Come on a journey through the Northern Beaches of Sydney with me and discover the serene spots that us locals adore.
Begin with a pick-up by me, from your accommodation in Sydney City or Manly, and be taken by private vehicle to Ku-ring-gai Chase National Park. Here I will take you to some spectacular sights, spot littoral rainforest, secluded bays, and cultural sights. Enjoy a short walk, which can be tailored to your ability, and breathe in the clean air of this stunning National Park. Wildflowers, wallabies, and native birds can be spotted among the unique flora of this National Park.
Even gentle walking makes us hungry, so off we go down to picturesque Church Point, where you will enjoy a delicious lunch with a bottle of wine at Pasadena Sydney.
