Ferry / Jet Cat / River Cat: Sydney Ferries
  • Tip Rating:
  • 'Mode': AROUND
    Category: Ship/Boat
    Getting TO/AROUND: One very scenic way to explore Sydney and move around is using the Ferry Service.
    From Circular Quay the service operates to 41 wharves - including Parramatta, Woolwich, Birkenhead Point, Darling Harbour, Pyrmont Bay, Neutral Bay, Mosman Bay, Watsons Bay, Taronga Zoo and Manly. Circular Quay being the main Ferry Terminal next to the Sydney Opera and Harbour Bridge.
    Ticket prices start at AUD 4.80 for a single journey to AUD 15.00 for a day trip ticket,

    Buses: Sydney Bus Service
  • Tip Rating:
  • 'Mode': AROUND
    Category: Bus
    Getting TO/AROUND: Sydney operates a great bus service with more then 300 bus routes throughout this great city.
    What astonished me that some busses are gas operator - hence a very ecological way to operate the cities main commuter service.
    The operator has a very comprehensive web page with all routes, tariffs and information, just click on the link below.

    Taxis / Water Taxis: Sydney Taxis
  • Tip Rating:
  • 'Mode': AROUND
    Category: Other
    Getting TO/AROUND: Taxis can be found all over Sydney. However I experienced twice that the taxi driver did not know where the main road was where I was heading to since he was from China. My tip therefore is now the street and the suburb where the street is located to ensure that you not send on a goose chase around town.

    Monorail: Sydney Monorail
  • Tip Rating:
  • 'Mode': AROUND
    Category: Train
    Getting TO/AROUND: Metro Monorail is a great experience for every tourist, offering a bird’s eye view of arguably the world’s most beautiful city, taking in the ‘must see’ hubs of Darling Harbour, Chinatown and the central shopping and business districts.
