Bridge Climb

Bridge Climb, Harbour Bridge

Climbing the Sydney Harbour Bridge is a unique experience which thrills visitors and locals alike. Climbers are carefully prepared with a briefing and safety demonstration, and take on the bridge in groups of 12 at 10-minute intervals from early morning to evening every day. Climbers can choose between two guideded experiences, the Bridge Climb or the Discovery Climb: the original Bridge Climb takes visitors along catwalks and up ladders to the summit, while the Discovery Climb allows a closer look at the workings of the bridge. Most popular climb time is at twilight, when the breathtaking view from the top of the bridge is enhanced by sunset. The entire operation from preparation to descent takes three and a half hours. Each climber receives a certificate and a group photograph as a souvenir of the experience. Booking ahead is recommended to ensure you don't miss your preferred date and time.

Sydney Tower Skywalk

The Sydney Tower Skywalk is the city's highest open air adventure, situated at 853 feet (260m) above the ground. The open air viewing platform is only accessible as part of a tour, and allows thrill seekers to step out onto the glass floor and literally walk on the roof of the city. Participants are attached by harness to the external walkway and are accompanied by a guide, providing colourful commentary of Sydney from a unique perspective.
