Well worth doing as long as you can bring yourself to accept that it is not value for money. The climb is easy. Essentially you walk along some flat catwalks, climb a set of steep stairs which they call ladders but aren't, then walk up a gentle stairway on the arch of the bridge. Unless you are terribly scared of... more

The climb was OKish, but highly overpriced. Can think of better ways to spend the $180, but then that is my view, you may feel otherwise! The climb guides are competent & friendly, safety is assured, and the climb itself is not much of a challenge even for sedentary types like yours truly. You are not allowed to take your... more

I did the Early Twilight climb in September 2008. The evening climbs are more expensive than the day ones. It is nice to see the city lights but I'm not sure the overall pricing gap is worth it. As previous reviewers have mentioned, the first 45 minutes or so is taken up by "suiting up" and getting your gear in... more

I completed this climb a couple of years ago with my brothers and father in December. After already living in Sydney for several years before I attempted the climb, I thought that I had seen all Sydney could offer in terms of views, but to my surprise i was amazed at how much cooler it was to be standing on... more

This was my one big splurge on a recent trip to Sydney, and it was worth it. The views are spectacular, and you get plenty of time to enjoy them, you never feel rushed by the leader. As the other reviews say, you are firmly attached to the bridge (though I have no problem with heights, and I would have... more

Two weeks ago, my 8 year old daughter and I walked across the Sydney Harbour Bridge. We were staying with friends on the North Shore so took a train to Milson's Point and walked up the stairs to the bridge. The walk is easy and flat and from end to end takes approximately 20 minutes. It is very popular with... more

We booked the bridge climbed back in England, cost about £90, It's a bit pricey but very much worth it. It was blowing a gale and heavy rain on the day of our climb and YES they do go up in this weather so be warned to change your booking you have to give 7 days notice. Still we did... more

3 things put me off the bridgeclimb - The cost, $180 is a lot of cash - No camera's, I believe you get a couple of free prints but more prints = more $$$ - There are LOADS of people doing it, at one point you could see 6 groups on the bridge at once For me the hidden gem... more

I'd just like to say first off, that when I first came to Sydney, I looked at this and though," Who would pay so much to just climb a bridge." Little did I know that my girlfriend had already bought tickets for this. Once we made the climb, I had to eat my words. It's an amazing trek, with amazing... more

I climbed the Harbour Bridge in 2007 and just wanted to reassure those who are afraid of heights like I am - yes, it is quite scary but you are completely safe and it is definitely worth doing. You get amazing views from the top of the Bridge, especially on a clear day, and the feeling of standing at the... more
