Overview

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.
