Two days. Two completely different landscapes. One continuous private journey from Sydney's coastline to the heart of the nation.
Day 1 begins with breathtaking coastal vistas from Bald Hill Lookout over the Illawarra coastline, before continuing to Kiama to witness the raw power of the ocean at the famous blowhole. From the coast we climb the escarpment via Macquarie Pass into the Southern Highlands, arriving in Bowral for lunch before continuing south to Canberra.
Day 2 is yours to explore the capital at your own pace — the Australian War Memorial, Old Parliament House, Parliament House, the National Gallery, National Museum, and the National Arboretum are all on the table. Have a specific interest or venue in mind? As a fully private tour I'm happy to discuss alternatives within the Canberra region — just ask at the time of booking.
I've been guiding private tours from Sydney since 2009. No strangers, no fixed schedule, no rushing.
This 2 day tour picks up from Sydney CBD, staying in Canberra for 1 night, returning after day 2.
One of the most dramatic coastal viewpoints in NSW. From this clifftop vantage point you'll look out over the Illawarra coastline with the famous Sea Cliff Bridge curving out over the ocean below — a view that stops people mid-sentence.
One of Australia's most powerful natural blowholes, where the Southern Ocean forces seawater through a rock fissure with remarkable force. Timing and swell-dependent, but always worth the stop. The surrounding headland and rock pools are worth a wander.
