“Amazing day out for anyone interested in the natural beauty of WA. Our guide did an amazing job explaining everything, from the formation of sand dunes to the pinnacle desert. The stargazing experience was fantastic, too. We’ve never seen a sky so clear. Again, accompanied by explanations from the tour guide. Highly recommend.”

Breathtaking Manly Beach Bicycle and Sunset Cruise Tour

7.Breathtaking Manly Beach Bicycle and Sunset Cruise Tour

★★★★★★★★★★4.8 · 16 reviews · 4 hours · from $119Top rated

Ride from The Rocks by ferry to Manly, then cycle the beach, parks, and North Head with guides such as Dylan, Jay, or Dillan. You’ll see coastal cliffs, Sydney’s skyline, and perhaps whales or little penguins before cruising back beneath the Opera House and Harbour Bridge at sunset. Expect one serious hill and a four-hour outing.

“We had an amazing time. Jay our guide was very knowledgeable and friendly so we learned so much. The bikes were absolutely fantastic. Definitely upgrade to electric. We were able to see so much. Maybe a short stop for one drink before getting on the ferry back!! Thank you.”
