Todd WeisrockAugust 22, 2014I only had a couple hours to see Sydney. I took the ferry to Manly, walked around, had lunch, checked out a great pub, and returned all in about 3-4 hours, for under $60 total. Great!!
Upvote27Downvote- Take the lifts at the east end near Wharf 2, where you can go up to the Cahill Walk and enjoy the most spectacular view of the Quay, Harbor Bridge and surrounds. Specially good at sunset.Upvote26Downvote
Natalya ShantyDecember 24, 2015Wonderful experience the journey from the central Ferry station to the Manly beach by the ferry. Time of the road about 30 minutes.

William WatersJune 24, 2013Getting a ferry and back to the zoo gives you great views of the bridge and the opera house, and make sure you get the zoo and ferry tickets combined for a good discountUpvote8Downvote
TingNovember 20, 2014Main ferry terminal close to Sydney CBD. The ferry to Manly is a very scenic ride and leaves every half an hour. Great photo opportunity of the harbour bridge and opera house.

ELS Universal English CollegeAugust 19, 2011Walk from the Opera House all the way around to under the Harbour Bridge. It is a lovely walk and there are always great street performers on the way. You don’t have to tip, but it is polite to do so!

Contiki HolidaysAugust 22, 2011Don't even think about paying for a cruise of the harbour, jump on a ferry for a tenth of the price and get out onto this beautiful harbour. The Mosman Bay or Rose Bay services are great!Upvote5Downvote
James FergusonDecember 6, 2020The heart of Sydney Harbour and the key that unlocks journeys to near by attractions such as Luna Park, Manly, Watson’s Bay and more. Use your Opal card and jump aboard a ferry. Where will you go?UpvoteDownvote- ELS Universal English CollegeAugust 18, 2011Take a ferry ride from here! The ferry ride from Circular Quay across Sydney Harbour to Manly and back again is only $6.60 (this is called MyFerry2).Upvote3Downvote

Sascha PostnerMarch 19, 2013If you are in Sydney for a week you might want to grab a yellow multi ticket 1. It'll get you Manly, Bondi, the zoo and all other important places. Also busses are included. Costs 44 $UpvoteDownvote
