Unfortunately not, because it takes up to 2 hours to be allowed to leave the ship and our regular tour needs to depart the Sydney CBD before then. Docking can be at Circular Quay or Darling Harbour.
We can do a Private Charter picking up at a later time. We pick up at Circular Quay (outside McDonalds) or we can go to Darling Harbour wharf for pickup, as there are usually road closures around the wharves.
The pick up run through the city in the mornings is very busy, so the best pick up option for the North Sydney area is at 7:50am at the All Season Menzies Hotel, 14 Carrington St (directly above WYNYARD Station in the Sydney CBD).
Yes, but the only option available is at 8:15am at Turramurra Railway station (Rohini St. entrance). This must be specifically requested and highlighted in the Booking Notes in the Booking form.
