Sydney Soft Landing Package

This four-day guided experience is designed specifically for blind and low vision travellers, offering an immersive and supportive introduction to Sydney through tactile, auditory and sensory-rich experiences. Highlights include a guided walk through the historic Rocks precinct, leading up to the Sydney Harbour Bridge, where stories of early Sydney and its architecture are brought to life through detailed description. Guests then enjoy a one-hour tactile tour of the Sydney Opera House, exploring its iconic design through touch and expert interpretation. Nature features strongly with a visit to The Gap in Sydney's Eastern Suburbs, where vast sandstone cliffs and crashing ocean waves create a powerful sensory experience, followed by time at the world-famous Bondi Beach, with the option to swim alongside a dedicated Support Guide. On day three, guests can choose between two memorable excursions: a visit to the Blue Mountains to get up close to the Three Sisters and experience the dramatic landscape, or a journey to the Hunter Valley to sample local wines and artisan produce. The tour includes a pre-departure virtual meeting, up to ten hours per day of private Support Guide assistance, private transport throughout, and centrally located four-star accommodation, ensuring a seamless, comfortable and enriching experience.

Buck's thoughtful assistance and knowledge of sydney's landmarks and history, helped make it a great day. On the ferry to Manly, he explained where the Sydney Harbour Bridge and other points of interest were in relation to each other. We spent a wonderful couple of hours swimming at Manly Beach: it's not every day you get a trained life guard like Buck, all to yourself. The fish and chips by the beach were fantastic, and we finished out the day with a relaxing drink back at Sydney's oldest pub, The Fortune of War. All in all, it was a great day, and we'd recommend getting in touch with Cocky Guides for a friendly, professional and bespoke experience.
