Sydney Harbour Island Hopping

Overview

Apart from the occasional jaunt on the Manly ferry, most people haven't really had the opportunity to experience Sydney Harbour from atop the waves, let alone explore the intriguing islands that dot these glistening waters. As part of the Crave Sydney International Food Festival, you can Island Hop your way around Sydney Harbour and experience the cultural, historical and gustatory delights on offer for the whole month of October.

Explore Shark, Clark and Goat Island as part of the Island Hopping day-trip on Saturdays and Sundays from October 9 -24. Goat Island offers an historically rich snapshot of Sydney in the 1800's; Shark Island is a great place to lay out a picnic or explore the nature trail; while Clark Island showcases Aboriginal culture.

If the culinary arts are more your thing, Fort Denison Restaurant offers a unique dining experience with incredible views over the Opera House and Harbour Bridge. Dining in the middle of Sydney Harbour — who’d have thunk it? Picture yourself cruising out into the middle of the harbour and, in a setting you'd find hard to rival anywhere in the world, sampling the specially created menu inspired by Australia's culinary history and using local produce and wines. You also get a glass of sparkling and a guided tour of the island to cap it off.

So go spend a day on our resplendent harbour, indulging your tastebuds and experiencing a side of Sydney that you didn't know you didn’t know about.
