What To Expect
Arrive at the wharf to meet our friendly staff who will guide you through a 20-minute instructional briefing. During this time, you'll get a thorough safety orientation, learn how to operate the Axopar boat with confidence, and take a short test drive to feel comfortable behind the wheel.
A $1,000 security hold is required upon arrival via our portable card terminal. This is a pre-authorization only, not an actual charge. The fuel is not included in the hire price; fuel used during your trip will be deducted from this hold, and the remaining balance will be released back to your card at the end of your trip. (Most guests use around $150 but will depend on usage)
Once briefed, you are free to enjoy the beauty of Sydney Harbour at your own pace. The Axopar is perfect for exploring iconic landmarks like the Sydney Opera House, Harbour Bridge, and secluded bays away from the crowds. The only limit is that you can't go outside Sydney heads.
Take your time to soak up the stunning harbour views, swim in quiet coves, or relax on deck with friends and family. You're encouraged to bring your own food and drinks for a customised picnic experience on the water.
You can return and meet back at the wharf anytime up until 5 PM.
We provide laminated maps with suggested routes and hidden gems to help you discover the best spots for sightseeing and swimming, ensuring a memorable and personalised Sydney Harbour experience.
