Up Close with the Sydney to Hobart Yacht Race 🎄🚤
Join us for an epic Boxing Day adventure aboard Coast Harbour Cruises as we set sail from Barangaroo to witness the thrilling start of the Sydney to Hobart Yacht Race! 🚤✨
We got front-row seats in the spectator zone, right in the heart of the action, with stunning views of the flotilla of yachts preparing for one of the world’s most iconic ocean races. The festive energy on Sydney Harbour is electric, and the sights of these magnificent vessels setting off for Tasmania are nothing short of breathtaking.
Onboard, the vibe was just as exciting-delicious food, refreshing drinks, and a buzzing crowd added to the unforgettable experience. Whether you’re a sailing fan or just love a great adventure, this is a must-watch for anyone who loves Sydney Harbour at its best.

Cost TOO much MONEY +((((
Diamond member , why, food are hard to get in UK.
Have stayed there many times. Either first night on arrival in Fiji and/or last night before departure, depending on flight times. Only the basic room, similar to but smaller than the one in the video and no patio but fine for a single night stay. Price is reasonable and restaurant food good but menu hasn't changed much over the years. The bar switched to beer in cans a while ago (smaller than the stubby bottles at same price) but last trip in October the stubbies were back. 😊
Thank you for your detailed and helpful comments! Hopefully you had a wonderful trip like we did!

It’s a great place to stay
What time of the year was this?
What time of year was this?
Great question! Thank you for watching! This video was filmed during winter at the end of July. We also filmed the Bondi Beach walking tour on the same day which you can find on our channel 🤓 Thanks for liking and subscribing to our channel.
Would you recommend to do this in jan ? Too hot?
I wouldn’t have thought it would be too hot. This video was filmed on a 33 degree celsius day. Just remember to wear sunscreen, bring along some water and wear a hat that won’t blow off in the wind (e.g. one you can tie to your head with a drawstring). Enjoy your time in Perth! We thought the roof top bus tour was a memorable way to see the city.
Hi, did you guys pass by the Vatican railway station during the tour? thx
hi there, the Vatican Railway station is not a part of the tour of the Garden. We hope that you have a wonderful trip and hope that this video helped you with your planning! Thanks for watching and subscribing.
What's the song called please
Great question, if anyone knows if you can please assist Jay with the answer.
I flew the QF 787-9 Business Class from SYD to AKL and the seat was very innovative and has enough legroom for the journey. For the meals, they first gave me the salad, some cold dishes and bread. Next they gave me the main meal which is Thai Green Curry. The entertainment system was good, however they could have added more choices and more music to the list. You can also use the music to listen when you are going through the flight map. The flight map was very good and was innovative and had good features. You can view via cockpit view, window view. However there are no tail cameras.
Hello thank you for showing us the Admiral's club at SFO. It looks nice. Does the shower cost extra money to use?
@@CruisnChris hi there! We appreciate your question and your kind words, thank you. The shower is subject to availability. You’ll just need to ask at the desk upon entry and they can assist you with a towel. Save travels and thank you for watching us.
Nice! Thanks. FYI at 2.33 min mark you were travelling east on Riverside drive, not west.
Appreciate the feedback, thank you. Hopefully you enjoyed the journey! Please like and subscribe. If this helped you plan your trip we’d love to hear more.
Sauna?
Thanks for your question, yes there is a small sauna in the hotel. Sorry we missed it, we try and film when there’s no one else using the facilities to minimize disturbance. Thanks again for liking and subscribing to us!
What's the name of this suite? I was trying to search it up.
Hey, thanks for watching. This is the Premium Suite. I’ve just updated the video description to clarify. We put the room type in our video reviews just before we open the door 🚪 Thanks for subscribing and supporting us! Have a great vacation, hopefully this video has helped you.
Wow ! That's mesmerising i would love to relax there peacefully ✌🏻 🫶🏼
Paradise indeed, this place looks spectacular my friend! Amazing 👏👏
I loved all of the iconic treasures
It is a great place to stay; the rooms are big and clean.
Yes it's the #1 rated hotel in Cleveland for a great reason ☺️ Thanks for watching and please subscribe for more adventures and reviews.
Why do I see that most of the staff here are Asian? Are the stalls here run by immigrants, or do local people not like doing these kinds of jobs?
Very interesting, this video is so GOOD
Thank you for sharing. Does the 45 euros include entry to the Vatican Museums? Thank you for your reply❤
Yes it does. You can stay behind after the tour and enjoy the museums. What’s not included in the video is that your guide will give you an overview of what to look at and expect in the museums before entering, showing you from a touchscreen kiosk.
Cool 😎

Finally a decent review on a particular hotel room
Congratulations on visiting somewhere other than harbourside Sydney. Parramatta was the early seat of government. The original Government House (the site of the revolt against Governor Bligh - yes, the same Bligh) took place in what is now a large park just to the west of your walk. Parramatta is the head of navigation of Sydney Harbour (where the fresh water meets the saltwater). The ferry ride between Circular Quay and Parramatta is a close second to the Manly Ferry for sightseeing. Along the foreshore near the ferry wharf are plaques commemorating lots of personal stories from Aboriginal and European people around when settlement by the latter first occurred. Most of Sydney's population is in the west, far from beaches and the harbour. Parramatta is actually very close to the population centre of Greater Sydney. If you go under the James Ruse Drive bridge ferry just out of Parra, you will see the words "I sowed the forst grain" (sic) commemorating how the convict farmer Ruse was the first to successfully grow grain nearby to supply the colony. You noticed the Metro station under construction. That's to serve the growing population (now 270,000) and the numerous high rise residential buildings up to 67 stories high. The new Light Rail you passed running along the streets will soon be opening.
Thanks for the special comments, we will visit Parramatta again after the light rail opens and film another walking tour. We do have walking tours from other spots in Sydney including Manly and Bondi. We're open to suggestions for other places as we're in Sydney. Eventually we'll also film Newtown and Burwood.
That's surprising. You would expect personalised service in a first class lounge then again coffee isn't really a Japanese thing. I'm looking at trying out that lounge, after seeing your video, in early October. I'm flying Cathay but have OneWorld Emerald status.
We visited the lounge shortly after Japan opened their international borders post 🦠 CV19. Arrangements are quite possibly different now. Let us know if there’s been any updates when you visit and we can certainly pin your comment on this video. Thanks so much and happy travels!
MY NAME IS ELARA
Hi Elara! 👋 This sounds like the perfect hotel for you! You might be lucky enough to get a discount or a room upgrade when you stay! 😄
San Francisco style sourdough french bread, the best bread in all the world!!!!! 👍🥖
Do they have barista made coffee in that lounge?
At the time of filming, the coffee in the lounge came from a machine.
Great review! We are thinking about staying here next ski season.
How much?
We deliberately don’t include prices in our Hotel reviews as they can wildly vary. We suggest using a hotel booking website and also checking directly with the hotel and comparing.
I rode this trolley when I was at Niagara Falls
Soooooo cool! ❤
singapore airlines business class looks better
Possibly? Flying from Sydney to San Francisco via Singapore would be quite the distance!
Your dedication to your craft is truly inspiring. Keep up the great work!
My local, I shop here every week
why are they so many chineese there . Is this in chinatown
This was filmed at the conclusion of the Chinese Lunar New Year celebrations and also the Fish Market is within walking distance of Chinatown. There are tourist buses that bring foreign tourists to the Fish Market, it’s the largest in the Southern Hemisphere!
Thank you
Thanks , really enjoyed that :)
Thank you for sharing ❤
Is it easy to get into city? How is the train frequency
We stayed here for the Tokyo Marathon and found it convenient to the Convention Center. There isn’t a central CBD for Tokyo, the city is quite spread out. You’ll just need to pick something that you want to stay near and choose your accommodation that way. Unfortunately there won’t be a hotel close to everything. Hope it helps! Thanks for watching and commenting 😊
Which room are you on? Thanks
Thanks for your question, we stayed in the Premium Suite. We have recorded a hotel and room review. If you subscribe to our channel, you can watch it once it's posted 😄
The very first shot I thought I was going to see a kitten climbing the tower.
If you know, you know, is that Goodie enough?
Thanks for the review. Have you flown Business Class on the A380? Just curious as to how the onboard service compares with the 787. I have heard that it can be a bit hit-and-miss due to the sheer size of the cabin.
Unfortunately not yet. This is actually our first time flying Qantas to the USA and our first flight review video. We have previously flown Air New Zealand and Virgin Australia (when they were flying there). We have flown business with Qatar on an A380 though! We certainly had an A+ experience on this flight. Hope this review helps!
@@takeoffandwander it does. Thanks!
I only flew economy on Qantas. However, I flew Business on Virgin Australia once
Very very nice
Nice
So nice!
Qantas always has the dearest business class fares
We were lucky and got these tickets during the San Francisco re-launch sale. The flight was around $1,000 return cheaper than flying through LA. If you are flying onwards (Chicago, New York, Orlando) with Qantas then always check different route options to save money.
Snagged return to sfo for 60-70% less then the usual fare.,
