Overview

Explore the beauty of the Royal National Park on a private full‑day tour tailored to your group.

Travel with an experienced and attentive guide to coastal lookouts, coastal trails, waterfalls, beaches, and rock formations, with walking options matched to your interests and fitness level.

Enjoy the bird life and varied flora of the park - eucalyptus forests, coastal heaths and rainforests.

The itinerary is flexible and can include a hike to Wedding Cake Rock or Eagle Rock, and or a visit to Symbio Wildlife Park to see native animals.

Outside of the park we normally visit Bald Hill, Sea Cliff Bridge and the Imperial at Clifton ( a great place to finish with a cold drink or coffee).

We will take photographs with our SLR camera free of charge and forward the day after the tour or we can take photos using your phone.

This private experience includes door to door transport in a new SUV, park entry, cold drinks, snacks and a freshly prepared picnic lunch.

What's Included

  • Lunch Sourdough sandwiches made to your order (we send suggestions before the day), two salads and a desert from one of our best patisseries. Drinks - either sparkling San Pellegrino, juice or cold water.
  • Snacks muesli bars, crispy apples and other fruit
