    The Harbour City

    Sydney Opera House

    Sydney Harbour Bridge

    This masterpiece is a steel-through arch bridge across the Sydney Harbour. It is nicknamed “Coat hanger” because of its unique arch design. Tourists are allowed to walk and cycle across it as well as climb to the summit to enjoy the panoramic view, but not without a protective gear. If you are planning to climb the bridge it highly recommended to book in advance. For further information on how to book the climb contact us!

    Bondi Beach

    Definitively Sydney, Bondi is one of the world’s great beaches. It’s the closest ocean beach to the city centre (8km away), has consistently good (though crowded) waves, and is great for a rough-and-tumble swim (the average water temperature is a considerate 21°C). If the sea’s angry, try the child-friendly saltwater sea baths at either end of the beach, both of which received an upgrade in 2019. Free beach-friendly wheelchairs (adult or child) can be booked through the Bondi Pavilion.

    Two surf clubs – Bondi and North Bondi – patrol the beach between sets of red-and-yellow flags, positioned to avoid the worst rips and holes. Thousands of unfortunates have to be rescued from the surf each year (enough to make a TV show about it), so don’t become a statistic – swim between the flags. Contact us!
