Swim with the Queen of the English Channel in New South Wales

Sydney, New South Wales

Meet, greet, have photos and swim with the Queen of the English Channel and Guinness World Record Holder, Chloe McCardel.

You will be swimming in a rich aquatic reserve known for its local species of turtles, cuttlefish (similar to octopus), tropical fish and some very shy harmless reef sharks, including Port Jacksons and Wobbegongs.

This is a very intimate experience for a maximum of 8 guests.

* WORLD EXCLUSIVE *
This is the only small group public swim experience that the Queen of the Channel offers in the world.

Explore like a local! Lesser-known by tourists but loved by locals, Shelly Beach in Manly is one of the best beaches in Australia for its glistening cove and protected marine reserve that forms part of Cabbage Tree Bay.

A tour guide will collect you from the meet point, taking you along the iconic and popular Manly to Shelley Beach walk. Here you can explore the eco-sculpture exhibition and more!

Also a great opportunity to exercise in nature whilst you travel.
