Sydney Opera House Tour
Go beyond the typical tourist experience of simply taking a photo of the Sydney Opera House by going inside the famous structure for a behind-the-scenes tour. Our guide will show us the iconic opera house’s secrets as we discover places usually closed to the public and explore the impressive theater that hosts more than 1,600 performances a year.
Learn to Surf
Australians love the beach – being an island nation with beautiful coastlines and 85% of the population living within an hour of a beach, it’s not surprising.

TEAN Optional Excursions
Participating in these excursions will depend on your program dates and semester abroad.

Sydney Tip
Coastal Walk
It won’t take you long to discover the coastal walk from Bondi to Coogee – it has amazing views. It also has a really cool way of always changing and presenting something new. If you’re lucky, you may even see whales off the coast! The Sculpture by the Sea event happens once a year and places beautiful giant works of art along the walk and in the parks.

Resident Director - Sydney & Wollongong
SYDNEY TIP
Cockatoo Island
Take the ferry to Cockatoo Island in Sydney Harbour. It has an interesting history, and you can get some great views of the city. They sometimes host special events here, such as art exhibitions, but you can just go anytime if you want to wander around and explore.
