Highlights

Sydney Harbour
Sydney Harbour is the second largest natural harbour in the Southern Hemisphere and it is often described as the most beautiful harbour in the world. The harbour shoreline boasts exclusive homes dotted around the waters edge, large tracts of parklands, reserves and gardens. It is possible to walk around much of the harbour edge, however, the best way to experience Sydney Harbour is to be on it! There are a variety of ways to experience the harbour including sailing, sailing regattas, treasure hunts by vessel, sightseeing cruises, lunch or dinner cruises, kayaking, jet boating or even by seaplane!

Blue Mountains
The Blue Mountains are only a 90 minute drive from Sydney and offer spectacular scenery, plant life and wildlife. The mountains reach a height of 1100m, and have been given their name due to the blue haze that hovered above the mountains produced by the oil from the plentiful Eucalyptus trees. The Blue Mountains National Park offers great walking trails and is still relatively untouched similar to the other national parks in the area.

Hunter Valley
The Hunter Valley is New South Wales premier wine region. It is a 120 minute drive from Sydney.
