Immerse yourself in the ultimate 6-hour private sightseeing experience with 69 Tours. Building on our signature coastal route, this extended journey offers a richer, more unhurried exploration of Sydney’s spectacular eastern coastline, historic harbour enclaves, and vibrant local heritage—giving you ample time to wander, hike, and savour every moment.
After pick up your guide will drive you to, and through, prestigious Double Bay. As you cruise along its stylish, tree lined avenues and high-end boutique precincts, keep an eye out – you might spot a celebrity grabbing coffee or catch a glimpse of a million-dollar supercar. From Double Bay, we slip away to a quiet, little-known oasis in Vaucluse. You’ll enjoy extra time at this hidden gem to take a leisurely, self-guided stroll across a historic suspension bridge and soak in the peace of the secluded harbour foreshore, before heading to Watsons Bay, the vibrant midpoint of your journey. With extra time built into this extended itinerary, you can take an invigorating scenic walk out to South Head, where the mighty Pacific Ocean meets the entrance of Port Jackson, offering sweeping views of the iconic red and white striped Hornby Lighthouse. After a comfortable rest break, you’ll visit The Gap, a dramatic ocean cliff lookout with crashing waves and a rich, intriguing history. Here, your guide will share fascinating local stories that very few visitors ever hear. Heading back towards the city, we’ll pause at Australia’s oldest operating lighthouse site before pulling up at Sydney’s premier hilltop viewpoint. It’s the ultimate photo opportunity, offering a breathtaking, postcard perfect panorama of the Sydney skyline framed by the harbour. From here, our coast-hugging drive winds past the golden sands of Bondi Beach and along the dramatic headlands towards Bronte, with short stops at both, to capture the perfect ocean shot. The journey then puts you in the driver’s seat of your own discovery. You’ll have the unique opportunity to take a self-guided walk through the heritage-listed Waverley Cemetery, famous for its stunning Victorian and Edwardian monuments perched dramatically above the Pacific Ocean, rejoining your guide on the other side.
By now, you’ll have worked up an appetite, and we have the perfect Aussie tradition lined up to satisfy it. Relaxing along the edge of Cowper Street Wharf you can admire the naval warships docked at Garden Island while indulging in a legendary “Hot Dog ‘de Wheels'” or famous Tiger Pie, at the world-renowned Harry’s Café de Wheels.
The tour concludes with a scenic loop around historic Hyde Park.
The Sydney Scenic Extended Drive is a seamlessly blended coast-to-harbour adventure combining scenic driving, coastal walks, iconic local eats, and generous stops.
