What to Expect

Departure Meet your guide and fellow fans at 107 Harrington Street, The Rocks, Sydney — the back entrance to the Four Seasons Hotel, opposite the Harrington Convenience Store — at 10:30am sharp. The coach departs promptly, so please arrive a few minutes early.

The Journey North As you head up the coast, your guide will keep you entertained with behind-the-scenes stories, cast gossip, production trivia, and the kind of insider knowledge that only a true Home and Away devotee can provide.

  • The Summer Bay Surf Club — the iconic exterior of the SLSC that has appeared in the show since 1989, recognisable globally as the heart of the community
  • Alf’s Bait Shop area — home to one of the show’s most beloved characters and one of the most photographed spots on the tour
  • The Pier — a landmark featured across countless storylines over the years
  • Barrenjoey Lighthouse — the dramatic headland lookout that has appeared in the show’s opening credits and some of its most memorable scenes
  • Famous Home and Away houses — spot the residences that have housed Summer Bay’s most iconic families

Free Time You’ll have free time at Palm Beach to explore at your own pace, take photos, grab a snack, or simply sit on one of Sydney’s most beautiful stretches of golden sand and enjoy the view.

Finishing at Manly Beach The tour wraps up at world-famous Manly Beach at approximately 3:30–4:00pm, where you can browse the Manly Corso, enjoy a coffee at the beachfront, or simply catch the scenic 30-minute Manly Ferry back to Circular Quay (ferry fare not included).

Total duration: approximately 5–5.5 hours

Frequently Asked Questions

Which tour option should I choose — Filming Very Likely or Meet an Actor? If you want the thrill of possibility — watching live scenes being filmed and potentially bumping into cast on location — choose the Filming Very Likely tour, which runs most Mondays and Tuesdays. If you want a guaranteed cast experience with dedicated time for photos, autographs, and a Q&A, choose the Meet an Actor tour, which runs on Wednesdays, Fridays, and Sundays.

Is filming guaranteed on the Filming Very Likely tour? No. While your guide has extensive knowledge of the filming schedule, production can change at short notice. There is no guarantee that filming will be taking place, nor how close to the cast you may get if it is. For certainty, the Meet an Actor tour is the better choice.
