There\u2019s no doubt strolling through Sydney<\/a> is a stunning experience and much of the city\u2019s scenery can also be admired from behind the wheel, but walking and driving are so \u201cbeen there, done that\u201d. Insiders know that the best way to experience the city\u2019s many treasures is on two wheels. Whether you\u2019re visiting the Harbour City for the very first time or you\u2019re a native who\u2019s simply never pedalled through town, here are five of the coolest ways to see the sights on Sydney bike tours.<\/p>\n

Take the Scenic Route<\/h2>\n

Coast along the coast during the epic Manly Beach Cycling Tour and Ferry Cruise<\/a>. Board a ferry from The Rocks, where you\u2019ll \u201cwave\u201d hello to seals and penguins as you cross Sydney Harbour. At Manly Beach, hop on a bike and follow your guide to North Head, taking in incredible views of Sydney\u2019s skyline. Let gravity do the work as you glide down the coastal cliffs, then have a relaxing ferry ride past the Opera House and Fort Denison. Now those are some snaps your mum will love.<\/p>\n

Cross a Famous Landmark<\/h2>\n

You\u2019ve seen it, and maybe you\u2019ve even driven across it, but have you ever cycled over it? The Sydney Harbour Bridge Bike Tour<\/a> can help you cross that feat off your bucket list. Start at The Rocks and pass the Opera House before making your way over the world\u2019s largest steel-arch bridge. Try not to get too distracted by the awesome views of the Royal Botanic Gardens and downtown! On the north shore, zip around Kirribilli and see the Governor\u2019s House. And if feeling the wind in your hair isn\u2019t the only fulfilment you need, no worries \u2013 you\u2019ll stop for lunch, too.<\/p>\n

See All the Top Spots<\/h2>\n

The City Bike Tour<\/a> has it all. See the sails of the Opera House up close, then leave the CBD behind as you cross the Harbour Bridge. Circle back to the city and take a quick cruise through Darling Harbour, Hyde Park, and the Royal Botanic Gardens. Your tour guide will regale you with tales of lesser-known landmarks like Chinatown and the ANZAC War Memorial. Afterwards, stick around for a tour of the Opera House to see the side most tourists \u2013 and locals \u2013 only dream of.<\/p>\n

Toast to Adventure<\/h2>\n

If you like a good pint after pedalling, the Bicycle Sightseeing Tour with a Pub Stop<\/a> is for you. Learn the inside story behind all the local landmarks as you bike past historical buildings along The Rocks\u2019 palm-lined roads. Take to Observatory Hill (don\u2019t worry, it\u2019s an easy ride), followed by a leisurely descent to Darling Harbour and a toast to your achievements at one of Hyde Park\u2019s pubs. You\u2019ve earned it.<\/p>\n

Do Your Own Thing<\/h2>\n

Chart your own course on the Self-Guided Hybrid Bike Tour<\/a> in and around Manly Beach. Hop atop a hybrid bike and discover the pristine sands of Shelly and Spring Cove as you explore the trails of Sydney Harbour National Park. Cruise past the National Artillery Museum while gaining a whole new perspective of Sydney\u2019s streets.<\/p>\n

There\u2019s nothing quite like the wind on your face and the pavement flying by beneath your wheels while you check out Sydney\u2019s awesome landmarks. Biking around Sydney is an unforgettable experience every Australian should undertake at least once in their lives \u2013 and now is your chance. See you there!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
