Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.

What travellers are saying
- Maria G3 contributionsCould not ask for a better experience. Our climb leader Adelina was knowledgeble, fun and took amazing photos. Would reccomend this adventure to everyone. The twilight climb was a perfect blend of day and night scenes of Sydney's landmarks, not to mention the sunset. It was spectacular from the summit.Written 10 October 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC. Tripadvisor performs checks on reviews.

- Mairwen1United Kingdom11,254 contributionsCrossing Pyrmont Bridge is a fun thing to do if you’re exploring the Darling Harbour/Cockle Bay area.
The historic swing bridge was built in 1902 and is now heritage-listed. It’s a lovely, long, wide bridge and is pedestrian and bike only so you can safely stroll along.
From the middle, you get a lovely view over the harbour and marina, with Darling Harbour on one side and Cockle Bay & Barangaroo on the other side. You can also look down over the the historic ships out the front of the Maritime Museum. It’s a great spot to take photos and kids can run freely here.
Some historic features have still been retained. Halfway along, there’s the original control cabin, perched on stilts. From here, the bridge was manually opened and closed, allowing tall ships, steamers, yachts and the ferries pass underneath.
When it was built at the start of the 20th century, the bridge was considered a marvel of modern engineering. This was because it used an engine rather than using steam power or a winch.
For those with an interest in this art of thing, it’s one of the oldest surviving electrically operated swingspan bridges in the world.
NOTE: For those with mobility issues or pushchairs, there is easy access via a lift at the CBD end.Written 11 August 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.
