Taking a Cruise From Sydney Harbour

June 9, 2010 - 3:27 am No Comments


If you want a holiday that’s fun and cheap, hop on to the Sydney Harbor and get ready for a cruise. With just a bit of planning, you can even take in the historical sights, the cultural tradition, the grand and elegant buildings, and the loads of food choices from all over the world.

The best time to take a cruise from here is in November, which is late spring here. You must remember to take along sweaters, a camera, batteries and memory cards and a hat. The cruise begins at Circular Quay, and it makes sense to arrive here a little earlier than 9 a. m. when it sets sail. Take advantage of a hop-on-hop off cruise ticket and go visit the Taronga Zoo which is mesmerizing with its emus, kangaroos, koalas, birds, wallabies and beautiful flora and fauna. Then, go shopping and then on to Darling Harbour, visit an aquarium and one of the fantastic museums nearby before returning to Circular Quay.

Apart from this, you can also choose from the innumerable ferries that begin at Sydney Harbour and take in the golden beaches, the warm sun, waterside homes, the sound of the water and blooming jacarandas. If you do get on to a ferry, you will experience a form of life of the people of this harbor city. A ferry is a mode of transport here. They set sail at Circular Quay, which is fully equipped with ferry wharves, jetties, a railway station and bus terminals, apart from coffee shops and tourist shops.

Choose to go anywhere from here-Taronga Zoo, Mosman, Neutral Bay, or Manly, if you want to go north. If going southeast is your wish, go to Watsons Bay and Darling Point, or sail westwards to Homebush Bay or Parramatta, Balmain or Gladesville and Parramatta and then cruise around a little before you return to Darling Harbour.

On your cruise, you need to keep an eye out for the Sydney Opera House in the east and the Museum of Contemporary Art and the Rocks district in the west, all very near the Circular Quay jetties. Go all across the waters to the fun and entertainment center-Luna Park, and then on to the Star City casino and entertainment center at Pyrmont Bay and Darling Harbour-something you’re going to love.

You’d be extra fortunate to board a cruiser around New Year’s Eve because of the fantastic fireworks display which begins at midnight for the New year’s Eve Sydney Harbour. This usually begins at 9 p.m. and is followed by the Harbour Light parade.

If you’re a beach bum, Sydney has many fantastic, clean and inviting beaches with a lot of water sports and activities to offer you. Do visit Manly beach, among others. Or if you like you could take a leisurely cruise around the harbor and admire its wonderful and quaint waterside homes and dock at an isolated spot for an exclusive lunch.

Don’t go packed with food and drink. Instead, go under the Harbour Bridge and land up at the Sydney Fish Markets. Get onto the wharf and choose from any of the seafood specialty restaurants and order take-away seafood the way you want it, hot or cold. Then, bite into their amazing selection of fresh water fish delicacies. In fact, here you will find food, food and food what with a fruit and vegetable market and a deli.

Go on the water and take a Sydney Harbour cruise.It’s going to be great fun.
