Creator's Key Takeaways

we had a great day we were on the go nonstop we visited a couple of free museums we got to walk around the opera house

all in all it was a fantastic day now we did have the challenge to set your budget and I think we well and truly stuck to that budget

there is no need to book a tour unless you wanted to get outside of the Sydney

we spent well under $50 per person it worked out around $40 per person

Creator's Tips & Advice

βœ“Use the ferry system to get around Sydney harbor cheaply and efficiently
βœ“Explore The Rocks area for historic buildings and budget-friendly dining options
βœ“Walk across the Sydney Harbor Bridge for free spectacular views instead of paying for the climb
βœ“Budget around $40 per person for a full day port visit including lunch and transport

YouTube Video Description↓

There are so many free and cheap things to do in Sydney, Australia when visiting on a cruise ship. We share what we did, including visiting The Rocks, The Opera House, cruising the harbour in a ferry and lots of scenic exploring. We explored the city on our own and had a great day without the cost of an expensive shore excursion offered by the ship. We talk about the two cruise ports in Sydney, White Bay and Overseas Passenger Terminal. This video is the first in a series we are putting together for people who like to explore ports on their own, stick to a budget and take things at their own pace. We have included what things cost us and how much we got to do in one day in Sydney. We hope you enjoy watching and get some ideas for your own cruise visit or trip to Sydney.
