My grandchildren and I had a great time traveling on the Hop On Hop Off cruiser. It was a perfect day, sun shining and the views from the top deck were incredible. We spent time in Manly seeing the markets and having morning tea. Then we went to Watson's Bay for lunch at Doyle's on the beach and walked to The Gap along the promenade where we took photos of the city and the views. We finished at Circular Quay where we spent an hour walking around The Rocks and the markets there before heading home on the train. Worth it!

A fun, relaxing, care free day on the Harbour.

It was great to easily organise and pay online, the staff at the ticket office were extremely friendly and helpful. The schedule was varied and covered our day nicely. The crew on the Boats were fantastic, friendly and entertaining. A fun way to show our friend from Norway our stunning Harbour and surrounds.

Very convenient and entertaining!

The aquarium was a bit of a let down, not as many sharks as I'd hoped to see. But the ferry ride was so convenient and the guide had so many interesting facts about the city to share! We were able to see almost everything we'd hoped to see in the Sydney by riding the ferry from Darling harbor to Manly beach. We rode all the way to Toronga Zoo before getting off at Fort Denison and then heading to Many beach. I wish we'd had time to actually go to the zoo but we only had one day and there was so much to see! When we first got on the ferry at Darling Harbor, the deckhand helped us figure out the schedule and was very friendly and helpful.
