Middle Harbour sits on the traditional lands of the Guringai people and later became a working maritime corridor for colonial Sydney; small coves still preserve remnants of that layered past.
Conservation
Guides typically follow local marine park rules—avoid disturbing shorebirds, pack out rubbish, and minimise plastic use to protect seagrass and rockpool habitats.
