Highly Recommend
Dan was very knowledgeable and enthusiastic about the market. It was an amazing experience to watch the auction. We also got to see the fish up close and speak with fishermen. Would highly recommend!

Highly recommended
Dan took us on a wonderful informative tour of behind the scenes at the fish market. He was extremely knowledgeable and passionately gave us a good understanding of everything from catching the fish, the boats, the auction floor and processes involved in getting them to market. He showed us a tank of 10kg Tasmanian crabs, crayfish and a variety of fish from small whiting to tuna and marlin.

Fascinating tour !
I would tell anyone who travels to Sydney that this is a must-tour. We learned so many fascinating facts about the fishing industry, and our guides were super knowledgeable and friendly. It was so fun to learn about the fish auction, and to see some of it live. You also get to see so many different fish species up close. I know it’s a pain to get up so early in the morning, but trust us, it is worth it. And don’t worry, there is a coffee stop on the tour! The building itself is gorgeous, and after the tour, there are so many kiosks to choose from for brunch. (If you like sushi/sashimi or oysters, this is the place to be!)

Amazing insight into the fishing industry and different species of fish really good guide
via Tripadvisor
Incredible once in a lifetime experience
One word WOW! Our tour with guide Dan was absolutely incredible. Right from the moment we booked to the time we left the whole journey felt like we were part of the family. The atmosphere of the workers salesman and fisherman was something truely special and you should all be grateful for. The wealth of knowledge from Dan about every species of fish was absolutely incredible. The way you get to see every stage of the marketing process from the fisherman on the boat till the moment it leaves in a truck it is something everyone needs to see. Hands down one of the best tours / experiences we have had in Sydney and will definitely recommend to anyone travelling here

Why this scores 76
The Outty Ranking is a weighted composite. Here is how this experience performed on each component.
Sydney Fish Market Tours: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Sydney.
How much does Sydney Fish Market Tours cost?
+
Prices start at $35 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Sydney usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.
How long does Sydney Fish Market Tours take?
+
Plan for about 1.5 hours from start to finish, not counting travel to the meeting point. Most travelers leave another 30 minutes on either side so the rest of the day in Sydney is not rushed.
Is Sydney Fish Market Tours worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 76 out of 100, which we label "Strongly Recommended". That score blends traveler sentiment (5/5 across 44 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable last minute in Sydney, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.
Can I cancel or reschedule Sydney Fish Market Tours?
+
Yes. Cancel free up to 24 hours before the start time for a full refund. Inside that window the booking is non-refundable, and no-shows are not refunded.
Is Sydney Fish Market Tours suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 1.5-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book Sydney Fish Market Tours?
+
Around 15 people booked this in the last 30 days, so popular slots go early. Two to three weeks ahead is comfortable in shoulder season, while summer weekends and holidays in Sydney can sell out a month out. Same-day spots do open up when other travelers cancel, so it is worth checking if you are already in town.
What should I bring or wear?
+
Bring photo ID, your booking confirmation on your phone, a refillable water bottle and comfortable shoes. Dress for the weather in Sydney and add a light layer if any part of the 1.5-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Sydney Fish Market Tours start and how do I get there?
+
The exact meeting point and directions are on your voucher once you book, and they sit in central Sydney within reach of public transport. Arrive 15 minutes early: late arrivals are treated as no-shows by most operators.
What are the best things to do in Sydney?
+
On Outty we rank every Sydney experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include WILD Wombat and Kangaroo Day Tour, All Inclusive, Depart Syd: Blue Mountains Best All Inclusive with Local Guide, Blue Mountain Small Group Tour All Inclusive. The city page groups everything into most popular, highest reviewed, last minute and family-friendly so you can build a day around what actually delivers.
When is the best time to visit Sydney?
+
Booking patterns follow the same curve: prices and queues climb in peak weeks, while shoulder season gives you better availability on the top-ranked experiences and more room to change plans.
How many days do you need in Sydney?
+
Three full days covers the headline sights without sprinting. A workable rhythm is one anchor experience each morning, such as this one, an unhurried afternoon in a single neighborhood, then a food or nightlife booking in the evening. Five days lets you add a day trip outside the city.
Do I book through Outty or through the operator?
+
Outty ranks and explains the experiences, then hands you to Viator to complete the booking with the operator directly. The price is the same as booking on Viator yourself, and Outty earns an affiliate commission on the referral, which is how the rankings stay free to read.
