Spectacularly set between the Sydney Harbour Bridge and Balmain, Goat Island offers a one-of-a-kind New Year's Eve experience. With front row views of the Harbour Bridge, you'll be up close to the fireworks and all the Sydney Harbour action.

Bring a picnic to share with family and friends, including responsible amounts of alcohol. Roll out your picnic rug and settle in for an amazing night. It's a good idea to also bring a torch and radio, so you can listen to the New Year's Eve broadcast. 

Visit the NSW National Parks website for further information about NYE at Goat Island or take a look at our full range of NYE events in Sydney Harbour.

There are limits to what you can bring on the to Goat Island, because of the ferry's restricted carrying capacity. You can bring hand luggage that you can carry on your lap on the trip to the island. Limited wheelchair accessible viewing area tickets are on offer. Visit the NSW National Parks website for more details.
