People often tell us they arrive as strangers but leave as friends — that’s what happens when we share real moments in nature.
Join us for a day in Ku-ring-gai Chase National Park, one of the most significant places for Aboriginal culture near Sydney. We’ll hike through bushland, visit ancient carvings, and take in views of the Hawkesbury River, Pittwater, and Palm Beach. The hike is moderate to hard, leading to a hidden beach where we can dip our feet, swim, and share a picnic surrounded by nature.
We’re not about rushing from stop to stop. Our adventures are slow, simple, and real — one place, done properly. Small groups, secret lookouts, quiet beaches, and moments you won’t see from a bus window. Add local cheeses, dips, fruit, and kombucha, and you’ve got a day that feels less like a tour and more like exploring with friends.
This experience is designed for single travellers, but groups and couples are more than welcome. It’s all about connection, movement, and presence.

1
Leave the city behind and spend the day exploring Ku-ring-gai Chase National Park, where rugged sandstone, peaceful waterways, and hidden bushland tracks create the perfect escape just north of Sydney. We’ll collect you from the CBD and head north in a private car, keeping the group small so we can move at a relaxed pace. Over the course of 5 to 6 hours (depending on the group), we’ll follow scenic trails through native bush, pause at lookouts with sweeping views of Pittwater and the Hawkesbury, and keep an eye out for wildlife along the way. You’ll also have the chance to see Aboriginal rock carvings — reminders of the park’s deep cultural significance and thousands of years of connection between people and Country. These are the kinds of places big buses can’t reach. Midway, we’ll stop for a catered picnic, set either in a shaded bush clearing or on a quiet beach. The spread includes local cheeses, dips, olives, falafel, fruit, and kombucha.

America Bay Lookout is one of Ku-ring-gai Chase National Park’s hidden gems — a short bush trail that leads to breathtaking views over the Hawkesbury River and Cowan Water. Along the walk, you’ll pass through native eucalypt forest, sandstone outcrops, and an Aboriginal rock engraving site depicting a spirit figure and kangaroo. The lookout itself opens up to a dramatic clifftop panorama, with deep blue waterways winding between rugged bush-covered hills. It’s peaceful, uncrowded, and a perfect spot to pause, breathe, and take in the stillness of the landscape.

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.
