Harbour Boat Tours in Sydney AU
Ah, summer. Don't you just love it? Warm days, perfect for spending time outdoors.
What? Not summer where you are? Then head on down to Australia for a summer vacation in the middle of winter. According to the 5-day forecast for this week (week of December 3, 2008), it could get up to 82° F Sydney on Friday. Yes, yes, there's a chance of scattered showers, but, folks, 82° F!
Well, sadly, I can't get away to Australia this winter, but if you can, and you're tired of snowstorms and cold weather, then try something a little warmer for your winter getaway. And, while you're at it, consider a boat tour around Sydney Harbour.
The Sydney Harbour (technically, Port Jackson) offers a number of stunning views. But how much better to see them from a different angle on the water, while cruising along on a sailboat.
There are a dozen or more companies that offer boat rides of the harbor. Some are leisurely sail boat trips, where the gentle winds of the sea blow through your hair while you sip some fruity drink and talk about the fantastic weather you're having while friends at home are braced against the cold. From that vantage point, you can relax and see how closely the sails on the ship match the curves of the Sydney Opera House.
Other companies offer high speed chases around and under the Harbour Bridge. Fish tails, powerbrake stops (in which the boat stops dead within two boat lengths), spins and more beat anything you'll find at Magic Mountain.
If fishing's your sport, take a fishing cruise and find out why the Great Barrier Reef is considered one of the best spots for fishermen and women in the world.
The area is great for wildlife, so of course there are a number of scenic cruises where you can go whale watching, penquin watching, bird watching, or dolphin watching. Anything but snow-angel watching.
You can depart from the Opera House, the Taronga Zoo or Darling harbor to catch any one of a dozen different excursions. Four leave from Circular Quay every two hours. Spend a couple of hours and cruise up the southern shore to Watsons Bay, cross to the north shore to explore Middle harbour, then return to Circular Quay.
For a real treat, take an even cruise for spectacular nighttime viewing of Sydney. And, if you're there on a romantic getaway, consider a gondola ride.
