8:30 AM – Private Pick-up from Sydney

Your guide will collect you from your Sydney accommodation or cruise terminal in a comfortable, air-conditioned luxury vehicle (Toyota LandCruiser Prado or VW Caravelle, depending on group size). Settle in for a scenic drive north toward the bushland outskirts of the city.

9:30 AM – Wildlife Sanctuary Visit

Arrive at a working wildlife sanctuary situated on 80 acres of protected bushland. This not-for-profit organisation is dedicated to the rescue, rehabilitation, and care of native animals. Accompanied by your guide, enjoy a relaxed walk through the sanctuary where you can meet and learn about kangaroos, wallabies, wombats, koalas, and more. Expect unforgettable photo opportunities and insights into conservation and animal welfare.

11:00 AM – Depart for the Northern Beaches

Continue your journey toward the Northern Beaches, travelling along scenic coastal routes. Your guide will tailor stops based on your interests—whether you’d like to take in panoramic views from coastal lookouts, stroll along quiet beaches, or learn about the region’s Indigenous and settler history.

12:30 PM – Lunch at a Seaside Café or Restaurant

Stop for a delicious lunch at a local favourite, with views over the Pacific Ocean or Pittwater. Choose from fresh, seasonal menus focused on Australian produce. (Lunch is at guest’s expense; your guide handles the booking and can accommodate dietary needs.)

1:30 PM – Scenic Drive Along the Northern Beaches Coastline

After lunch, take a relaxed drive along the iconic Ocean Road. You’ll pass through charming beachside suburbs including Avalon, Narrabeen, and Curl Curl. Enjoy sweeping views from key vantage points—such as North Head, where you can look back over Sydney Harbour and its skyline.

2:30 PM – Arrive in Manly

Conclude your tour in Manly, one of Sydney’s most loved surf towns. Wander the beach promenade, browse local shops, or grab a coffee by the sea. From here, you’ll return to Circular Quay via the iconic Manly Ferry (ticket paid locally), gliding past the Opera House and Harbour Bridge for a scenic end to the day.

Your guide will assist with ferry directions and ensure you’re set for a relaxed ride back to the city. If you prefer return transfer to your hotel instead of taking the ferry, simply let us know when booking *extra*.
