Sydney → Manly: key facts

Getting from Sydney Airport (SYD) to Manly takes about 35 min by car on an empty road (35–45 min in heavy traffic) over 26 km via M1 and A8. Our private transfer costs €140 for a car with 1–3 passengers or €200 for a van with 4–8 — the vehicle price you see is the price you pay at booking.

On arrival: The driver waits in the arrivals hall of the terminal your flight lands at: for international flights at the Meeting Point in the T1 Arrivals hall, after customs and baggage reclaim; for domestic flights in the T2 or T3 arrivals area by the baggage reclaim exit, holding a sign with your name. If the flight is late, the driver adjusts to the real landing time; 60 minutes of waiting are included and help with the luggage is part of the service.

Manly lies on a narrow isthmus between the harbour and the ocean on the northern side of Sydney Harbour, about 26 km by road from the airport. The drive crosses the whole city: north on the Eastern Distributor, under or over the harbour through the Sydney Harbour Tunnel or across the Harbour Bridge (both tolled southbound), then along the Warringah Freeway and Military Road to the Spit Bridge and on to Manly. Military Road and the Spit Bridge area are often congested in peak hours and on summer weekends.

The centre of Manly is compact: Manly Wharf and the ferry terminal on the harbour side, The Corso pedestrian street leading about 400 m to the ocean beach, and North Steyne and South Steyne running along the surf beach with hotels and apartments. Shelly Beach and Fairy Bower are a short walk south, and North Head with its lookouts lies beyond. The Corso is pedestrian, so cars stop on the surrounding streets or by the wharf.

Public transport instead: Sydney Trains train T8 Airport & South Line from International Airport station (T1) or Domestic Airport station (T2/T3) to Circular Quay station, frequent, every day from 5am to midnight. Sydney Ferries ferry F1 Manly from Circular Quay to Manly Wharf. There is no direct public transport from the airport to Manly. The usual combination is the T8 train to Circular Quay and then the F1 Manly ferry across the harbour (one change).
