Check in Details: ###Getting There:
The best way to get there if you're coming from Sydney City is by getting the ferry from Circular Quay (amazing views of the Opera House and Harbour Bridge — prepare the camera for the ‘postcard’ photos 📸 ).

Once you arrive at Manly Wharf, walk towards the beach through The Corso (an aisle full of life, the centre of Manly Beach). When you face the beach, go to your right side towards Shelly Beach — a beautiful coastal walk (around 20 min walking).

It’s a stunning view! Allow 30 minutes for an enjoyable walk and photo clicks 😉

• Wetsuit! Water temperature in the bay varies between 14–25°C.

• Water bottle

• Sunscreen (avoid applying directly on your face within 1 hour before the tour)

• Cash or card if you’d like to purchase underwater photos on the spot

• Lots of energy to spend! 😃

Disclaimers: All tours are weather-dependent. Ocean conditions at Shelly Beach/Cabbage Tree Bay can change quickly; bookings may be rescheduled or cancelled for safety. We’ll contact you if this happens.

Our cut-off time is 15 minutes, which means we’re heading to the water, and unfortunately late guests will not be able to join. Please be on time.

Usually, we (instructors) and guests leave everything at the beach, as it’s super safe, although we cannot be responsible for belongings.
