Overview

This tour combines the sights and food of a forgotten side of Sydney, known as the northern beaches.

The coast north of Sydney is teaming with beaches, and includes several national parks and a part of Sydney harbour, middle harbour, that is often overlooked by visitors.

We will visit Freshwater Beach, Palm Beach and Barrenjoey Headland, Avalon Beach and the North Head sanctuary.

The tour finishes with a dining experience and guests are then dropped off to their accommodation.

Sightseeing takes up four and half hours and 1 hour and half is allocated to dining.

We will provide you with a list of our recommended restaurants that range from high end to mid range. We take great care in recommending restaurants.

If you would like to see some wonderful beaches and headlands, historical Barrenjoey lighthouse, exceptional harbour views from north head and finish with a fine meal on the north side of Sydney this is the tour for you.
