Famed for its expansive golden beach and tidal surf, Bondi Beach offers far more than just TV-savvy lifesavers, and this bespoke private day tour will showcase the other side of this understated area.

Of course, no trip to Bondi would be complete without the customary surfing lesson at the renowned surf lifesaving club, so you'll begin this tour with a private lesson with a local surf instructor before exploring the lesser-known side of Bondi. If surfing isn't your preference, you can opt to try paddle boarding, body boarding, or even just swimming.

Later, with your feet on solid ground, your guide will take you on a walking tour of Bondi, showing you the other side of this famous suburb. Opt to wander the funky back streets or visit some of the local art galleries or cafés; this hipster area is home too. You might like to spend some time visiting the local artisanal shops and pick up a souvenir or two, or opt for a more scenic coastal walk to see Bondi from a different perspective. The choice is yours.
