Sydney tops TripAdvisor’s most ridiculous experiences list

TripAdvisor has released a list of the most luxe experiences ever booked on the site, based how much cash you have to drop to partake.

And surprise! Sydney has topped this list for most expensive experience, with a group tour of Sydney Harbour on a luxury superyacht.

That’s right, our tourism activities are starting to catch up to our obscenely expensive housing prices.

Anyway, here’s the list so you can spend your Tuesday drooling over experiences you’ll probably never be able to afford unless you’re super rich.
