Sydney Harbour isn’t just famous for its sparkling blue waters and world-class icons - it’s also home to 13 unique islands. Each one tells a story of Aboriginal heritage, colonial history, and modern reinvention. From peaceful picnic spots to UNESCO World Heritage sites, exploring the islands is one of the most rewarding ways to see a new side of Sydney.
Wow, what an amazing whale watching season it has been - and many believe the best is happening right now. Spring is here and so are the playful new Humpback calves. Who doesn’t love a baby! As the weather heats up, mums and bubs head south to their summer feeding grounds in Antarctic. For families, nature lovers, and anyone who wants to experience something magical, it’s the ideal season to see these gentle giants up close.
Dive beneath the surface of Sydney Harbour and you’ll uncover a secret world - the most diverse urban waterway on Earth! While the Opera House and Harbour Bridge capture the spotlight, beneath the waves lies an underwater world that’s just as iconic, and far less known. From glowing pineapplefish to tiny seahorses and even little penguins, the Harbour is teeming with life.
