Sydney Bike Tours

Kevin_H, Apr 2026

Great Way to See Sydney

We very much enjoyed the Manly Beach bike tour. Nice bikes and helmets. Our guide Michael was excellent. Kind and warm, funny entertaining and informative! He was also very good about safety and keeping the group together We had a small group of 6, so we were able to meet new friends and enjoy the ride together Seeing a different part of Sydney plus a ferry ride was a good extra. Michael finished up with some hidden gems in The Rocks Highly recommended

Sydney Opera House Official Guided Walking Tour

Sgribb, Mar 2026

Opera house tour

Our guide was knowledgeable and made the best use of our time. She was aware of the needs of the group and made sure everyone was comfortable. Her story of Utzen was incitful and constuction informative. I feel we had an accurate description of the design, constuction, and materials involved in creating the unique design of the opera house. A wonderful collection of the building of this magnificent structure was presented by our dedicated guide! Highly recommend taking this tour

Sydney Harbour Scenic Helicopter Flight

Class Act

Excellent experience from start to finish. From being collected in the mini bus, very friendly driver to arriving at base, the guys there were very professional, polite and explained everything perfectly. Nice and relaxing lounge before and after the helicopter ride with refreshments on hand. The actual ride was out of this world a truly amazing experience, I felt exhilarated, my first ever ride. The pilot was very knowledgeable and very friendly. Thank you so much for such a memorable 60th birthday experience. It is a class organisation and I would highly recommend.

30-Minute Sydney Harbour Jet Boat Thrill Ride

Shaun_W, Mar 2026

Thrilling!

Experience is as described: 30-45min speedboat ride from Sydney Harbour. Staff very clear with safety advice & driver always gave a signal just before he'd do a spin or dive on the boat so you'd count it in together, and every now & again he'd stop to check everyone was OK. Red ponchos are offered free of charge, but you can choose to get soaked in your clothes, and you will get soaked! I'm glad I chose to do this experience

Surfing Lessons on Sydney's Bondi Beach

Michael_P, Mar 2026

Great First Time Experience

Great experience. Each class is small - 5 people. I had never surfed before and my coach, Jesse, was able to tailor his feedback and adjust on the fly what I needed to do. For those who have never surfed before like me, expect to learn a lot and get in a lot of reps in a short period of time.

Taronga Zoo Entry & Return Ferry - Sydney Harbour

A Sydney Must See

Tarango zoo is very well laid out with lots to see from the Australian bush (koalas, kangaroos, dingoes, etc), African Savannah (lions, zebra, giraffes, etc), rainforest (pygmy hippo, rhino, monkeys,), Asian (tigers, sun bear), seals, penguins, red pandas, chimpanzees, gorillas and more. We spent ~4h and probably saw 1/3 of entire place. We suggest getting there when they first open at 9:30am. It also has the Sydney skyline as a beautiful backdrop. Definitely recommend.

Shelly beach Snorkel B and B

If you enjoy snorkelling this is the trip for you. There is a huge variety of fish to see and if you are lucky the turtle will come and swim with you. Groups are small and our guide Laura was very attentive and ensured we got the best experience ensuring everyone was comfortable with their gear throughout the snorkelling trip. We started with a hike overlooking Shelly beach as seen on the Bold and Beautiful! So thrilled we made it here.

A whale of an experience

Fascinating and fantastic to see whales up close, and Personal. Don’t forget to bring your seasick medicine, in fact, take it before you leave for the tour. Other than that lunch was amazing, not your cheese sandwich, and water type of lunch, really good food. All in all, I can’t say enough good things about the tour.

Learn to Surf at Sydney's Maroubra Beach

Jay_B, Aug 2025

Surf , sea and sand.. what more do you want?

Fantastic ! What a great way to learn to surf. Our 15 yr old had a blast on a windy, wet day. Really nice set up, good equipment and an excellent enthusiastic instructor. Three people love their surfing. We choose a lovely beach, less busy than Bondi. Cafe and shops around for those not getting wet.
