The ferry trip from the Circular Quay to Manly was a last minute decision. Nevertheless we were so happy we made the decision bcos Manly was really beautiful. We hired the bikes (a cruiser and a MTB with a child seat) from Bike Hire for just 1 hr as 1 hr was all we got in Manly before taking the... More

My wife and I were there from Nashville, Tennessee, USA around March 16th. The highlight of our trip to Sydney was the day we spent at Manly and having great bikes to explore on! The guy at the desk was very cool, very helpful and got us two good working machines to cruise the area in. It was the most... More

Manly was a wonderful place to visit and bike. We rented the bikes only for an hour and pretty well saw the whole beach area and the downtown. Renting for 2 hours would have cost about the same as for the full day which seemed a little harsh. The store should consider somewhat better pricing for those 2 hour renters.

It was a last minute decision...but an awesome one! Had such a good time, found and rented the bikes with no problem, the guy at the store was more than happy (and patient) taking photos (as girls do) with the beach cruisers (which i loved) Had no problem with the map, went off the beaten track a few times &...

Manly was a wonderful place to visit and bike. The biggest problem, the map at the Bike Tours business wasn't detailed enough. Didn't discover a detailed map of Manly until after the day was over. So, be sure and stop at the Visitor Center right by the ferry, to pick up a free map of Manly, it will be great... More

The location is very convenient to the ferry terminal, the bicycles well maintained, so who wouldn't want to see this great location up close and personal via cycling? Traffic in Manly is somewhat problematic however the surfing competition event probably didn't help much in that regard. Regardless, I still completed the three legs without incident (not the mountain bike portion).... More

We rented a tandem bike and off we went. We took the bike trails along the beach and explored some areas off of the beatten path and bus tours. The service was great and it was a very enjoyable experience. Caution, be aware of the pedestrians, they seem to have forgotten that they were sharing the path with bikes, which... More

My trip to Sydney had all the "touristy" stuffs crossed out. Did not think much of Manly ferry ride, it sounded like a great way to see the Sydney Opera House from the sea/harbour. The ferry ride was pretty standard, and we thought of making a quick return trip. But Manly was too cute to give it a miss. Just... More

We used to live in Manly, and it can be tiring to walk everyone for young kids. We didn't have their bikes this time, but found that Manly bike tours had everything from bikes with training wheels, to the trailer on the adult bike, to the pre-teen size bike. There are a lot of places to bike in the area,... More
