Top 35 Things To Do In Sydney

32 (30) Quad Bike Adventure

Continuing our little detour away from Sydney there’s max fun to be had on a four wheel Quad Bike just over an hour away from Sydney.

Riding through bushland and open paddocks in these powerful little machines will get your pulse going and put a wide smile on your face. Go as slow or as fast as you like but follow your guides instructions as the Quad Bikes are heavy and can hurt you if you mess about.

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

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.

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.

Don't be afraid to ask
Lost? Curious? Don't know where to go for a decent lunch.? If you need help ask someone - most Sydney-siders are proud of Sydney and will be happy to assist - exploit this weakness and get their help as often as possible.

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
