The adventure boats will tour through the harbour past Bradleys Head, Mrs Macquarie’s Chair, Kirribilli House and onto Woolloomooloo. Hop-off to walk through the beautiful harbourside Botanical Gardens before taking-in the sights at Rushcutters Bayand Elizabeth Bay.

Then return to the True North to ring in the New Year with a live band and see the Harbour Bridge fireworks from one of the most spectacular front row seats in the house.
Pittwater
After a night to remember, enjoy breakfast in beautiful Pittwater. This morning walk to the Barrenjoey Lighthouse and beachcomb Pittwater beach before we return to the True North for a voyage past the Pittwater yacht clubs and onto the tranquil waters of the Hawkesbury River. There might also be a chance to walk from Longnose Point to Flint and Steel Bay through the beautiful Kuring-gai Chase National Park – Australia’s second oldest national park. Finish the day with a helicopter flight to the Hunter Valley and a wine tasting at our feature winery.
Jerusalem Bay
Wake up to song of Jerusalem Bay cicadas and then join our local guide as we explore beautiful Cowen Creek to learn about its rich history and rock art. Then enjoy a refreshing swim at one of the Creek’s many sheltered beaches before rinsing-off under a waterfall. Over lunch we’ll head to delightful Bantry Bay where you’ll be able to join an infamous True North ‘raft-up’ and dance the night away with our live band.
