Mr Obama arrived at Sydney Airport at lunchtime on Friday ahead of an evening event at the Art Gallery of NSW hosted by the New Zealand United States Council.
A motorcade of vans, SUVs and more than a dozen police motorbikes, transported Mr Obama from the airport to a hotel in Sydney's CBD.
Not long after, the former US leader and his motorcade were seen visiting the Sydney Opera House.
Mr Turnbull paid a visit to Mr Obama's hotel about an hour later, spending just under two hours inside.
