Ellie organised the trike tour Sydney beaches for her friend Karen. Karen has been living in Sydney for a while, but she is heading back to Ireland soon. Ellie wanted to give her an experience to remember. Ellie wanted Karen to revisit all her favourite places in Sydney before she left.

Favourite places in Sydney

Craig picked them up from the eastern suburbs. Firstly, they rode past Centennial Park and though Edgecliff, in the east. Secondly, they rode to Mrs Macquarie’s Point, where there are wonderful views west across Sydney Harbour. They look towards the Sydney Opera House and the Sydney Harbour Bridge.

Next, they rode over the Sydney Harbour Bridge. It is a view and an experience we never tire of. However, make sure you look up to see the arches in all their glory. They are wonderful to look at without the roof of a car blocking the view.

First stop was Jeffrey Street Wharf. Of course they had to stop for photos and to admire the gorgeous view. It is a spectacular view across Sydney Harbour towards the Opera House and the CBD. There is also an interesting perspective to the Harbour Bridge.

The Kirribilli Loop

They continued on, doing what we call “The Kirribilli Loop”. This takes us under the north end of the bridge. Pass by the entrance to Luna Park and the North Sydney Olympic Pool.

After that they rode through the northern suburbs of Neutral Bay and Mosman. Continuing down Military road, they rode past the lovely and well known Balmoral Beach. People from all over Sydney come here for a swim and a bite to eat.

Middle Harbour

Next, they rode over the Spit Bridge with it’s lovely views of Middle Harbour. Up into Seaforth for a beautiful view of Middle Harbour. After that they rode to Tania Park, part of Dobroyd Head. Another view we never tire of. We have a fabulous look at Sydney Heads – both north and south!

Eastern suburbs

However, the 2.5 hours was almost up. Craig returned them to Coogee via the beautiful Clontarf. Back across the Bridge and through the eastern suburbs of Woolloomooloo, Kings Cross, Double Bay, Rose Bay, Bondi, Tamara and Bronte.

A fun and memorable experience. In conclusion, this trike tour Sydney beaches was a huge success.

Troll’s grandfather worked on the gang building the Spit Bridge. Therefore, the Spit Bridge has history. It is a bascule bridge opened in 1958 over Middle Harbour. The bridge opens at set times to allow yachts with high masts to pass. The Spit is the site of the Middle Harbour Yacht Club and a marina.

Susan organised the surprise trike ride Sydney for Zamry. We love surprises and are great at organising them! Craig picked Susan and Zamry up from their hotel in the city. They did one of our most popular tours – The Harbour Bridge Ride.

The Rocks

Firstly, they rode down to the Rocks and under the south end of the Sydney Harbour Bridge. They stopped for photos there, it has a great view north to Luna Park. The view also looks east and west along Sydney Harbour.

The Sydney Harbour Bridge

After that, they continued on though the Rocks then up and across the Sydney Harbour Bridge. Next, they rode through North Sydney and down to Jeffrey Street Wharf. Similarly, they stopped once more for some photos.

Kirribilli Loop

The next interesting part of the ride was the Kirribilli Loop. It travels past Jeffrey Street Wharf and behind it is a wonderful view across Sydney Harbour to the Sydney Opera House. Next, they rode under the northern section of the Sydney Harbour Bridge so they could look up and see the underneath.

After that, they rode back across the Bridge onto the final destination being the Sydney Tower Eye. Therefore, they could continue exploring Sydney.

Testimonial

In conclusion, Susan wrote to us: “Thanks so much for the great photos and excellent service. We had so much fun. Also, Big thanks to Craig for being such a nice and friendly person. Do send our regards to him. Thank you so much!”

Most importantly, the surprise trike ride Sydney was a huge success.

Kirribilli is one of Australia’s older suburbs, with the first land grants in the area being granted by the colonial government during the 1790s. A scattering of Georgian and Gothic-revival houses and mansions were built in the 1830s, ’40s and ’50s. Most of these have since been razed. ?

The 50th birthday trike tour was a present from Mark to his wife Arlene. They are having a holiday in Sydney to celebrate. Sydney is very different to Adelaide so they decided a tour would be the most interesting way to see the sights.

They actually decided to do the 3 Bridges ride. This way they saw the beautiful views our major bridges have to offer. The route is also off the beaten track so our passengers saw more than the average visitor to Sydney does.

A thick fog

Craig, our trike rider, picked Arlene and Mark up from their hotel. Firstly, they rode over the Sydney Harbour Bridge. There was a thick fog which made the city feel quite eerie. It was definitely something different to the usual. However, it did not ruin the experience. Although the view was not the usual blue sky and blue water, it was still amazing.

Kirribilli

After that, they stopped at Kirribilli on the north side of the Harbour Bridge. It has wonderful views across Sydney Harbour towards the Sydney Opera House and the CBD. A view we never tire of. In addition, it also has an up-close view of the side and underneath of the bridge.

They continued on through North Sydney and Crows Nest before joining River Road. It is a fun road to ride on. River Road leads to Burns Bay Road which, in turn, leads to another bridge but not one of the main three.

Fig Tree Bridge, Tarban Creek Bridge, Gladesville Bridge

It is the Fig Tree Bridge which opened in 1963 and spans the Lane Cove River. After that bridge, they continued on and crossed the second of the bridges Tarban Creek Bridge. This spans Tarban Creek. Then they got to bridge #2 of the main 3 Bridges, the Gladesville Bridge. It has wonderful views along Parramatta River towards the Harbour Bridge and the city.

This bridge is on the main arterial thoroughfare of Victoria Road. They travelled along for a short while before turning off into the inner west suburb of Drummoyne. Following the shoreline of Iron Cove, which is part of the Parramatta River, they saw some lovely water views. It is part of the 7 km long Bay Run.

ANZAC Bridge

They continued on riding onto the incredible ANZAC Bridge – bridge #3. Similarly, it is also great to see without a roof over your head inhibiting the view. Riding into the city is always interesting, however, time was up so Craig dropped the passengers near Madame Tussuades. Our passengers thought the 50th birthday trike tour was fantastic, a great way to see parts of the city only the locals know about.

In conclusion, the 50th birthday trike tour was a huge success, another “best birthday present ever”.

Dion organised the eastern Sydney trike tour as a fun experience for Jordyn. It sure was fun and so memorable. Craig picked them up from the family accommodation. We do pick up anywhere that suits our passengers.

Oxford Street and the posh eastern suburbs

Firstly they rode up Oxford Street. This is the street where the famous Sydney Mardi Gras parades along. Next they rode through the posh suburbs of Double Bay and Vaucluse. Continuing on, they rode to Watson Bay. It is famous for Doyles Restaurant, which is famous for its seafood.

In addition, right near Watsons Bay is the Gap. There is a beautiful view from the cliffs out to the Tasman Sea.

iconic Bondi Beach

After that, they rode to the iconic Bondi Beach. It is the most famous beach in Sydney, probably Australia, known around the world. Continuing south, they rode past the lovely Bronte Beach. Moreover, Bronte Beach sits on Nelson Bay, surrounded by Bronte Park. Bronte offers scenic cliff-top walking paths south to Coogee.

Next was Centennial Parklands. Interestingly, Centennial Parklands is the name given to a group of three urban parklands. It comprises about 360 hectares (890 acres), the lands encompass Centennial Park, Moore Park and Queen’s Park.

Centennial Park

We rode through Centennial Park. It is a huge and beautiful park with lots of wildlife, horse rides, picnic areas and cafes. However, time was up so it was to the drop off point. 1.5 hours goes so quickly! In conclusion, the eastern Sydney trike tour was a huge hit. In other words, this was a very memorable experience! https://www.trolltours.com.au/product/design-your-own-ride/

The Gap

The Gap is an ocean cliff on the South Head peninsula in eastern Sydney, NSW. The area, which faces the Tasman Sea, is located in the eastern suburb of Watsons Bay, near South Head. Although the cliff is a popular visitor destination, it has an infamy for suicides.

Therese organised this surprise birthday trike tour for her husband. We text and called rather than emailing, just to make sure it was a surprise.

Lord Nelson Hotel the Rocks

It was a huge surprise! Craig picked them up from their home in the eastern suburbs. Firstly they rode through Sydney city to The Rocks. They stopped for a quick beer at the Lord Nelson Hotel. The passengers that is!

Next, they rode over the iconic Sydney Harbour Bridge. Continuing on through North Sydney and the ‘upper class’ suburbs including Mosman.

Balmoral Beach

You really can’t be in the area and not ride past the lovely Balmoral Beach. So they did, it is always worth a look. The Promenade along the Esplanade was completed in 1926 in response to the influx of new visitors travelling by tram. The tram no longer exists.

Middle Harbour

Next, they rode over the Spit Bridge with it’s lovely views of Middle Harbour. Up into Seaforth for a beautiful view of Middle Harbour.

Manly Beach

However, 1.5 hours goes so quickly so Craig took them to Manly Beach. He dropped them off so they could continue celebrating Rob’s birthday. There are plenty of nice restaurants in Manly.

In conclusion, the surprise birthday trike tour was a huge success. It was one of his best birthdays ever, a memorable experience!

Manly is most notable for its beaches which are popular tourist destinations. Manly features a long stretch of sand on the ocean side, that runs from Queenscliff through North Steyne to South Steyne . This is followed by rock pools and sandy beaches called Fairy Bower and Shelly Beach. There are also a number of beaches on the harbour side of the peninsula. Norfolk Island pine trees are symbolic of Manly and are a prominent feature of both the ocean and harbour beaches.
