Be dazzled by Vivid Sydney

Sydney

Sydney’s sparkling harbour, in all its iconic glory, is lusted-over by the world’s most avid travellers, all hankering to tick this beauty off their bucketlist. And yet for Kiwis, it’s just a three and a half hour flight from New Zealand.

The city so many yearn to visit is on our doorstep, and every year we have the opportunity to experience Sydney in her finest light.

Sydney and its iconic landmarks, including the Sydney Opera House, Sydney Harbour Bridge, and Royal Botanic Garden, will come alive from 23 May-14 Jun 2025 with mesmerising art installations, light projections, live music and culinary delights.

Seeing the Vivid Sydney lights from the Sydney Harbour on-board one of Captain Cooks Vivid Sydney cruise and dining experiences makes this the perfect on-water Vivid Sydney experience.

“For the those bold enough to make the climb in the dark, Bridge Climb’s ‘Vivid Sydney Climb’ delivers dazzling night views over the city and provides a different perspective of this light extravaganza. You’ll need to book in advance as its popular.”

I specialise in travel across Australia, the Pacific Islands, Cruises, and bring a wealth of knowledge from a six-month backpacking adventure across Europe that gave me first hand insight into travelling on and off the beaten track.

Some of my most memorable experiences include hot air ballooning over the desert in Dubai, island hopping along Croatia’s stunning coastline, and something a little closer to home - Fiji! - A destination every Kiwi should experience at least once.
