Sydney Harbour Cruise
The best way to see Sydney's stunning beauty is from a boat out in the famous Sydney Harbour. Harbour Cruises offer visitors a lovely day out on the water, and take their passengers to many historical places and landmarks that dot the coast. These boat rides also offer up great views and photo opportunities of the city's skyline and the towering Sydney Opera House.

There are various different cruises that can be taken, each offering up a day of fun on the water. There are many companies that run these excursions, including Captain Hook Cruises, Vagabond Cruises, and Matilda Cruises.

If you are a history buff, try taking a heritage tour, which visits numerous historical landmarks and places of interest. For a more grisly theme, take the Gruesome Tales Tour, which details the history of Sydney's convicts. There are also tours that just take passengers to a mixture of points of interest. For the romantics, a dinner cruise is a great way to spend the evening, with fantastic cuisine and an unbeatable view.

Boat tours that explore the Harbour's islands are also a great option. These must be booked ahead through the National Park Information Center.
