Sydney locals can save $100 on a Harbour Bridge climb – here’s how

Home looks pretty good from up here, especially at this price.

It’s one of Sydney’s most iconic (and quintessential) experiences. Heading into The Rocks, gearing up and stepping out onto the 102-year-old steel structure that this city is so famous for. You’re treated to a historic account on the way up, followed by 360-degree panoramic views and the photo opportunity of a lifetime. Of course, we’re talking about climbing the Sydney Harbour Bridge.

If you’re lucky enough to have conquered the summit with BridgeClimb Sydney, you’ll know this feeling well. But for some Sydneysiders, whether it’s due to inflation, budgeting or simply a gnarly cost-of-living crisis, it’s an activity that’s only ever been witnessed on the morning commute.

But that’s all about to change thanks to an exclusive new discount deal. Starting from 1 June and running until the end of August 2025, BridgeClimb Sydney is offering residents of the NSW capital city up to $100 cashback for booking a guided climb.

That’s right – not only will you gain lifelong memories, you’ll get money straight back into your pocket for taking on the 1,332-step ascent. To put this incredible offering into perspective, that’s up to 30 per cent off the original price, depending on what day and climb you book.

Looking for unforgettable experiences at Vivid this year? The special Vivid Sydney Cashback deal is also available, albeit with a slightly lesser return on investment. Book a climb between 23 May and 14 June and Sydney locals will get $50 cashback per person when doing the Vivid Climb.

Am I eligible?

Like all good things in life, there are a few T&Cs that apply. Firstly, to qualify for the Sydneysiders Cashback reward, you must live in the Greater Sydney postcode area. This covers suburbs from the Blue Mountains all the way to the Sutherland Shire, up to the Central Coast and down to Wollondilly. All eligible postcodes are listed on the BridgeClimb Sydney website.

You’ll also need to be at least 16 years old or more and book directly through BridgeClimb for a daytime experience. Only select climbs are covered, including the Summit Day Climb, Summit Insider Day Climb and the Mandarin Climb. The deal is also not valid in conjunction with any other current deals or special offers.

As part of the cashback deal, guests will need to provide proof of identification to validate their residential address. Accepted forms of ID include a NSW driver’s license (physical or digital) or a NSW photo card. This is a strictly confidential process, and personal information will not be shared.

Claims can be made up to 90 days after your scheduled climb date, but must be booked online for a maximum of two guests per booking. Once everything has been approved, you’ll receive a BridgeClimb Prepaid Digital Mastercard, valid for up to 12 months. The best part? You’re welcome to reschedule your booking as many times as necessary, up to 14 days prior to the original climb.

So, Sydneysiders – what are you waiting for? It’s time to get out there and experience your city like a tourist, without the hefty price tag.
