Fly in a Seaplane or a Speedboat(?)

How about the thrill of a flight in a Seaplane, a Quad Bike ride, a dash on a Speed Boat and even a Sky Walk! Maybe take a nice relaxed "Manly" stroll besides Sydney Harbour just to polish off a great day in Sydney

31 Sydney Harbour Seaplanes

Flying in a small aircraft like a seaplane is as different as it looks from the jet you may have 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. It is an amazing thing to do. One of the those experiences that tend to leave you with a big fat smile on your face. The seaplanes depart from Rose Bay on the South Side of Sydney Harbour.

The seaplane flight below gives you about half an hour above Sydney. As at the time of posting, the price tag is for two passengers.

Don't be afraid to ask
Lost? Curious? Don't know where to go for a decent lunch? I know, I know, few of us like asking strangers for help. The fact is however, if you need help there are many that are prepared to give it. Just ask someone. Most Sydneysiders are proud of Sydney and will be happy to assist. Exploit this weakness and get their help as often as possible.

32 (30) Quad Bike Adventure

Quad Bikes near SydneyAlmost Sydney Quad Biking - More fun than a trip to the dentist

There’s max fun to be had on a four wheel Quad Bike or ATV (all-terrain vehicle), just over an hour away from Sydney. This is a great way to experience the aussie bush. It might also be a smart move if the idea of actually going for a bush walk has about as much appeal as a trip to the dentist.

Yeehaw!

Riding through bushland and open paddocks in these powerful little machines will get your pulse going and an involuntary "Yeehaw!" is almost acceptable as most people won't be able to hear you anyway.

Quad Bike the Australian Bush

You don't need any experience as training will be given before you get going. Once you have been trained, and have had some practice, you will zoom and bump along on a one hour fully-guided quad bike tour of bushland around the base of an escarpment. 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 too much (yes mum).

33 Sydney's Fast Boats

Not even Sydney Harbour can contain this craft. Hang on:

Sydney POW!er Boating

Sydney Power BoatingTake off!

This is a serious power boat ride with an emphasis on power. There are THREE V6 engines at the back of this thing. This boat is quick. It is very quick. It has the potential to travel over 100ks an hour though (and above) the water. This is racing speed. You will still get to see the Sydney Opera House and Sydney Harbour Bridge among many others, just a little quicker than most..

Special Forces

Most of the fast boats on Sydney Harbour are designed for tourists and look the part. This one doesn't. This craft is usually reserved for the Special Forces.

Sydney Heads

Assuming your boat is not commandeered for a commando raid somewhere your pilot will not be able to contain your vessel within Sydney Harbour. It is just too powerful. Your boat will just have to be taken out for a run through Sydney Heads. You will be the fastest thing heading out of Sydney Harbour. Hang on!

Sydney Power Boating

Middle Harbour - Still in Sydney

Jet boating around Sydney's Middle Harbour is just good fun! Makes you the attraction so you must wave, (if you dare to let go) even if no-one waves back.

Sydney's Middle Harbour Pleasure Cruise

Jet Boating Middle Harbour is a bit of a tour of contrasts. On the one hand you have the peace and quiet of Sydney's Middle Harbour National Park. You also get to see some wonderful Sydney Sights from a wonderful vantage point, namely Middle Harbour.

The Sydney Heads Rush!

Against this there is the adrenalin rush as your speed boat twists and turns in the water as well as a trip out towards the Pacific Ocean to ride the waves.

34 Sydney Tower Eye, 4D Cinema and Skywalk

Sydney Tower has grown an eye! The old Sydney Tower is no more and now we have a New Sydney Tower complete with eye. Well it worked for London. For the record, Sydney Tower Eye was previously known as Centrepoint, Sydney Tower, AMP Tower and Westfield Centrepoint.

4D Cinema

As well as the view from the top (which you pay for and shouldn't if its very cloudy) Sydney Tower Eye has a 4D move theatre. This does not mean you will break the laws of physics and travel back to the future. Instead, you will be subject to, sorry, entertained by "in-theatre effects including wind, bubbles and fire".

Sydney Tower Eye Sky Walkers

If this all sounds like "why list the Sydney Tower Eye" it's because of the view. It's Sydney and you can't beat that no matter what you call it.

Get as high in Eye as the Eiffel Tower

The Sydney Tower Eye Sky Walk provides an opportunity to walk around outside Sydney Tower. You'll be walking 250m above Sydney - as high up as the Eiffel Tower. If you dare, step onto the viewing platform. It is just a sheet of glass between you and the bustling City of Sydney beneath your feet ..gulp. You'll be higher up than those climbing the Sydney Harbour Bridge but, as you might expect, a little further away from Sydney Harbour.

Sydney Tower Eye Sky Walk

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 an excellent location.

Spit Bridge to North Bridge?

Give yourselves four hours, take water with you and wear walking shoes and of course, sunscreen. 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 Sydney100's Newsletter
