Northern Beaches LGA — Sydney Airport Shuttle
Private shuttle covering Sydney's entire Northern Beaches — from Manly and Dee Why up through Mona Vale, Newport and on to Avalon, Whale Beach and Palm Beach. Fixed fares from $119. Tolls & GST always included.
Getting from Northern Beaches LGA to Sydney Airport
The Northern Beaches sit north of the Spit Bridge — there's only really one fast way south. From Manly through Mona Vale our drivers run Pittwater Road → Spit Bridge → Military Road → Harbour Tunnel → Eastern Distributor. Manly is roughly 40 min / 20 km; Palm Beach is more like 90 min / 55 km.
From the Forestville / Frenchs Forest pocket we'll often take Wakehurst Parkway → Roseville Bridge → Pacific Highway → Harbour Bridge to bypass Spit Bridge bottlenecks.
Spit Bridge timing matters. Our drivers know exactly when it lifts for yachts and the Pittwater Road rat-runs to avoid Brookvale gridlock. For Palm Beach runs, we always pad the schedule.
Built for the Long Beaches Run
From Manly to Palm Beach is 50 km of coastline. Prime Rider is the fixed-fare, comfortable way to make that trip.
