Board the sailing vessel Birgitta on a private boat tour with Refuge Bay Charters and see a hidden side of Sydney that’s only accessible by water.
Although less than an hour from the city, you’ll feel worlds away surrounded by the breathtaking scenery of Ku-ring-gai Chase National Park. Relax on deck while your guides take you along the park’s waterways, showcasing the area’s natural wonders.
As you soak in your surroundings, be sure to have your camera ready to capture the serene views and perhaps some of the local wildlife. Those with energy to burn can go for a dip off the boat, disembark to explore the foreshore or enjoy a refreshing swim near a secluded waterfall. Then sit back, wine and dine as you enjoy the peaceful sail back to Bobbin Head.
Refuge Bay Charters is a licensed commercial tour operator with a Parks Eco Pass.
