Highlights

Manly ferry ride

Enjoy a day out on the harbour. Travel from Circular Quay to Manly by ferry and then go for a harbourside walk along the Manly to Spit Scenic Walkway. The 10km walk can take between 3-4.5 hours to complete, depending on how many spots you stop at for a swim or to admire the views. The walkway is well signposted with information boards along the length of the track. Return from Spit Bridge to Manly Wharf by bus.
