On the water

The largest natural harbour in the world, Sydney Harbour stretches for more than 19 kilometres. Hop aboard a Captain Cook Cruises ferry for a sightseeing cruise that will show you more of its natural beauty. You can stop off at Shark Island or Cockatoo Island, two of the harbour’s eight islands, to learn about their Aboriginal and convict history.
