Best Tours in New South Wales

"Clovelly is different from typical Sydney beaches, because one of its main appeals is not the light tan sand luring its visitors close, but rather the large promenades on either side of the water that you can sunbathe on. It’s intimate, small and you can easily spend a few hours rotating from the sun to the sea, especially since there is so much sunbathing real estate right by the water. Pack a snorkel too, the cove is known for hosting all types of sea life like gropers, octopodes, rays and more."

"For snorkellers looking to explore a vibrant and lively underwater world, make your way to Clovelly Beach. This tranquil stretch of the bay is home to a host of marine life such as octopus, rays and a Blue Groper that the locals have affectionately nicknamed ‘Bluey’. Back on dry land, large smooth rocks and concrete promenades provide a place for sunbathers to soak up to the sun."

"Clovelly Beach is another amazing snorkelling spot right in Sydney. The long, sheltered bay makes this spot perfect for exploring the underwater life, or just swimming a few laps in the ocean in the morning. Watch out for Bluey, the famous resident Blue Groper…."

"Located just a short distance from the popular Bondi Beach, but refreshingly far from the crowds, Tamarama Beach is a secluded spot that encompasses 80m of breathtaking shoreline. With strong currents and a left-hand reef break, this panoramic beach is a favourite of surfers and locals. Nicknamed ‘Glamarama’ back in the 1980’s, this beach became known for attracting beautiful, glamorous visitors to its narrow, luxurious stretch of sand."

"Tamarama Beach is a prime spot for getting away from the mega-crowds of Bondi while still staying close to all the city’s action—something that’s well-advised in today’s world. Here, you can throw a towel down on the light tan sand, go for a swim and surf the popular left-hand reef break. It has a truly local feel to it, attracting Sydney’s residents instead of solely backpackers and tourists like many of the city’s other beaches."

"The Rotunda at Balmoral Beach overlooks the bay and Rocky Point Island, and the beach itself has a rich history being a significant place in the life of Captain John Edwards. The Rotunda itself was built in the 1930’s as a concert venue through the 1930s and 1940s, making the place a great wedding ceremony venue for people who love both music and history."

"To finally get to Balmoral Beach, simply cross Balmoral Park and the car park on the other side. Balmoral Beach is one of the most popular family-friendly beaches in Sydney, and once you arrive there, it’s not hard to see why it’s such a popular spot. The water at the beach is typically very calm, perfect for a relaxing swim."

"If you’re after sweet or savoury treats that are 100% free of gluten then you’ve come to the right place!. Imperial is truly Australia's largest gluten-free bakery - with warm banana bread, muffins, cookies, cakes and donuts to boot!. All the breads are made daily and owner Joseph Maroun makes sure that they contain absolutely zero preservatives."

"Spots in the Inner West might not be first on your hit-list when you're looking for an outdoor dining locale, but Acre's sprawling urban farm set-up makes it well-deserving of a place on this list. With big, shady umbrellas to loll under and a colourful bounty of dishes – from baked fish to sour cherry cheesecake to the classic Acre salad – it's a popular, relaxed choice for the whole family."

"The Henson is a chilled little neighbourhood spot, perfect for an evening meal or afternoon lunch with the family. Boasting a gorgeous open-air back garden and a chic courtyard for sunnier days, as well as a simple and safe play area, both adults and children will be seduced by The Henson. A nod to its locale (Marrickville), the venue is very on-trend and a bit grungy, but adults will be able to relax and let the wee ones play about in its safe and enclosed dining and play area."

"A bit further out in Sydney’s inner west, this joint shouldn’t be missed when you are in the area. The Henson is a quiet pub with a local feel serving great craft beer from nearby breweries, a seasonal wine menu and delicious pub grub. The Henson created their menu using quality ingredients and reputable sources, using free range, organic, hormone and chemical free meat & poultry & sustainable seafood."

"The Henson is an incredible, community-minded restaurant in Marrickville; one of the trendiest and art-centered neighborhoods in Sydney. This restaurant is fun for kids, just as much as it is for adults. One one hand, children can enjoy themselves in the ball pit at the back, or in the courtyard play area decorated with toys to play with."

"Mixing arcade games and fairground antics, Cirque Electriq is a themed Sydney restaurant bringing you new levels of fun. Head over to this big kids playground for the chance to tuck into hot dogs, pizzas and juicy burgers."
