Experience what it was like to arrive at the Quarantine Station aboard the RMS Niagara in 1921. As the ship enters Sydney Harbour, a case of smallpox is discovered, and all passengers are ordered into quarantine. During this immersive journey, you’ll uncover what life was like on board the vessel and learn how passengers were processed upon arrival at the Quarantine Station. This engaging and educational experience brings history to life in a way that’s both interactive and memorable.

Designed especially for kids, this one-hour tour is guided by the Quarantine Officer, who will lead you through the historical quarantine procedures once used at the station. Children must be accompanied by an adult, and adults should only book when a child is included in the booking. It’s a unique opportunity for young explorers to step back in time and discover a fascinating chapter of Sydney’s history.

This is the worst company I’ve ever delt with. I had this booked for my child arrived at the time on the ticket and the bus had left early leaving my child in tears. I offerd to get a taxi to catch up with them to which they refused to allow and wouldn’t give a refund or reschedule.

Brilliant, great fun! Thank you Damien and Francis. Both boys (age 12&7), enjoyed the tour. My only very small negative, is that we would of liked to have been able to see more out of the windows, but understand the darkness is needed for spookiness. But overall great, and would highly recommend 😊

Soooo good. Great mix of creepy stories + facts about Dublin, interwoven with a highly competitive front vs back of bus creepy quiz. Loads of chances for the kids to volunteer and ask questions. And one or two little jump scares to keep us all on our toes. All the action kept the kids really engaged and the time flew by. Loved it. Massive thanks to Damien!!
