Why visit?
This small harbour island is known for its historic setting and picnic appeal. Unlike a standard city wharf, island visits may require separate access arrangements, permission and a suitable landing location.
Arranging your transfer
If you are arranging an approved visit, tell us your preferred departure wharf, date, passenger numbers and any event requirements. We can discuss whether an appropriate transfer is possible and what must be confirmed before departure.
Rodd Island for picnics and events
Rodd Island is a small harbour island in Iron Cove, west of the Harbour Bridge. Historic buildings and sheltered picnic grounds make it a popular setting for family visits and organised functions. Its history includes late-nineteenth-century biological research associated with Louis Pasteur. NSW National Parks manages island entry and venue bookings. Private watercraft may use the designated landing point for pickup and drop-off, but must not remain moored at the wharf.
