Step into the dark side of Sydney's history on the Ghostly Encounters Tour at Manly's former Quarantine Station, known today as Q Station. With a lantern in hand, follow your guide through darkened corridors, historic buildings and secluded pathways, and discover more than 150 years of tragedy, death and loss. Along the way you will hear accounts of reported ghost sightings, restless spirits and unexplained paranormal activity linked to the station's past. This after-dark guided walking tour combines historical storytelling with tales of the supernatural and regularly runs on Sunday to Thursday evenings for approximately 2.5 hours. It is open to guests aged 15 and over, and the route covers uneven ground, slopes and steps, so good mobility is needed. Please arrive at the Visitor Centre in Q Station's Wharf Precinct at least 10 minutes before your tour begins, as late arrivals cannot be accommodated.
