Iconic Duo

Sydney Harbour BridgeClimb+ Sydney Opera House Tour

For those looking to tick off Sydney’s most iconic experiences in one outing, this duo offers the perfect blend of adrenaline and awe. Just moments apart, BridgeClimb Sydney and the Sydney Opera House Tour let you see the Harbour from two unforgettable perspectives.

Begin with the legendary BridgeClimb along the arches of the Harbour Bridge, and you’ll be rewarded with sweeping 360° views of the city, harbour and beyond. Then move on to the Sydney Opera House for a guided tour that reveals the stories, engineering genius and creative spirit behind the world-famous sails.

Both are once-in-a-lifetime experiences that are so quintessentially Sydney that you simply must-do when you are visiting.

Harbour Duo

Magistic Lunch Cruise — sightseeing + buffet meal

Why not combine the excitement of a scenic sightseeing tour with a delectable meal by hopping on board one of the Sydney lunch cruises? The Magistic cruise offers views of the Sydney Opera House, the Harbour Bridge, the grand Kirribilli House and the bright and colourful Luna Park — Sydney’s best attractions from the decks of an impressive catamaran.

Alongside these spectacular sights, you’ll enjoy a delicious all-you-can-eat buffet lunch that truly offers the best of both worlds. Lunch on board the Magistic begins with a selection of fresh salads, followed by a generous buffet featuring globally inspired dishes influenced by Italian, Mediterranean and Indian cuisines among others, ending with a decadent dessert.

Wild Duo

Merlin 2-Attractions Pass — WILD LIFE Sydney Zoo + SEA LIFE Sydney Aquarium

Right in the heart of Darling Harbour sits one of Sydney’s most loved combo experiences – a wildlife and underwater adventure just steps apart from each other. With a Sydney Attractions Pass by Merlin Entertainments, you can choose 2, 3 or 4 attractions; but at the very least, the WILD LIFE Sydney Zoo + SEA LIFE Sydney Aquarium combo is a winner for all ages.

Families love it because it’s the perfect mix of excitement and education: kangaroos, koalas, crocodiles and colourful reptiles on one side, and shimmering jellyfish, sharks, rays and tropical fish on the other. These Darling Harbour attractions are easy, walk-through experiences with immersive displays that adults love, while kids can’t get enough of the close-up encounters and interactive zones.

This Wild Duo promises double the wonder in one convenient location, and is often the highlight of the Merlin attraction pass.

Final Thoughts

Sydney Harbour has quite a few activities that work well as combos to fill your day with a mix of experiences and emotions. So, if you’re planning to visit Sydney, why stop with a single activity when you could double up on the fun and dive into experiences that offer twice the excitement. Your perfect harbour adventure is waiting!
