Sydney, Australia

8 hours (approximately)
Offered in: English

Escape the city and step into one of Sydney’s best kept secrets with this experience in Ku-ring-gai Chase National Park, tailored to your pace and energy on the day.

We head into rugged sandstone wilderness with sweeping views over Pittwater and the Hawkesbury River. Along the way, you’ll walk quiet bush tracks to ancient Aboriginal sites, including the Red Hand Cave, and connect with the deeper story of this land.

The trail moves through forest, coastal bushland and dramatic lookouts before opening up to the hidden beauty of West Head Beach. Surrounded by untouched nature and golden sandstone, the water often turns clear turquoise on calm days.

Time to slow down. Swim if you feel like it, walk barefoot along the sand, or simply rest. A relaxed picnic is included with local cheeses, dips, fruit and kombucha.

On the way back, we stop at Mooney Mooney to enjoy fresh oysters from a waterside oyster farm, a simple, local experience that finishes the day perfectly.

    Resolute Beach

    Resolute Beach is a secluded stretch of golden sand tucked away in Ku-ring-gai Chase National Park, near Palm Beach and Pittwater. Surrounded by bushland and accessible only by foot or boat, it feels like a secret escape from the city. The calm, clear water is perfect for a refreshing swim after a hike, and the views across Pittwater to Barrenjoey Headland are stunning. With its mix of forest, rock platforms, and shoreline, Resolute Beach offers a peaceful place to rest, eat, or simply sit in silence — a spot that feels miles away from Sydney, yet only an hour’s drive from the city. this is where the afternoon becomes flexible. • Jump into the water for a swim and stay as long as you like • Continue walking and explore further • Or, if the weather isn’t ideal for swimming or walking, head to Mooney Mooney for fresh oyster tasting by the water.
