The gateway to all the wonderful things Sydney Harbour has to offer
This is the gateway to all the wonderful things that Sydney Harbour has to offer. Circular Quay in Sydney Cove is bordered by the Sydney Opera House and Royal Botanic Garden on one side and the Sydney Harbour Bridge on the other. It’s also the main ferry terminal in Sydney, making it easy to explore one of the world’s great natural harbours.
Stroll along the western side of the busy transport hub to the Museum of Contemporary Art Australia and The Rocks, where the British colony began in 1788. On the other side of the quay, explore Sydney’s dark past at the Justice and Police Museum housed in a former colonial court and police station.
The Sydney Harbour Hopper operates between Darling Harbour, Circular Quay, Taronga Zoo and Watsons Bay. See calendar with days of operation.
Due to works being carried out on our regular Wharf 3 in Manly from the 9th of October to the 28th of October, we will be utilizing Manly Wharf 2 instead. Please also expect some slight delays.
