Celebrating the start of each New Year has been around for more than four millenia. People see this as a head start for a new beginning; reflecting on the negatives and mistakes of the previous year and welcoming the New Year with a positive viewpoint. New Year’s Eve is one of the most celebrated festivals around the world as it transcends the cultural and religious bounds of all people. People look forward to New Year’s Eve to have a great end to the year and celebrate with high energy and great joy. If you're uncertain about what to do and where to go, here are two unique experiences for you to try for a memorable NYE.

Harbour Cruises, Sydney

Sydney is a tourist hotspot housing over a hundred breezy beaches, gardens, skyscrapers, parks, a glittering harbour and much more. This sun-soaked capital of New South Wales offers an innumerable amount of events and celebrations throughout the city, including the famous Sydney fireworks that hit the skies at 9pm and midnight, during the time of New Year. The harbour is one of the main attractions due to its beautiful waterways, fleet of cruises and a playground for water related activities. The best vantage point to view the city’s fireworks is on the New Year’s cruises and it is one of the best crowd-pleasers around this time. Get on the cruise and experience Syndey’s way of celebrating the New Year with a delicious dinner, premium beverages and drinks and the glittering views of the harbour and its skyline. Numerous cruises, including the multi-million dollar catamaran with expansive outer decks, an authentic paddlewheeler with live shows and wrap-around verandah and a premium glass boat with unobstructed 360° views of the harbour and its fiestas. Feast on a deluxe seafood buffet or a seated and served menu (depending on the cruise) prepared freshly by the trained chefs. Embrace the festive spirits with a drink in your hand and stroll along the cruise as you witness the iconic landmarks of Sydney, the Opera House and the Harbour Bridge. If you seek entertainment, pick a cruise that offers live music, DJ or even a live cabaret show. With stunning views of the lively harbour, a tantalizing dinner, modern interiors, entertainment and much more, the New Year’s Eve cruises in Sydney Harbour is one of the most desired destinatinations to be at for a unique NYE experience. Additionally, the cruises will be located in a pre-designated exclusion zone which offers prime perspective of the much-awaited fireworks.

V8 Supercar Experience, Brisbane

Brisbane, the capital of the sunshine state, Queensland, is also Australia’s third most populated city after the famous Sydney and Melbourne. While Sydney and Melbourne have a considerable multiethnic and multicultural imprint, Brisbane offers the best of Aussie culture. Even though you can feel the buzz of NYE and celebrate outdoors at a party or restaurant, this one-of-a-kind experience will leave you speechless. Feel your heart pump faster as you pedal to the metal in this insane driving adventure. You can live a life as your favourite speed freaks for a day when you step foot in a V8 Ford or Holden and smash the laps in Queensland’s prime racetrack. You will be briefed about the basics of driving such fast machines and also about the track and then later you can pick any car of your choosing. There is no speed limit here, so put your foot on the gas and accelerate from the pits under the proper guidance of professional racecar drivers. Most of them are current or ex-V8 drivers and they will constantly communicate with you to make the most out of your adventure. See how much you can handle in six blistering laps and as a cherry on the icing head to the backseat to enjoy three turbo hot laps driven by a pro!
