North Head Sanctuary - A nature refuge, bordered by dramatic cliffs, North Head Sanctuary, Manly, is located on the peninsula at the northern entrance to Sydney Harbour.
This place holds significance to the Traditional Owners and Custodians of the land, the Gayamagal people. As you explore the park’s coastal bushland, via dedicated bike tracks, you’ll discover diverse flora and fauna, military fortifications from World War II and signs of the nation’s early quarantine practices. Were it not for the unspoiled harbour views, it would be hard to believe you are only 11km from Sydney’s CBD. - Q Station Manly - History Experience - Sprawled across the hillside on the very edge of Sydney Harbour, the historic Quarantine Station has not only an impressive Sydney Harbour National Park location but also an incredible history behind.
-
International College of Management - The imposing structure dominating the northern Sydney’s beachside suburb’s landscape won world-wide acclaim when it was built by the Catholic Church between 1885 and 1889.
Established as the first National Catholic Seminary in Australia in 1889, Moran House and the Archbishop’s Residence (located on the Southern part of the precinct) was designed as a blend of Neo-Gothic and Romanesque styles.
The stone building is four storeys high with a six-level central belltower and a slate roof. A two-storeyed colonnade flanks the central entrance. - Shelly Beach - A beautiful beach located in Manly, a suburb of Sydney, New South Wales, Australia. It is adjacent to North Head and Fairy Bower. Shelly Beach is a western facing beach on the eastern coast of Australia. Shelly Beach is part of the no take Cabbage Tree Bay Aquatic Reserve.
- Manly Beach - Manly is one of those magic beaches that has something for everyone. It spans 3km, so there’s lots of space to spread your towel on the soft white sand and relax all day. Perfect to cycle alongside it.

Fantastic fun on e-bikes as a family. - We couldn't get e-bikes on the day we visited so I recommend calling up early in the morning to make a reservation. They accommodated us by taking our booking for the following day. Luckily we were able to return because the e-bikes were amazing and we got the chance to ride all over Manly and even spotted an echidna.

Exercise in sun - Superb staff. Changed day for us as weather wasn’t great on original booked day.
Unfortunately my e-bike battery was playing up but no biggy as hubby a biker so he took mine and I had his e-bike. Refunded on our return without even asking.
Will be back.
Lovely thing to do on a sunny day.

Spontaneous Bike Tour at Manly - This was a great experience!! We only had a few hours and the beach weather wasn’t the greatest. We swung in, got four bikes, and saw the whole island. Super friendly staff! I would highly recommend this!

Leisurely ride around the beaches and headlands of Manly - Really easy transaction getting the bike. Shop is just across the road from the ferry. Person serving us was really helpful and made sure we were well sorted before we took off on our self ride tour. Highly recommend.

Would not recommend any part of the experience - The bikes worked, but they were rather craptastic. They shifted very hard/slow/poorly. My seat kept slipping lower despite clamping the seatpost quite firmly. The bikes would not assist, but then would assist way too much. My controller kept shutting off during brief stops, and then wouldn't assist when I needed it. Yes, the bikes got us from point A to point B, they were functional, but personally I was happier after I returned it and could just walk around. I didn't particularly enjoy the ride either. It wasn't even that busy and it was just a lot of maneuvering around people. Didn't get to enjoy the place or the scenery. Maybe I just had bad luck, but I would not recommend any part of the experience.

Top - We do not really enjoy this bike tour. no bike path. No indication to go to Manly National Park. Little information provided to help us. There's a bus going around the strategic points to be prioritized. Rentals are still expensive.
