You are in for the thrill of a lifetime today as you enjoy the experience and romance of a floatplane flight and a gourmet-dining long lunch.
The aircraft takes off from beautiful Rose Bay and follows the coastline along Sydney's northern beaches, flying directly from Sydney Harbour to the tranquil waters of the Hawkesbury River and Ku-Ring-Gai Chase National Park. You'll land in front of Cottage Point Inn -- one of the Sydney area's best-kept secrets -- a luxury destination whose restaurant is perched on the sparkling river itself. Steep hills rise sharply from the opposite bank, creating an almost fjord-like landscape.
Step out onto the restaurant's private jetty and take your seat for a leisurely three-hour long lunch -- a South Pacific summertime tradition -- in stunningly scenic surroundings. Enjoy superb modern Australian cuisine in the form of a delicious, curated degustation menu showcasing the best and the brightest of Australian cuisine innovatively presented and crafted with love. You are welcome to add matching wines at your own expense.
Take time to simply relax amid the sights and sounds of the Australian bush and birdlife; then, on the return flight to Sydney Harbour, your pilot will fly past the Harbour Bridge and Opera House before landing at Rose Bay -- a truly spectacular way to end this once-in-a-lifetime riverside lunch experience.
Transfer back to the ship by van or coach.
