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, stop at Forest Path, one of the eldest trails in the park, a trail snack along the way, and time at Wattamolla Lagoon for a picnic and swim. We visit Symbio Wildlife Park for koala session, when they’re awake and active, plus time with kangaroos. We 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.
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.
One of the oldest trails in Royal National Park, this forest path winds through tall eucalyptus trees and lush ferns, with soft ground underfoot and filtered light through the canopy. You’ll walk at an easy pace along shaded tracks, surrounded by birdsong and the fresh scent of the bush. It’s a quieter, more grounded part of the park, rich in history and feeling. Along the way, there are moments to pause, take in the textures of the forest, and simply be immersed in nature.
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.
Quick photo stop at Otford Lookout for those big coastal views, and if the ice cream truck’s there, we’ll grab a cheeky treat.
Visit the iconic Sea Cliff Bridge for a short walk and incredible ocean views before heading back to Sydney, relaxed and full of memories from the day.
Grand Pacific Drive & Coastal Viewpoint After leaving the park, we’ll drive along the spectacular Grand Pacific Drive, one of Australia’s most scenic coastal routes. Soak in the sweeping ocean views and stop for photos at a panoramic lookout.
