Itinerary and highlights

Enjoy Pick up from either SEA LIFE Sydney Aquarium or Furama Hotel Darling Harbour from Sydney.

One of Sydney's most beautiful tree-lined streets tucked away in a quiet harbourside neighbourhood. Stroll at your own pace and take in the charming streetscape. In spring, the jacaranda trees here form a breathtaking purple tunnel that's become one of Sydney's most iconic seasonal sights.

A zoo perched high above Sydney Harbour with sweeping views of the Opera House and city skyline. Spot giraffes wandering with the harbour as their backdrop.

The University of Sydney, often compared to Hogwarts and called the "Harry Potter building" for its grand sandstone Quadrangle. It's an extraordinary piece of architecture that's worth visiting any time of year. In spring, the main jacaranda blooms right in front of the building, is known as the "exam tree" among students, who believe a falling flower brings good luck on their tests.

Nearby the Univercity of Sydney, the neighbourhood of Glebe is the perfect spot to grab lunch and soak up some local Sydney culture.

One of Sydney's most stylish addresses, lined with Victorian terrace houses, boutique shops, and café culture.
A great place to window-shop and soak up that effortlessly cool Sydney energy. In spring, the jacaranda trees lining the street add a soft purple canopy overhead.

The day wraps up at Watsons Bay, a charming seaside destination with fantastic views of Sydney Harbour and the city skyline. Enjoy a relaxing coastal walk along the scenic track to Hornby Lighthouse before ending your trip.

Enjoy drop off back to either SEA LIFE Sydney Aquarium or Furama Hotel Darling Harbour from Sydney.
