Fantasea Cruising

Fantasea Cruising departs from Pier 26 in Darling Harbour for sightseeing on Sydney Harbour. From the water, you can see the Opera House, Harbour Bridge and other landmarks, with guided commentary adding local context along the way. Catamarans have several viewing decks, so you can move around for different photo angles or settle in for a comfortable ride. Some services connect with Circular Quay, Taronga Zoo, Watsons Bay and Manly, making the cruise a useful way to combine harbour views with a stop at another destination.

Views from the harbour

A Fantasea sightseeing cruise gives you a different angle on Sydney’s landmarks, including the Opera House and Harbour Bridge. The boat’s multiple viewing decks let you move around as the scenery changes. For photos, the upper deck and bow provide additional places to look out from.

Commentary during the trip covers local knowledge and harbour sights, with a light touch of humour. The cruise is a compact way to take in several landmarks, particularly if your time in Sydney is limited.

Routes and connections

Fantasea’s Sydney Harbour Hopper has one- and two-day passes, with routes connecting Circular Quay, Taronga Zoo, Watsons Bay and Manly. Check the route and departure point for your chosen service before setting out: the company operates from different embarkation locations, and getting to the wrong wharf can mean a walk to another departure point.

Some options combine a cruise with a stop at a harbour destination. If you are planning a visit to Taronga Zoo or another stop, confirm the itinerary and ticket details when booking. Online booking is available.
