Hotel or port pickup included.

What to expect

You'll start with pickups from your hotel or cruise port, then head north along the Pacific Highway to the Northern Beaches. Expect beach stops at Narrabeen and Palm Beach where you can stretch your legs and take in the sand and crowds. The guide points out coastal features from The Spit and Long Reef—good photo ops if conditions are clear. Mid-tour, you shift inland into Ku-ring-gai Chase National Park, where the landscape changes to bushland and Aboriginal sites. This is quieter, shadier walking ground. The day finishes with a passenger ferry ride from Manly Wharf back to Circular Quay, giving you views of the harbour and headlands from the water. All transport is by minivan with water provided.
