Being a parent can be one of the hardest and most rewarding jobs you’ll ever have. Whether you’re a time-stretched working parent, a stay-home carer, or big-hearted grandparent, quality family time is the key to lasting happiness. That’s why Captain Cook Cruises have created Family Bonus offers on a range of experiences, and at times that suit all family lifestyles.
A Hop On Hop Off pass is the easy and fun way to navigate your way around the array of harbourside attractions, national parks, beaches and islands. Jump onboard your dedicated rocket ferry stopping at Darling Harbour, Circular Quay, Taronga Zoo, Shark Island, Watsons Bay and Manly. Bring along your smartphone and headphones and tune into the onboard commentary with fascinating stories from both modern Australia and Aboriginal elders. There is a choice of one-day or two-day Hop On Hop Off Harbour Explorer passes from $39-$55, or a single loop of the Harbour on the Rocket Sightseeing from $29. Expand your child’s skills and independence and let them plan the itinerary from the easy-to-follow timetable. With a Family Bonus fare, one child cruises free with every full-priced adult.
Parent support groups don’t need to be relegated to the park. New Mums and Dads will love the all-new Premium Harbour Experience. The 1 ½ hour cruise departing up to five times daily includes super comfy Ocean Deck reserved lounge seating with plenty of room to wield the pram, your choice of house beverage and an Australian Cheese and Charcuterie Board to share from $55.
Combine amazing sightseeing with a family-friendly lunch venue with 360-degree water views. The 1 ½ hour Top Deck Lunch cruise is fantastic value for money including a two-course menu on board all-weather, super-cruiser Sydney 2000 from only $69. Redeem a NSW Parent Voucher before 30 June 2022 and claim a free house beverage for adults and a free ice-cream for children.
For something a little sweet, a little savoury, and a lovely family treat, head to the High Tea at Sea. Pink bubbles are a must, as are the tiers of delectable delicacies from $79. The Sunset Dinner is ideal for the time-stretched parent from $79. This 2-hour, 3-course early dining cruise can have the kids back home and in bed by 8.00pm, leaving your parent-only time intact and relaxed for the working week.
Jump on the Taronga Zoo Express ferry with a free Sky Safari cable car ride and zoo entry from $59 return; head out to Watson’s Bay for a headland nature walk to Hornsby Lighthouse from $16 return; pack a picnic and your swimming gear for a Shark Island hideaway from $20 return; or from mid-May join a Whale watching adventure to see the gentle giants in their natural environment from $55.
