Description:

Join this unique cruise of Sydney Harbour and historic Goat Island, delving into the colorful past of Australian convicts. With a complimentary bar aboard the Wangi Queen, sail in the footsteps of the first convicts before cruising, in contrast, past some of the richest harborside castles.

Set sail from the Campbell's Cove in Sydney and head through the world-famous Sydney Harbour, where you can snap iconic shots of the Opera House and Harbour Bridge before making your way to Goat Island. Dock here and go on a guided, historical tour with a local tour guide. Gain fascinating insight into the island, which contains some of Australia's most important convict-built buildings. Your guide engages you with tales of punishment, death, and escape while you visit sites such as the early 1800s military gun-powder magazine, the soldiers' barracks, and the Water Police Station.

Hop back aboard the Wangi Queen, an authentic timber ferry, and enjoy a freshly prepared buffet lunch while you take in the splendid views of the other side of Sydney. The sprawling waterfront homes of the rich and famous are comparable in size and stature to the magnificent castles here. Keep your glass topped off for the duration of the tour, with complimentary wine, local beer, and soft drinks, as you take in breathtaking skyline views.
