Manly Beach Ferry & Walking Tour

Discover Sydney Harbour and enjoy a swim at iconic Manly Beach on this fascinating private half day ferry and walking tour.

Join me to explore stunning views, maritime history, surfing culture and Mother Nature's perfect waves.

Our journey begins at Circular Quay,  where we board one of Sydney's famous ferries to Manly.

As we cruise across Sydney Harbour -the world’s biggest natural harbour - you’ll enjoy spectacular views of Sydney Opera House, Sydney Harbour Bridge, and Fort Denison. 

Along the way, I’ll share stories of Indigenous life on the water, early colonial history, and the marine world - sharks, whales, and countless other sea creatures.

After a 25-minute ferry ride, we arrive in Manly, where we explore its transformation from Indigenous land to one of Sydney’s most beloved seaside destinations.

We’ll stroll through the village and head to Manly Beach for a swim in the ocean. 

We’ll also stop at a local café for a drink and a bite to eat.

"Philip’s your guy if you want the perfect mix of informative and fun. On the tours to the Rocks and the Manly Beach we saw the sights, we enjoyed the ocean, and we got a story about the place. In the few hours with Philip we learned more about the history of Sydney and Australia than we did in all the rest of our trip, adding depth to our understanding of this fascinating corner of the world. I can only recommend him as a knowledgeable, witty, well organised and professional guide."
