31 Sydney Harbour Sea Planes at Rose Bay and fly off to lunch

A great way to spend a day is an understatement but it will set you back hundreds of dollars. Flying in a small aircraft like a sea plane is as different as it looks from the jet you arrived in. Be sure it’s for you. It’s a tight fit once you’re in but you’ll forget that pretty quickly as you try not to spend the whole trip taking photos. The sea planes depart from Rose Bay on the South Side of Sydney Harbour.

32 Sydney Aquarium and Oceanworld at Manly


Pay a visit to Manly Oceanworld or Sydney Aquarium is a good lousy weather activity. Having the sharks, manta rays and other large beasties swim so close up is pretty 'cool'. Two options - Sydney Aquarium at Darling Harbour or Manly Oceanworld surprisingly at Manly. The Sydney Aquarium at Darling Harbour is the larger of the two but Oceanworld at Manly is none-the-less impressive for its smaller size. If you're really adventurous it is possible, at least at Oceanworld, to go for a dive in the tank with the sharks .................rather you than me.

Visit either Sydney Aquarium or Oceanworld in Manly which ever is the most convenient on the day and aim to be there during feeding times (but not if you're planning a dip!). Feeding time at Oceanworld is interesting as the giant Mantra Rays 'cuddle' the divers handing out the fish. Click below for more information:

Behind the Sydney Acquarium you'll find some wild, wild life:

Sydney Wildlife World

There used to be a jocular myth about being able to see kangaroos hopping down George Street, Sydney's main high street. The opening of Sydney's new zoo - Sydney Wildlife World - has come close into turning this poor old joke into a reality.

Sydney Wildlife World

Sydney Wildlife World adds to the cage (sorry, zones) vs natural environment dilemma. By placing Sydney’s latest Zoo in Darling Harbour, walking distance from George street and the CBD the wildlife really has come to town.

So should you go? Would you be missing out if you didn’t?
I guess it depends upon how much time do you have and how do you like your Koala, nicely packaged or el natural.

33 Jet boat around the Sydney Harbour


Jet boating around Sydney Harbour is just good fun! Makes you the attraction so you must wave even if no-one waves back.

Jet Boat Middle Harbour Adventure

Jet BoatClick on image to book, discover more and confirm details

See the sights of Sydney from a Jet Boat, ride a few ocean swells, then discover the tranquility of Middle Harbour National Park followed by an exhilarating Jet Blast with all its amazing manoeuvres.

This is one experience you won't forget. After the sights of Sydney, we jet to the ocean's edge and ride a few swells before discovering the beauty and calmer waters of Middle Harbour National Park.

With a complete 'Jet Blast' experience included, this is one adventure you'll never forget. Our suppliers' vessels have been specifically designed and built to not only meet all Australian Standards and New South Wales Waterway specifications, but also to perform the amazing manoeuvres of a jet boat in safety.

The boat has a 20 degree dead-rise which gives the vessel a smoother ride through the occasional rough conditions of Sydney Harbour and ocean swells. Bucket seats (the first of its kind in a Jet Boat) and safety handrails have been fitted to both vessels to maximise the comfort and safety of all passengers.

(Beware - the links below to Sydney Harbour Jet Boat and Sydney Jet Boat below contain a sound track so turn the volume down on your PC if you don't want others to hear it).

34 AMP/Sydney Tower

Sky Tour (recently renamed OzTrek)
As well as the view from the top (which you pay for and shouldn't if its very cloudy) AMP / Sydney Tower also boasts a virtual Australian tour - particularly useful if you not seeing much else of Australia (could save you a fortune in flights!).

Sky Walk

Sky Walk provides an opportunity to walk around outside Sydney Tower. Judging from the Sydney Tower website it will be a similar system to the Harbour Bridge Climb (i.e. they will chain you to the sky walkway). You'll be higher up and further away from Sydney Harbour.

35 Spit Bridge to Manly Walk


Most people seem to start at the Spit Bridge and walk to Manly. You could be different and walk it backwards - just mind your step. Either way it’s one of the longer but more rewarding walks in Sydney. If you do finish at the Spit Bridge - there's a place for coffee / cold drink by the water near the yacht club close to Shores Restaurant. Alternatively stop and lunch at Clonney's on the Beach at Clontarf Reserve (Beach). Perhaps a little over priced, variable quality but excellent location.

This site contains a MAP of the Spit Bridge to Manly walk - ignore the times underneath, give yourselves four hours, take water with you and wear flat shoes and of course, sunscreen. Numerous buses cross the Spit Bridge - check Sydney Ferries and public transport information for details.

It is possible to keep going from the Spit Bridge to Beauty Point and beyond to Primrose Park, Folly Point, Tunks Parks and North Bridge. If you’re interested just sign up to ‘Sydney’ Sydney100's free newsletter
