway which hugs the edge of the water and offers spectacular views back to the city.

When it comes to dining you’ll be spoilt for choice, with the waterside in the historic Rocks neighbourhood, by the beach at Balmoral or on the wharf at Woolloomooloo Wharf among the most memorable restaurant locations.

Climb to the very top of Sydney Harbour Bridge’s huge, over-arching span, by day or night with BridgeClimb, spend an afternoon sailing around the harbour on a luxury yacht, complete with skipper, gourmet lunch and Australian wines and beers. Alternatively cruise like a local by motor-yacht around Sydney’s secluded coves where you can drop anchor and try swimming, fishing or kayaking. For something really special take a seaplane flight up past the Northern Beaches and land in the remote Ku-Ring-Gai National Park and enjoy lunch at Cottage Point Inn Restaurant, renowned for modern Australian cuisine and tranquil surroundings. We can book any performance at the Sydney Opera House for you, click here for the latest performance listings.

On one of your days it’s well worth heading out of the city to visit the Blue Mountains which are just a 90 minute drive away. We use a company who will take you off the beaten track, visiting ancient Aboriginal sites and seeing indigenous wildlife. We can also offer wine tasting tours into the Hunter Valley which is just a 2 hour drive from Sydney.
