Offered in: English

Epic coastal hike, lagoon swim, gourmet picnic and koalas and kangaroos. Small, flexible groups with a tailored pace and weather backup.

The day includes a coastal hike in Royal National Park to Wedding Cake Rock or Eagle Rock, a light trail snack along the way, and time at Wattamolla Lagoon for a scenic picnic and optional swim. In the afternoon, we visit Symbio Wildlife Park for the 3 pm koala session, when they’re awake and active, plus time with kangaroos. We also drive the Grand Pacific Drive, stop at Otford Lookout and visit Sea Cliff Bridge.

The hike is around 10 km and moderate, but with very small groups the pace is fully tailored. We can shorten, slow down or make it more challenging. If the weather changes, there’s always a flexible plan B with scenic stops, so you still enjoy a full and beautiful day outdoors.

What sets this tour apart is the balance of real adventure and real care. It’s a small, personal experience shaped around you, not a rushed bus schedule.

Duration: 10 hours (approximately)

    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.

    Wattamolla Beach Picnic & Swim After the hike, unwind at Wattamolla Beach, a lagoon-style paradise perfect for a refreshing swim and picnic. Enjoy a spread prepared by a local caterer, featuring local cheeses, marinated olives, freshly made dips, crackers, falafel with hummus, dolmades, and seasonal fruit, paired with refreshing locally brewed kombucha.

    Next, we head to Symbio Wildlife Park for the 3 pm koala education session. We arrive on time on purpose, as this is when the koalas are awake and moving. You’ll learn about them, see them up close and understand why this timing is so special. There’s also time to walk among kangaroos and take photos.
