What to expect

Your guide collects you from your accommodation early and drives north across the Harbour Bridge, pausing at Georges Heights for sweeping views across Port Jackson. You'll walk Shelley Beach's foreshore near Manly, then spend time at North Head taking in the harbour mouth and city skyline. Mid-tour, your guide serves freshly made sandwiches (chicken, salmon or vegetarian on sourdough) and salad at a scenic vantage point. The afternoon includes a return walk to Barrenjoey Lighthouse through Palm Beach headland, followed by a winding coastal drive to Avalon.
