What We Do
The ultimate Sydney day … icons, vistas and favourite local haunts
From Sydney Harbour to Bondi Beach, our Land and Sea experience has Sydney’s famous sites and secret spots covered. The first part of the morning we collect you from your hotel and take you on a road discovery of The Rocks, Walsh Bay, Dawes Point, The Botanical Garden and Paddington’s fashionable laneways en route to the wharf where we join “Iluka” for a 3.5 hour cruise of Sydney Harbour with a gourmet lunch.
Our day is very inclusive where we host you to a very local perspective of Sydney … dipping your toes in Bondi’s world-famous surf … wandering barefoot on the sands of our stunning harbour beaches … strolling down historic laneways lined with quaint galleries and old world pubs … marvelling at the dramatic cliff views from ‘The Gap’ at historic Watson’s Bay on Sydney Harbour’s southern headland … enjoying a slice of Sydney’s cosmopolitan lifestyle as we explore the boutiques of our leading designers, the restaurants of our celebrity chefs and our street coffee culture.
Aboard Iluka we immerse ourselves in the famous sights of Sydney Harbour. Our iconic Opera House and Harbour Bridge dominate the vista, but we add more than a touch of local flavour as we share intriguing stories of Sydney’s past and our favourite harbour enclaves, accessible only by boat, with you.

“The greatest reward and luxury of travel is to be able to experience everyday things as if for the first time.” We’ve always travelled with these Bill Bryson words in mind because we think sightseeing is great, but ‘doing stuff’ is better! Our own travel experiences became our inspiration for yours and we created our Land & Sea Private Charter to share our ultimate Sydney day with you … looking at our beautiful city from both sides – and, through our local eyes.
