Manly was lovely. Have been to Sydney three times now and tried each time to get to Manly. Two previous times it was torrential rain. Finally on the third try we got there. It was worth the wait. The ferry ride was great. Manly teriffic.

we took the ferry and it was approximately 1/2 hour ride..beautiful scenery the whole trip..once in Manly, we shopped til we dropped, then off to the beautiful beach, about a 10 minute walk from ferry terminal..back to ferry terminal and had the best fish & chip of our lives at the restaurant at the terminal..

And even have the luck to cross ways with some... More

They could really do with organising this most popular of ferry trips so it's not so much of a crush! ...sooo many people all wanting to move at once. I felt sorry for those with children in pushchairs. Sunny weekends it's packed. avoid if you have little ones!

Just jump on the Manly ferry and enjoy the views!! Make sure to book a round trip ticket. On the way to Manly, we had a spot at the front of the boat. This was great for photos and sightseeing. On the way back, the weather was not as nice. We opted for an inside seat. Many who had braved... More
