Australia Day in Sydney Harbour is best experienced by being on the water — from the daytime Harbour Parade and Ferrython to Australia Day Live and the fireworks that light up the skyline at night. A cruise on a glass boat, with floor-to-ceiling windows and an open Sky Deck, offers one of the most immersive ways to experience these events. It places you right on Sydney Harbour with uninterrupted views from every angle. And, true to its name, the Clearview glass boat delivers exactly that!
