Making a booking:
When you book with Sydney By Seaplane we will ask you for the following information:
• The names and weights of the passengers.
• A mobile phone number that will be in use on the day of the flight (just in case we need to contact you about weather conditions or scheduling matters).
• An email address, or fax, or postal address so that we can send a confirmation letter.
• Credit Card details to secure the booking. We do not process the payment until the day before the flight.
• Once those details are provided and we have made your booking at the restaurant (if applicable) we then prepare a letter of confirmation to send to you. This letter contains information about your flights, check in times, dates, locations, contact numbers, payment details and terms and conditions.
For bookings for large groups
Bookings for large groups require payment well in advance. Once the details (as described above) are provided and we have made your booking at the restaurant (if applicable) we then prepare a letter of confirmation to send to you. This letter contains information about your flights, check in times, dates, locations, contact numbers, payment details and terms and conditions.
Minimum Passenger Numbers:
We need 2 adult fares to introduce a flight.
Single Travellers:
We will do our very best to accommodate single travellers on existing flights.

Restaurant fly and dine experiences
• We make the reservation for you if you are flying to Palm Beach for Jonahs, or to the Cottage Point Inn. We can make reservations at other destinations if you wish.
• Where we include the meal in the ticket price, this offers you full choice of the three course menu. There are no restrictions and there is not a “set menu” for seaplane guests. The “package” price does not cover beverages other than tea/coffee, so before you depart the restaurant you will need to settle your bar bill directly.
• Please note that our restaurant flights are for lunch only. We can offer one way flights to either Palm Beach or the Cottage Point Inn, however, the flights need to be well before dusk to ensure plenty of daylight for the return flight to base. The price for one way flights varies and you will need to phone our office for a quote.
• Transport from the Seaplane to Jonah’s restaurant:
As we depart Rose Bay we will confirm our ETA at Palm Beach with Jonah's Restaurant so that they can send their courtesy coach to collect you from our base at Barrenjoey. Please note also that it is your responsibility to ensure that you arrive back at our seaplane base at Barrenjoey in time for the scheduled departure.

Getting to/from Rose Bay
Please note that we do not offer transfers from/to your hotel.
The best way to get to the seaplane base from the city is by ferry. Ferries depart from Circular Quay. It is a good idea to check at the ferry terminal at Circular Quay to get correct information about which service/s will connect with your flight departure/arrival.
A water taxi from Circular Quay or Darling Harbour is a very efficient way of getting to Rose Bay, although more expensive than a land taxi.
If you need a taxi when you arrive back at Rose Bay please arrange this yourself. You should ask Steve or Jenny for an accurate ETA and pre-order the taxi. Please don’t ask Steve or Jenny to make these arrangements on your behalf, as we are usually on a very tight turn-around schedule and do not have the time to make the calls. Often it is more effective to hail a cab on New South Head Road to get you back to the city. ^back to top |
