Cruise Sydney Harbour for 90 minutes with live commentary, Opera House and Harbour Bridge views, tea or coffee, and flexible departure times.

See Uluru’s Field of Light before sunrise, walk among 50,000 glowing spheres, and enjoy hot drinks with views of Uluru and Kata Tjuta.
“Celia and Aravind were the perfect hosts for the Field of Lights tour. Cheerful and knowledgeable, they gave interesting and informative commentary, with occasional humour thrown in that made everyone feel special and welcomed. Arrival at the FOL viewing area was timed perfectly and allowed plenty of time to wander through the field and take in the wonder of this incredible installation. Warm drinks and bikkies at the end were really appreciated to warm up the hands and body! Finally, watching the sunrise and seeing the sunlight against Uluru was magical. This tour is the perfect way to start the day!”

Review of the Port Douglas Daintree morning tour, with a river cruise, crocodile spotting, Mossman Gorge swim, tips, value, and drawbacks.
