About This Tour in Sydney

This is a fully private tour - your group only! The Royal National Park has waterfalls, cliffs, beaches, rock platforms, sand dunes and rainforest. On our walk to Wedding Cake Rock we will see native animals and plants, and panoramic views from steep cliffs. The pure white sandstone of Wedding Cake Rock is perfectly complemented by the blue Pacific Ocean. The next stop after the walk is Wattamolla Beach and waterfall followed by a drive through the park where we see tall timber and rainforest. Leaving the park presents yet more spectacular views at Bald Hill lookout. It is time to choose whether to visit Symbio Wildlife Park and enjoy a diverse range of native animals or go further south and explore a local beach, Sea Cliff Bridge and a renovated historic hotel. The day is flexible and we can do a longer walk to Eagle Rock, or do no walks at all if you prefer minimal walking. We will walk at a pace that suits your group. Join us for an uplifting day in nature.

Wattamolla is an aboriginal word meaning place near falling water. It is a unique place with a waterfall fed by Cootes Creek dropping into a large lagoon. The waterfall drops for around 10 metres into the lagoon which then meanders to Wattamolla Beach. In the warmer months both the lagoon and beach are popular swimming spots.
