North Head Sanctuary is a National Park right in Manly. This destination offers the grandest view in the city that spans over the entire region of Sydney. It is staggering. The area is also a perfect example of the nature that would have covered the city prior to British settlement.
En route to your hotel, there are two options; we can take the Manly Ferry which will take us directly into the city. The ferry ride is so scenic and gives a different perspective of the city as we cruise the Sydney Harbour, this can sometimes be a good alternative to avoid traffic. The second is to be dropped back to your hotel in the vehicle. The choice is yours! Just ask us if you are unsure.
