More ways to explore the area's outdoor wonders
You step off the ship and the harbour takes the first move: a salt-laced wind, gulls wheel over water that pushes against the edges of the city. Over six hours a private driver-guide threads you through Sydney’s landmarks — the sculpted sails of the Opera House, the lattice of the Harbour Bridge, cliff-lined beaches and quiet bays where waves dare you to slow down.

History
Sydney began as the site of the 1788 British colony; The Rocks preserves early colonial streets and maritime history around the harbour.
Conservation
Sydney Harbour National Park protects many coastal headlands and bays; visitors should stick to marked paths, avoid disturbing wildlife, and take all litter with them to reduce erosion and pollution.
