The Experience
What your day looks like
Enjoy an entertaining and fascinating guided convict history walking tour on the island with a catered lunch, along with a relaxing cruise around the harbor. Sit back and take in Sydney’s beautiful harbor vistas whilst sipping on delicious chilled champagne! Step ashore Me Mel Island (Goat Island) and walk in the footsteps of Australia’s early convicts. Enjoy a personally guided tour of the island that contains some of Australia’s most important and intact convict-built buildings. Your guide will engage you with tales of punishment, deaths, and escape whilst you visit sites such as the amazing early 1800s military gunpowder magazine, the soldiers’ barracks complex, and Sydney’s oldest Water Police Station. This is an easy 1.5km walk. Cruise aboard one of our historic timber vessels past some of the wealthiest and most prestigious suburbs in Australia. See Sydney’s modern-day waterfront castles and learn about the history of the beautiful Kirribilli House and Admiralty House. What better way to relax than by enjoying a chilled glass of bubbly? Enjoy the complimentary bar. Drinks such as standard beers, wines, and soft drinks are still available on board at regular bar prices.
