Patryk 25.01.20 – north shore Harley tour

Our passenger was half of a young Polish couple. They are in Australia on a working holiday. Patryk was so excited about doing the north shore Harley tour. It was postponed a couple of times due to the weather (smoke or rain) but finally the time came.

Sydney Harbour Bridge

Our Harley rider Phil picked Patryk up from their home in the inner suburbs of Sydney. Firstly, they rode over the Sydney Harbour Bridge. Driving over it is an experience with a view that we never ever tire of. We always tell our passengers to look up and enjoy the unique view. The rivets are so interesting and the arch is so iconic.

Secondly, they stopped at Jeffery Street Wharf for photos. From here, the views across Sydney Harbour towards the Sydney Opera House and the CBD are magnificent. In addition, it also has a up-close view of the side and underneath of the bridge.

The Kirribilli Loop

They rode under the north side of the bridge and continued on their tour. The underside of the northern end of the SHB – Sydney Harbour Bridge – is very interesting.

The Kirribilli Loop was finished by riding past Luna Park and the North Sydney Olympic Pool. They continued on through the lower north shore suburbs of Cremorne, Mosman, past Taronga Park Zoo to Bradleys Head. Make sure you look for the koalas eating or sleeping in the gum trees.

Bradleys Head and Balmoral Beach

Similarly, Bradleys Head has wonderful views across Sydney Harbour to the Sydney Opera House, Harbour Bridge and the CBD.

Continuing on, they rode past the lovely posh Balmoral Beach. However, the 1.5 hours was almost up. So, Phil turned around and they drove a different route back into Sydney. They rode through the city and back home.

In conclusion, the north shore Harley tour was a great experience:

Judy + Peter 24.01.20 – northern and eastern tour

From the UK, our passengers wanted to do something special while in Sydney. Yes, we can do special! We organised the northern and eastern tour of Sydney. This meant we took them to the lower north shore, some of the northern beaches, then back across the bridge to the eastern suburbs.

Because of the fires, Judy and Peter didn’t know if we were still doing tours. Yes we are, all businesses in Sydney are still open and plying their trade.

Iconic Sydney Harbour Bridge

Firstly, Craig picked them up from their hotel in The Rocks. They rode through the city and over the iconic Sydney Harbour Bridge. We always tell our passengers to look up and enjoy the unique view. The rivets are so interesting and the arch is so iconic.

Kirribilli House and Admiralty House

Next, after riding across the Harbour Bridge was riding past Kirribilli House and Admiralty House. Kirribilli House is the secondary official residence of the Prime Minister of Australia. Admiralty House is the Sydney official residence of the Governor-General of Australia.

Kirribilli

After that, they rode around the corner to Jeffrey Street Wharf. From here, the views across Sydney Harbour towards the Sydney Opera House and the CBD are magnificent. In addition, it also has an up-close view of the side and underneath of the bridge. They stopped for photos and even though it is cloudy with no blue sky, it is still amazing to see.

Middle Harbour

They continued on through the lower north shore suburbs of Cremorne, Mosman, past Taronga Park Zoo to Bradleys Head. Make sure you look for the koalas eating or sleeping in the gum trees. Bradleys Head has wonderful views across Sydney Harbour to the Sydney Opera House, Harbour Bridge and the CBD.

Continuing on, they rode past the lovely posh Balmoral Beach. Crossing the Spit Bridge is always fun, with lovely views of Middle Harbour and hundreds of yachts. Riding further up the hill they rode into Seaforth.

Dobroyd Headland

Then it was to Tania Park at Dobroyd Headland. The views here are wonderful across Sydney Harbour towards both North and South Heads and out towards the South Pacific Ocean. They stopped for photos and a look and stretch.

Manly Beach

From there, it was a short ride into Manly. Manly Beach is another iconic Aussie beach so they rode past it and up to Queenscliff. So, they saw quite a lot of the lower north shore area. However, it is the northern and eastern tour so now it was time to turn around and explore the eastern beaches of Sydney.

Eastern Suburbs

They rode back a mostly different route and back across the Sydney Harbour Bridge. Then it was past the Art Gallery of NSW to Mrs Macquarie’s Point. Yet more beautiful views, this time looking west towards the Opera House and the Harbour Bridge.

Finger Wharf

Then it was past Finger Wharf and the iconic Harry’s Cafe De Wheels in Woolloomooloo. Riding up the hill took them into the infamous Kings Cross, it is very interesting to ride through there!

Watsons Bay and the Gap

Continuing on, they rode through the inner eastern suburbs of Rushcutters Bay, Double Bay, Rose Bay and Vaucluse. This route led to Watsons Bay, home of a well known seafood restaurant. Not far from here is the Gap. The Gap is an ocean cliff on the South Head peninsula in eastern Sydney. Although the cliff is a popular visitor destination, it has an infamy for suicides.

However, the 2.5 hours was almost up. So Craig rode back down Old South Head Road and into Bondi. They rode past Bondi Beach before Craig dropped them at Bondi Icebergs for lunch. In conclusion, the northern and eastern tour was a big success, as you can see by their smiles.

French Group 22.01.20 – Harley trike Sydney tour

Through a tour agent, we organised this Harley trike Sydney tour for a French group of tourists. They are in our wonderful country of Australia for a holiday and a look around. What better way to see the sights and sounds than a Harley and trike tour around Sydney!

There were 14 people in the group, so we organised 6 trikes and 2 Harleys. We gave a few options for a route that would take 3 hours. They chose one that suited their taste.

Watsons Bay

Pick up was after the passenger’s lunch at a seafood restaurant at Watsons Bay. After all the passengers were instructed in safety and what to do on the Harleys and trikes, such as where to hold on, they set off.

Firstly they rode down the peninsula, along Old South Head Road. We didn’t stop at The Gap as we usually would, they’d had a look before lunch. So the first stop was just not far from the restaurant. It is a very picturesque area and you’ll get a great view of North Head.

Bondi and Bronte Beaches

It was requested we ride to Bondi Beach and Bronte Beach. Second stop, was the famous Bondi Beach. The beach is seriously nice and we usually stop near the lifeguard station, made famous by the TV series “Bondi Rescue”. Next, they continued south past the lovely Tamarama Beach and Bronte Beach.

Paddington

Another request was to ride through Paddington. Someone had heard it was a nice place to see and it is, there are lots of quaint buildings. We agree, it is a lovely, older area of Sydney.

After that they rode past the Art Gallery of NSW. This leads to Mrs Macquarie’s Point which has beautiful views across Sydney Harbour to the Sydney Opera House and the Sydney Harbour Bridge.

Sydney Harbour Bridge

Travelling through the city led them to the iconic Sydney Harbour Bridge. Driving over it is an experience with a view that we never ever tire of. We always tell our passengers to look up and enjoy the unique view. The rivets are so interesting and the arch is so iconic.

Blues Point Reserve

After riding off the Harbour Bridge, they rode to Blues Point Reserve. This is another area where the views across Sydney Harbour towards the Sydney Opera House and the CBD are magnificent. Also, there is a lovely view of Luna Park.

They continued riding 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 – an extra!

The Fig Tree Bridge opened in 1963 and spans the Lane Cove River. They continued on and crossed the second of the bridges Tarban Creek Bridge. This spans Tarban Creek. Then they rode onto the second of the main 3 Bridges, the Gladesville Bridge. Similarly, it has wonderful views along Parramatta River towards the Harbour Bridge and the city.

Gladesville Bridge

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. They followed the shoreline of Iron Cove which is part of the Parramatta River. It is also 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. Our Harley and trike riders dropped the passengers at a wine bar in a small inner-city suburb. Here, they could continue their exploration of Sydney and Australian wines.

In conclusion, our passengers thought the Harley trike Sydney tour was fantastic, a great way to see parts of the city only the locals know about.

Blues Point Reserve and Kirribilli Loop

First stop was Blues Point Reserve at McMahons Point. The view is wonderful looking across Sydney Harbour towards the iconic Sydney Opera House and the CBD.

Next, they rode the Kirribilli Loop. This also has wonderful views looking across Sydney Harbour, just from a different angle. On the Loop, you will see the underside of the northern end of the SHB – Sydney Harbour Bridge. They finished the loop by riding past Luna Park and the North Sydney Olympic Pool.

Blues Point Reserve

Pre-check tour with a combination of two tours

Vicky was checking out whether it was worth taking the rest of the family on a tour. It was! Vicky contacted us and organised two trikes. We took her and her family members on a two and half hour tour.

The 3 Bridges and the Eastern Panorama tours combined

The tour we took the family on, was a combination of our two most popular tours. The 3 Bridges and the Eastern Panorama. 2.5 hours is perfect to join the two tours – to see and experience the best of Sydney.

Then the next tour started:

Bondi Beach

Sydney’s ocean beaches are usually divided into the Northern Beaches, located north of the entrance to Sydney Harbour and the southern beaches which are in the eastern suburbs and Cronulla area. Manly has eight beaches that range from the large 1.6 km Ocean Beach to the tiny Fairy Bower Beach.

Hence the reason Sydney’s ocean beaches are internationally renowned – they are all beautiful, clean, sandy with clear clean water! Oh, good swimming and surfing as well.
