Description

Start your day with a convenient pickup from Sydney’s CBD. Meet your small group and settle into a comfortable private car as you leave the city behind and head south toward the coast. Stop at the coastal village of Bundeena, the gateway to the Royal National Park. Take a short walk to see ancient Aboriginal carvings etched into the sandstone — one of the park’s most fascinating cultural sites. Follow a scenic coastal trail across sandstone terraces and cliff tops with sweeping ocean views. Stop at the famous Wedding Cake Rock — a striking white sandstone formation perched above the Pacific. It’s one of the most photographed spots in the park and a great place to capture your own unforgettable photos. 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, hummus, dolmades, and seasonal fruit, paired with refreshing locally brewed kombucha. After leaving the park, 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. Finish the day meeting some of Australia’s most iconic animals at Symbio Wildlife Park — from kangaroos and wallabies to koalas and colorful birds. Finally, relax on the drive back as you return to the city, filled with memories, photos, and that relaxed feeling that only a day in nature can bring.
