As the witching hour approaches, embark on our popular Ghost Tour. Led by a knowledgeable guide, you’ll search for ghosts in historic (and, some would argue, haunted) buildings, rarely open to the public. You will hear macabre stories and hair-raising paranormal tales, including reported hauntings.
Whether you’re a sceptic or a believer, scare-proof or easily spooked, one thing’s guaranteed… our Ghost Tour is a unique way to experience the darker side of Sydney.
It can be hard to put a price on a spooky experience but tickets for our Ghost Tour are $47 per person.
Ghost Tour is exclusively available from 9pm to 11pm on select Saturdays nights, and is not offered as an on-demand group tour.
Psst... Want to explore the darker side of Cockatoo Island with your family but don't want to spook the kids? Check out our all-ages Dark Past Tour. Running 6:30pm to 8pm on select Saturday nights, it's the prefect blend of mystery and history. Tickets available from $16.
