Overview

Seeing Sydney Harbour by boat usually means sitting back as someone else drives. This guided adventure lets you take the helm of your own speedboat while still benefiting from the support of a guide. After a quick training session, head past landmarks such as the Sydney Opera House, Sydney Harbour Bridge, and Fort Denison—getting closer to the harbor’s islands and hidden corners than large boats can.

Pilot your very own speed boat around Sydney Harbour
Enjoy a unique vantage point from which to view the city's skyline
Benefit from undivided attention on a private tour
An active alternative to standard harbor cruises

Had an absolutely great time! Great way to get up and personal with some waves in the Sydney harbour. Tour guide was really nice and approachable, made you feel at ease and confident before heading out. Highly recommend this to anyone even if you’re a local.
