From your Cruise Ship to North Head, Nature and History Walk

**Price includes return ferry from Sydney Circular Quay to Manly Wharf, your guide will meet you either at Circular Quay or at the Overseas Cruise Terminal**

Meet me in Sydney at Circular Quay or by Overseas Cruise Terminal if you are arriving by cruise ship.  From here we jump on the iconic Manly ferry followed by an immersive walk from Manly Wharf up to North Head in Sydney Harbour National Park. Not only is North Head one of the best locations to get that iconic Sydney Harbour photo (Including Sydney Opera House and Sydney Harbour Bridge), but it is also an area of immense history. From the traditional healers of the Gayamagel People to the early colonists, a Quarantine Station, and North Fort a military complex. There is plenty to learn on this walk.

Today, the area is home to the Long-nosed Bandicoot, Flying Fox, Powerful and Barking Owls, and the Eastern Bentwing and Large eared Pied Bats. There are other 23 reptile species, 144 birds, and 430 different plants. We will learn about some of these as we walk.

As one of the best locations to view Humpback Whales during the season there are plenty of memories to be built.

As we descend we will pass a beautiful look out of the Pacific Ocean, walk down into Shelly Beach (home of some of the best snorkeling and diving in Sydney), take in the stunning coastal walk to Manly, and head back to Manly Wharf.

There will be plenty of opportunities for photos along the way and an opportunity to stop for takeaway refreshments at the Bella Vista Cafe or the Boatshed in Shelly Beach.

This walk is approximately 7.5kms, takes 3 hours, and requires a medium/good level of fitness.  The whole tour will take approx 5 hours, allowing for refreshment breaks and ferry transfers.
