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.
Before we head deeper into the national park, we’ll stop at West Head Lookout, one of the most breathtaking viewpoints in Ku-ring-gai Chase National Park.

It’s the perfect first pause to arrive, take a breath, and soak in the scale and beauty of the landscape before we continue the journey.
We’ll follow the Aboriginal Heritage Walk, a beautiful bush track that winds through sandstone country and coastal forest. Along the way, you’ll visit two rock shelters with hand stencils and see ancient Aboriginal carvings etched into the stone, powerful reminders of the deep cultural history and connection to Country that has existed here for thousands of years.
