Itinerary
Enjoy a unique combination of exploring the Sydney Opera House from the inside then take to the skies and see this architectural wonder from the air.
Come backstage with us with a Sydney Opera House Essentials tour that will take you on an emotional journey, engrossing you in a story to rival any opera plot and explaining how this miracle of architecture and engineering came into existence against impossible odds, this building was nearly never built. More than 60 years ago, Jorn Utzon designed what is now considered one of the greatest buildings of all time. But for Utzon, the Sydney Opera House story was no fairy tale. The Essential Tour brings to life the saga behind the making of the world's most famous house.
This tour puts Jorn Utzon on centre stage and is a tribute to his creative genius. You will discover why Utzon was more than an architect: he was an architect of change. And how, against a
landslide of political and public criticism, he created the youngest building ever world heritage listed.
We'll take you inside one of our working venues to experience the magic behind the world's most extraordinary opera, ballet, symphony and dramatic performances.
Then at 10.30 we join a water taxi
to take you to Rose Bay to meet your flight in a Sydney Seaplane. Be awed as beautiful Sydney Harbour unveils itself, with stunning sandstone cliffs rising abruptly from the sea. From world-famous
Bondi Beach climb to 1000 feet for a truly stunning vista.
We track to the Harbour Bridge and Opera House, and complete a circuit above both famous icons before gently splashing back down
to earth in Rose Bay. After landing, your water taxi will be waiting to take you from the aircraft back to Sydney Opera House where you will be free to wander the promenade.
