The programme

We walk from the port and head towards Harbour Bridge.
We reach our destination and, once there, get ready to climb the bridge. We are handed a special uniform, communication equipment and a harness that will be attached to a static line for the entire duration of the climb.
The walk is 1500 metres long and develops along catwalks, ladders, and arches during a 3-hour climb. There is a handrail along most of the bridge to make the climb easier.
The top is 130 metres high and offers amazing 360° views over the bay and city.
