Sydney: North Head Private Hiking Tour with Transfer – Sydney, Australia

EXPERIENCE:

Breathe in the fresh ocean air as you hike along one of Sydney’s easiest, but most rewarding walking tracks. Enjoy an immersive journey of discovery in North Head Manly on a private tour. Learn about the local ecosystem and heritage, and admire privileged views of the coast.

Get picked up from your chosen location in the city and head over to Manly’s Shelly Beach to begin your trek. Stop for an Acknowledgement of Country, paying your respects to the Traditional Custodians of the area, the Gayemagal people. Proceed north to North Head Reserve.

Along the walk, pass many beautiful sights of the ocean across the trees, see ancient rock formations, and observe unique flora and fauna. Listen to insightful commentary and occasionally take a minute or two to walk in silence and take in all of the sights and sounds.

Continue to Fairfax Lookout for a spectacular view of Sydney Harbour and the city. Hear about the history of the area and Aboriginal culture. Pass through The Barracks at the former School of Artillery and North Fort, exploring the reason for the construction and its use during WWII.
