Soaring high above the sparkling waters of Sydney Harbour in a seaplane is surely one of the world’s top travel experiences – whether you’re skimming the waves in Rose Bay, banking over the Opera House or thundering over the Sydney Harbour Bridge. Taking off and landing on water is an experience in itself.
Those with limited time can choose a 15-minute scenic flight over the harbour, Manly and Bondi. Others might opt for a charter flight up the coast to Pittwater, the Hawkesbury River or even the Central Coast.
If you have time, a day trip to Palm Beach, one of Sydney’s ‘northern beaches’ and a playground of the super-rich, is arguably the pick of the trips. The day trip includes lunch at a local restaurant, kayaking and a stroll along the famous white sands.
