Manly and more private tour

About this tour

This six-hour private tour threads together Sydney's most rewarding coastal stretches and harbour views without the crowds. You'll start at Bradleys Head exploring disused military installations, move through Georges Heights for panoramic vistas, then venture to Balmoral and Manly beaches with a detour to sheltered Shelley Beach via an aquatic reserve. After lunch, North Head's bushland offers sweeping perspectives across the harbour, followed by exploration of quieter northern beaches and the revitalised Barangaroo Reserve on the return journey.

Highlights

• Bradleys Head military ruins and bushland setting
• Gunners Barracks and sweeping harbour panorama
• Shelley Beach walk through aquatic reserve
• North Head's bush and coastal views
• Barangaroo Reserve's contemporary urban renewal

What to expect

Lunch is included and factored into the pace, allowing time to absorb each location without rush.
