Overview

Looking for a slice of Aussie sun, sand and surf, scenic cliff side strolls and interesting sea life? Then this tour shouldn’t be missed.

The northern paradise of Sydney, dubbed by locals as ‘Gods country’, presents a tour of dynamic coastal strolls, ocean and city vistas and beautiful beaches and headlands.

Head over the Harbour bridge for a different perspective of Sydney from the lower North Shore places such as Kirribilli, Milsons Point, Mosman and Georges Head - an old fort with incredible views of wider Sydney.

Visit Balmoral Beach, Freshwater, Curl Curl and the famous Shelly to Manly Beach stroll. Enjoy a beachside lunch taking in the Aussie surfing vibe.

Take a scenic cliff side walk at North Head looking for whales, superb fairy wrens and honey eaters.

Look for starfish and sea anemones in glistening rock pools at Long Reef and be surrounded by its otherworldly colourful cliffs with a chance to see some pelicans.

Finish the day with an optional ferry back to Sydney.

City Boat Tours wants to make your searches as relevant as possible. That's why we offer many ways to help you find the right experiences for you.

On some pages, you can select how to sort the results we display and also use filter options to see only those search results that meet your chosen preferences. You'll see explanations of what those sort options mean when you select them.

If you see a Badge of Excellence label, the award is based on average review ratings, share of bookings with a review, and number of bookings through City Boat Tours over a 12-month period.

The importance of any one factor over any other in a sort order varies, and the balance is constantly being reviewed and adjusted. We're always updating our systems and testing new ways to refine and improve your results to make them as relevant as possible to meet your needs.
