Heritage Harbour Cruise

Heritage Harbour Cruise

Climb aboard the heritage motor launch Harman (c.1943) for a unique 1 hour cruise on Sydney Harbour.

The Westside Stories Highlights Tour shows the transformation of Sydney Harbour from a major working port into one of leisure.

See the remaining vestiges of the working waterfront as you’re taken deep into the bays and coves, west of the Sydney Harbour Bridge.

Highlights include Rozelle Bay where many of the city’s historic vessels are being restored; see where Palmolive and Protex soap was made; be visually transported to ‘Scandinavia’ by multi-coloured harbour front workshops, and unlock what the name Ultimo means?

Subject to availability there may also be spots available on the day of your visit. These spots are Free with the purchase of a See It All ticket. See front of house staff on day of visit.
