Imagine walking dramatic cliff edges to Eagle Rock—a majestic monolith carved over millennia by wind and sea spray, offering raw, unforgettable Pacific views.

Next, unwind at Wattamolla Beach & Lagoon. In summer, dive into emerald waters and enjoy a luxury seaside picnic with artisan cheeses, fresh dips, warm falafel, and local kombucha. In winter, cozy up with a warm, sit-down restaurant lunch nearby.

Recharged, step into a timeless rainforest sanctuary along the Forest Path, surrounded by ancient Cabbage Tree Palms and towering blue gums along Bola Creek. To top off your day, take a scenic drive south to Otford Lookout for sweeping ocean panoramas, culminating in an exhilarating cruise over the world-famous Sea Cliff Bridge.

Strictly capped at 7 guests for a VIP experience. Consistently rated the highlight of their entire Sydney trip by our guests.

    Sydney

    Start your day with an easy pickup from Sydney CBD and leave the city behind as we head south into Royal National Park, where the cliffs meet the Pacific and the air already feels different. We start with a coastal hike to either Wedding Cake Rock or Eagle Rock, depending on the weather and how challenging you’d like the walk to be on the day. Both routes take you across sandstone cliffs and coastal tracks with wide open ocean views and some of the most beautiful scenery in the park.

    Royal National Park

    Journey along the coastal track to witness the striking geology of Eagle Rock or Wedding Cake Rock, an iconic sandstone formation sculpted over millennia by wind and sea spray. As you trek past dramatic cliff edges, you'll uncover how millions of years of natural erosion carved out these golden sandstone shelves, perched dramatically over the crashing waves of the Pacific Ocean.

    After completing the hike, unwind at Wattamolla Beach, a serene, lagoon-style paradise ideal for a refreshing swim and a relaxing picnic. Sit back and enjoy a carefully curated spread prepared by a local caterer, featuring artisan cheeses, marinated olives, freshly made dips, crackers, falafel with hummus, stuffed dolmades, and vibrant seasonal fruit, all paired with crisp, locally brewed kombucha.

    An immersive journey along the Forest Path in Royal National Park takes guests deep into one of the oldest and most atmospheric rainforest sanctuaries in Australia. Unlike the park’s exposed coastal headlands, this experience offers a cool, shaded oasis along the Hacking River and Bola Creek.
