Private Tour: Ku-ring-gai, Northern Beaches and Sydney Sightseeing

Your private tour starts with pickup from your hotel in the morning. After introductions, your private guide heads north in the comfortable air-conditioned vehicle. Enjoy a visit to Ku-ring-gai Chase National Park, Australia’s second-oldest national park and a favorite escape for Sydneysiders who delight in viewing the mangrove forests and scenic inlets with turquoise waters.

Pause for morning tea at West Head, and enjoy panoramic views of Pittwater, Barrenjoey Head and lighthouse, and the beaches of the central coast. Follow your guide on a short and easy walk that takes you to a site with Aboriginal rock carvings that were made thousands of years ago by the Guringai people.

Continue by car along the coast to Palm Beach, the northernmost surf beach in Sydney and home to many VIPs. Have a gourmet lunch at Jonah's Restaurant, located on a cliff with great views of the Pacific Ocean and Whale Beach. Afterward, drive through Manly as you go south to Sydney. Stop for photo ops at North Head where you can view the Sydney skyline from across the harbor.

Head into central Sydney to The Rocks, a district that dates to the origins of the colony. See modern shops and restaurants among heritage-listed buildings along the waterfront as you learn about the city’s history.

Traveling with a private guide allows you the flexibility to stay longer at your favorite places. Your tour ends in the early evening when your guide returns you to your hotel.
