After taking a splash in the Four Seasons stunning swimming pool you are in the best location to head out and explore the city. Burn off some of that excess energy and defy the skies and summit the Sydney Harbor Bridge for epic views across Sydney or take to the water for a lunchtime cruise through the cities famous harbor – a must when in Sydney. We’ve included a surf lesson on the world-famous Bondi Beach for the whole family. After getting kitted out and learning the basics upon the sand you’ll head out into the water and in no time sure to be riding a wave like the Bondi locals, you will all be pros before you know it.
While in Sydney you must experience the iconic harbor from the water, on a splendid motor yacht you will be whisked to the lesser know coves and beaches of the harbor, where you can all swim and kayak until your hearts content before refuelling the whole gang at the delicious bbq lunch prepared for you on the beach.Where to stay

In the southern half of Australia the seasons are the opposite of those in the northern hemisphere: spring comes in September, summer is from December to February, autumn runs from March to May, and winter begins in June.
Byron Bay is in northern New South Wales and has one of the best climates in the country. Mild all year round with particular warm and dry weather between October and April although it is still possible to enjoy the outdoors in the winter months. Whale-watching season is from May to October.
Winter (June-Aug) is high season in Queensland; the water can be chilly - at least to Australians - but its temperature rarely drops below 22°C. April through October is peak visibility time for divers. Summer is hot and sticky across the state. In North Queensland the monsoonal Wet season is from November or December through March or April. It brings heavy rains, high temperatures, extreme humidity, and cyclones. It's no problem to visit then, and the Wet or "Green" season allows an unusual opportunity to explore this region during a truly balmy time of monsoonal calms.
