About This Activity

This guided morning hike starts at the Spit Bridge and follows the Manly Scenic Walkway through Sydney Harbour National Park to Manly Beach. The 10km trail passes secluded beaches, Aboriginal rock engraving sites, and dense coastal bush, with harbour views opening up at multiple lookout points. Guides explain local ecology, First Nations history, and the area's colonial past. After the walk, explore Manly independently before taking the ferry back past the Opera House and Harbour Bridge. From around A$85 per adult.

Seasonal note: Best spring/autumn (comfortable walking temps)
