Chartering water taxis in Sydney Harbour is enjoyable at any time of year, so striking are the landmarks of the area, like the Sydney Opera House and the Sydney Harbour Bridge, as they are reflected by the shimmering waters of the harbour. If there is one time you need to experience the harbour, though, it’s at midnight on December 31st each year.

Indeed, the Sydney Harbour offers one of the most spectacular New Year’s Eve celebrations in the world. When the clock strikes 12, the sky explodes with fireworks, bursting in clouds of red, yellow and orange above the Sydney Harbour, and illuminating the waters below in jaw-dropping fashion. Seen from nearby buildings or even on TV, the display is marvellous; observed from a boat out on the water, it’s downright life-affirming.

At Sydney Cove Water Taxis, we can provide you with front row seats to this indescribable spectacle. In Sydney, fireworks are actually shot off about the harbour at both 9 p.m. and midnight, so you have two chances per year to experience this marvellous show.

With that said, two opportunities per year is still very few, and seats tend to fill up ahead of time for our Sydney Harbour water taxi cruises. With that in mind, make sure to book your seat in advance. Exclusive hire of either water taxi or limousine can be arranged, call to have a quote for your private party.
