Harbour Taxis,
as they are called, operate 24-hours a day and are a quick and convenient way to get to
waterfront restaurants, harbor attractions, and some suburbs. They can also be hired for
private cruises of the harbor. A journey from Circular Quay to Watsons Bay, for example,
costs about A$45 ($31.50) for two. Extra passenger costs just A$5 (U.S.$3.50); some taxis
can hold up to 28 people. An hour’s sightseeing excursion around the harbor costs
A$150 (U.S. $105) for two. The two main operators are Taxis Afloat (tel. 02/9955
3222) and Water Taxis Combined (tel. 02/9810 5010
