This was a private tour. James our guide was amazing. He had a great knowledge of rhe Northern Beaches area. The tour was so relaxing and James would stop explain the area and give us great opurtunity to take photos. Highlight was visiting Summer Bay.
Thank you Mario for your fantastic review. I am delighted that James looked after you so well and that you enjoyed the gorgeous Northern Beaches and Ku-ring-gai :) Mike
This tour provided a great overview of the north east part of Sydney, including a visit to the Ku-ring-gai wildlife park / forest and stops at a number of beautiful beaches and inlets along the east coast, including Manly Beach, with spectacular views. Mike (the guide / driver) did a great job providing a lot of information throughout the tour about the stops, wildlife, and Sydney / Australia. The tour completes at Manly Beach, from where we took a ferry back to Sydney (~25 min. ride), which provided very nice views of the harbour and Sydney. This tour was a great way to get away from the downtown core Sydney area / common tourist sights, and to see the north / east part of the city and beautiful forest and coastal towns.
Thank you for this fantastic review of your tour of the amazing Northern Beaches and Ku-ring-gai :) I am delighted you loved the scenic beauty of this very special part of Sydney. Mike
When in Sydney take time to get out of the CBD and experience the glorious Northern Beaches with some of Australia’s best beach’s, the stunning Kuring-gai National Park and Aboriginal sites. A massive thank you to Ian, our guide for the day, who was fantastic - I was travelling with my aged parents on what will likely be their last trip to Australia, & Ian tailored the trip to our interests and pace, and being a local, was a wealth of knowledge and knew all the hidden gems to truly showcase this stunning area that offers something for everyone - culture, beaches, wildlife, scenery, walks/hikes, sports/adventure, shops, cafes, restaurants etc. etc. - I can’t wait to return and spend more time exploring this beautiful region of Sydney.
Thank you for amazing review. I am delighted that you loved the beautiful Northern Beaches, and that Ian looked after you so well. He is a passionate local guide for sure :) Mike
Our experience was absolutely fantastic! Me and my mom were the only one that sight up that day, so it ended up being a private tour — which made the experience even more special. Our guide, Mike, was outstanding: knowledgeable, friendly, and clearly passionate about the area. The northern beaches of Sydney are breathtaking, every stop had something unique to offer. Thanks to Mike, we discovered places we never would have found on our own. This tour gave us a whole new appreciation for Sydney’s stunning coastline. I highly recommend it to anyone visiting the area — it’s truly one of the highlights of our trip.

Bula vinaka, Kia ora, we really enjoyed this tour and highly recommend it. Mike is an awesome tour guide, has so much knowledge of all the areas, and is so easy to chat with. We were looking forward to taking a few pix of Palm Beach /Summer Bay (yes Home & Away fans😊) and it was such a cool surprise that they were filming a couple of scenes when we got there. Was super exciting to get a photo with John Palmer (Shane Withington) then when leaving Mike spotted Alf Stewart (Ray Meagher) and we got a pic taken with him too. Made our day 😊. Vinaka vakalevu (thankyou very much) Mike for the amazing tour.
Thank you Elizabeth for this amazing review. I am so happy you got to meet your Home & Away heroes...especially the ever charming 'Alf' :) It was a pleasure to chat with you all and show you my favourite Northern Beaches highlights. Mike
