Tour Highlights

Full Day Private Charter: The jewel in Localing Sydney crown is their beautifully appointed, luxury vessel Iluka. The customised cruiser brings to life Sydney’s icons from the serenity of the harbour and is a truly exceptional way to view the city and surrounds. A private full day charter with Iluka lets you to spend a full day relaxing on the harbour, yet still allows for a tour of the city’s iconic sites. Away from the hustle and bustle of other tourists, this is the perfect opportunity to enjoy the city in peace. The day’s itinerary can be customised to your needs, depending on your interests. So, whether you choose to stay within the harbour’s waters, or venture out to the famous Manly Beach. Perhaps you’d like to simply relax onboard and take in Sydney’s famous landmarks, or step off the vessel to visit a local fish market – purchasing fresh ingredients for a delicious onboard lunch. Whatever your interests, Localing Sydney will build a day to suit you.

Explore Sydney’s Northern Beaches: A perfect day for those who have seen Sydney’s icons, and are looking to further explore what Sydney has to offer. Spend a leisurely day exploring Sydney’s beautiful northern beaches and immerse yourself in the local surf culture. Your hosts will share with you their favourite way to spend a Sunday, driving along the gorgeous northern coast. Discover the local surfing spots and secluded seaside corners on your way to the picturesque Palm Beach. A special place filled with rich history and hidden secrets, let your host Jamie show you around where he grew up, listening to him regale you with a true local’s stories. The journey home will be via the sheltered waterway of Pittwater and Broken Bay, two destinations with myriad vistas and secret nooks to explore.
