Australia Day Night Fireworks CruiseSydney Harbour Fireworks Cruise
Australia Day doesn't finish when the tall ships go home. Luna heads back out in the evening for the part most people watch from a crowded foreshore: the sun going down behind the Bridge, the Australia Day Live concert playing out at the Opera House forecourt, and fireworks closing the night over the harbour. You get an open-air rooftop, a licensed bar and pizza out of the wood-fire oven, with the crew moving the boat around the harbour so the show is in front of you rather than behind ten thousand heads.

The night
How the night runs
Board in the early evening with a drink in hand and head out while there's still light on the water. Luna works its way around the harbour past the Opera House, Circular Quay and the northern bays as the city switches on and the concert gets going on the forecourt.
Pizza comes out of the wood-fire oven through the night and the bar stays open, with music on the rooftop between courses. Closer to the fireworks the skipper finds a spot on the water for the display, then it's an easy cruise back to the wharf.
