Itinerary and highlights

Visit Australia's oldest national park and one of Sydney's best kept secrets. A short 45 minute drive from the city and you enter this natural paradise away from the crowds with hikes, beaches, waterfalls, swimming holes and much more.

Stop at this historic and scenic location for a morning coffee or an optional paddle on the beautiful kangaroo Creek.

Arrive at this charming waterside village either by car or by optional morning ferry trip, grab a coffee and choose to walk down the beautiful Jibbon Beach to experience an ancient and sacred Aboriginal art site.

Visit this iconic and secluded beach and choose to swim in the lagoon or just enjoy the spectacular scenery and local wildlife.

Enjoy a short hike from Wattamolla across dramatic sea cliffs with sweeping views of the Pacific Ocean, perhaps sighting dolphins or migrating whales. Your guide will take you to a pristine freshwater swimming hole (the one in the photos) so that you can enjoy a refreshing swim.

Stop for a stunning view across the national park over secluded beaches and surfing shacks.

Stop to enjoy the view at this famous lookout. See the hangliders circling above and the surfers below.

Cruise along this iconic bridge/highway that hangs above the Pacific Ocean
