See impressive views in the KU-RING-GAI NATIONAL PARK with its ancient ABORIGINAL SITES and extensive waterways. Visit PALM BEACH the setting for TV’s famous ‘HOME & AWAY’, plus experience amazing lookouts such as at The Spit, West Head, Long Reef, and North Head.

Your day trip to the Northern Beaches begins with morning pickup at your centrally located Sydney hotel (or pre-arranged pickup point e.g. Manly Wharf or The Rocks). Board your NEW AIR-CONDITIONED MINI-VAN for the scenic drive to Ku-ring-gai Chase. This is where we learn about the local Aboriginal Culture, whilst bush walking to ancient cave art, & sacred rock engraving sites. Then head over to Palm Beach, home to the rich and famous, where we will take a tour around the area’s many mansions. Plus visiting all the vital Home & Away locations, such as the SUMMER BAY Surf Club, Alf’s Bait Shop, the Palm Beach Pier and the Lighthouse. Afterward, enjoy an included hot lunch with a choice of six delicious dishes, with scenic views over PITTWATER from the balcony at Palm Beach Golf Club. Next, we travel to Narrabeen Beach for a chance to view one of the BEST SURFING SPOTS in Sydney. Enjoy SUPERB PHOTO OPPORTUNITIES from Long Reef Headland with its 70 Kilometres of coastline views, where you may even be lucky enough to see a whale. Then get away from the crowds and stroll the cliffs along the Curl Curl Boardwalk . Stop to soak up spectacular views of famous Freshwater Beach, which is where legendary Hawaiian surfer Duke Kahanamoku first introduced surfing to Australia. Say farewell to Northern Beaches at our tours last stop NORTH HEAD, with a bush walk in the National Park, which will reveal a breathtaking view of the entrance to SYDNEY HARBOUR. Wrap up your journey with a FERRY CRUISE on the iconic Manly Ferry. Sail past Sydney Harbours entrance between North and South Heads.

Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.

Mike was an outstanding guide, knowledgable in plants and nature, as well as aboriginal history and art. It was just two of us, but he did not spare any effort to show us everything, from nature and aboriginal art to beaches and neighborhoods providing true insight into community. We definitely enjoyed it, it was well worth our time.

We spent a full and entertaining day trip with Mike - a really nice lad. We visited several of the well known beaches and coastal towns as well as the local national park. The highlight was seeing the Australian birds and animals and getting Mike's knowledge of the history of the area. All in all a grand day out- excellent value for money and highly recommended.

Mike was an awesome tour guide. I was a little nervous about spending so much on a day tour...but this tour was worth every cent. The places you visit are spectacularly beautiful and Mike is happy to tailor what you do to your interests. The lunch included had good choices and generous serves and in a lovely location. Its really a tour you can relax on and Mike takes care of everything... even lost property....I left my phone charger on his bus and he kindly mailed it back to me in Perth. I had no idea Sydney had so much natural beauty it is really stunning. Last year I did a day tour of the Amalfi coast in Italy...I found this tour even more breathtaking. Deborah

I travelled with the group of 11 people. We booked the private bus to go from/to Airport. We used the service 3 times and all of them were amazing. We were picked up by Mike and his Dad who were very amazingly punctual and professional. The van was clean and comfortable enough. The price-wise, I found it the lowest among other providers. I totally recommend you all to use Go beyond tours

This tour was excellent. Michael picked me up at my hotel in a comfortable van. He was very good driver and tour guide. We saw many beautiful views and Mike answered any and all questions. He is very friendly and knowledgeable. Lunch was particularly good. I would recommend this tour for anyone above age 12. Very good value as well.

Communicating with Mike before the trip was easy; he picked us up on time. Mike was full of knowledge and stories that could not be found in books and was happy to share them. Mike accompanied the trip with continuous guidance and explanations; it was always clear where we would get to and where we were. The route was filled with amazing views of bays and fascinating places and stories. I especially loved the Bible plant garden and the aboriginal engravings that Mike showed us. I highly recommend taking this trip.

Cliffs and waterfalls and forests and food…a big thank you to Mike for driving us to Australia’s Blue Mountains. Mike also guided us down to Wentworth Falls and led us to unique shops in and around Katoomba. He also included a quick drive to Parramatta river, which we were curious about. We had a great time talking to him about Australia & Australians, and will surely seek his help again if we decide to visit other magical places in this beautiful country. Thank you, Mike!

Interesting and fun trip with Mike. I recommend this if you want a taste of a National Park and some great views of the Northern beaches and coastline. In addition there were some great facts and fun diversions such as a Bible garden and watching Home and Away being filmed!

Booked 3 tours with Northern Beaches Tour + Blue Mountains + South Coast & Southern Highlands.
Pre-Booking: Mr Bryant responded promptly to email inquiries and was able to fine tune the plans to our needs. He gave clear and direct answers without hidden info. Also able to give good discounts on multiple tours.

He is also honest to let us know if he do not know the answers to our questions. Brought us to nice relaxing lunch locations, take care of our immediate needs, very stable driver and always a good chat with him.
