Climbing the Sydney Harbour Bridge is a rite of passage that everyone must experience at least once in their lifetime (or multiple times — who's stopping you?).

BridgeClimb Sydney will take you safely — big emphasis on 'safely' for all you worrywarts out there — up and down the iconic landmark in a small group. You'll receive a bunch of stories and stats along the way. But, let's be real, you're here for the view. And what a view it is — you'll be 134 metres above sea level, affording you panoramic views of Sydney in all its glory.

You can choose from day, night, twilight or dawn climbs. All BridgeClimbers receive a group photo, cap, free pass to the Pylon lookout — a lookout atop the big stone tower at the south end of the bridge — and, best of all, a certificate of authenticity. Stick that one in your wallet for the next time you're out and someone doubts your bravery.

And for those of you who want a taste of the experience but are not entirely sure that going all the way to the top is for you, you can try the BridgeClimb Sampler. This means a leisurely one-and-a-half hour stroll to halfway up the bridge to a unique vantage point (minus the vertigo).
