Your Sydney Cruise Includes:
Your experience begins with a comfortable, guided cruise through Sydney Harbour, taking in iconic sights including the Sydney Harbour Bridge, the Sydney Opera House, and some of the harbour’s most fascinating islands: Fort Denison and Shark Island.
As we approach the ocean we take in the beauty of Sydney’s rugged coastline. Once out to sea, hear from our experienced marine naturalist on board about the lives of our humpback whales. With FantaSea Cruising Sydney, our experienced crew ensures you are well positioned for a once-in-a-lifetime experience and fantastic photo opportunities with humpback whales.
After watching the whales, enjoy a pleasant cruise back to Darling Harbour, where you can sit back and relax at an iconic waterfront restaurant and enjoy a two-course lunch with a drink included.
We’ve done the hard work for you and selected three of the best waterfront restaurants in Sydney for a delicious lunch. Now comes a difficult choice – enjoy either a classic Italian meal at Casa, or modern Australia cuisine at Meat District Co.
