5 star review, if it was not for the price...
Yelp check-in, see picture; but it was not for the Harbor Bridge...
Quality/Quantity -
Okay, it looks like I am missing most of my pictures, sorry.
(Good news, found some of my pictures, see Bridge Climb Review.)
Very organized, same price if you paid in person versus online.
Since we have been hanging out in this area almost daily, we decided to go with the online registration. Smooth and easy. Plenty of time slots.
Prepay for your pictures, it saves you $5AUD; not that it makes much of a difference out of the $750AUD we spent.
The climb itself is NOT scary, even if you are afraid of heights; I am not.
Really safe. If you have done the treetop obstacle courses, the safety systems are similar.
Super windy today 40km, but still no problem with the climb.
Several options (5), we choose the one that spent the most time on TOP of the bridge.
Lots of phone moments, YES they are super strict and will double check that you are NOT bringing anything against their policies. We even took breathalyzer tests, walked through metal detectors, etc.
They have free secure lockers for all your belongings and clothes.
Atmosphere - Free wifi.
Small museum/visitor center to share the history of the bridge.
Very small cafe & gift shop.
Street parking, we have been using public transportation and Uber.
Service - 5 stars, from the people that checked us in to our wonderful funny tour guide.
Many different promotions & packages; see website. Too bad none of them applied to us.
Obviously no bathrooms once the climb starts.
There were one or two water breaks during the climb.
At the end of the tour, you get an opportunity to buy your pictures. Our tour guide did a better job with our pictures than expected. Approximately 35 pictures for both of us!
Minimum health and safety requirements, see website.
Price - $750AU, $502US. Expensive, but just like the Blue Lagoon in Iceland, you just need to DO it. :) LOL.
Owner Comment - Thank you, glad we did it even at your prices. Actually, I think it is a genius business idea to generate $$ towards the bridge, etc.
