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 of you using your phone.

What To Expect
Horderns Beach
Our first stop gives us a feel for life in Bundeena. This small town located within the national park has an old style wharf in front of picturesque Horderns Beach.
Wedding Cake Rock
Enjoy a walk on the Royal National Park Coastal Track and admire breathtaking cliff and ocean views. We will see The Cobblers, Balconies and the Waterrun as we head through coastal heath land to Wedding Cake Rock. There will be a number of short stops to discuss native plants (banksia, grass trees, gymea lilies) and wildflowers. In the course of the walk an overview will be provided of some of the wildlife found in the Royal National Park and its geological formations. Upon reaching Wedding Cake Rock it is time to take in the stunning view of majestic white sandstone against the blue Pacific Ocean. It is not very often that you will see a rock that looks like a piece of wedding cake!

5.00Greg did a great job of giving us a tour of the Royal National Park. We even got a picnic lunch. If you're into beautiful views, plants and birds, it's the right tour for you. Greg even helped us find our hotel that was cancelled at the last minute.

Great private sightseeing day with animal encounters

5.00Great day of sightseeing with our private guide Greg. It was raining some during the day but that didn't stop us from visiting the parks and animals at the Symbio park. We didn't get to have the picnic lunch but had a great lunch at the Imperial Hotel. The best part was feeding the Wallabies and Kangaroos at Symbio. They were so cute holding on to my hands not letting me go so they could eat. Best part of the day.
An unexpected adventure

5.00Greg is very happy to change the itinerary. We did the hike to Eagle Rock which took a few hours. Highly recommended for the views! This is a medium hike which can take 2.5 hours.We did four wildlife parks on our cruise, so we're looking for something else. We suggested the kayaking but the place in Royal National Park was closed due to high winds. He suggested the glow worms at the abandoned train tunnel. Amazing experience. It was like looking at the stars while listening to the birds outside. Something out of a Hitchcock movie. The lunch was excellant. Nothing like having a homemade lunch, on a picnic table, in the forest with birds eyeing you after the hike. Highly recommended for anyone who wants a truly memorable adventure.
Wonderful experience

5.00It was a wonderful experience, where we enjoyed incredible landscapes. Our guide (Greg) picked us up directly at our hotel, and planned the day according to what we wanted to see/do. We're a family of 4 adults (parents + 2 grown up daughters) We started by a ~2h30 walk (including all the photo breaks) on the coastal track, heading up to the wedding cake rock. Greg provided us some nice information on the geology, birds and plants around us. After this nice walk we had a great healthy lunch that Greg prepared for us. We then went to the Wattamolla falls, and to the Symbio Wildlife park. Greg managed to bring us there just at the time where the feeding of the koalas happened. The animal keeper also provided nice information. We fed the kangaroos, the wallabies and the emus. At the park closure we went to the Sea Cliff Bridge, and to the Wombarra beach. It was right at sunset, and we got really nice pictures. Greg also took some family pictures and sent them just the day after. Since going to the Royal National Park via public transport is close from the nightmare, that was a great opportunity for is to visit it. We highly recommend it!
Lovely Bespoke hike/tour day in Royal National Park and Sydney
Kenneth W,Jul 26, 2024

5.00Had a lovely day with Greg. We picked the Royal National Park tour but then ended up with a bespoke tour as we wanted a more challenging hike and had already visited the other sites listed on the original tour. Hiked Eagle Rock, had a nice picnic lunch (too bad the kookaburra flew off!), and then a leisurely drive through Sydney on the way back to our hotel. Greg pointed out buildings of architectural interest and we stopped twice for short walk arounds. Greg (of Sydney Nimble Tours) was truly nimble in adjusting the itinerary to suit us! We would definitely recommend Greg and Sydney Nimble Tours.
Great tour, fantastic host

5.00The value of this tour was so much more than the places we visited - Greg made sure we had the absolute best time we could have. Traveling as a family, we had a lot of requests for minor adjustments and Greg not only was flexible in accommodating those, but was also proactive in suggesting ways to improve our day. We had a blast and it's by far the day that our toddler talks about the most from the trip.
Excellent experience

5.00Greg picked us up nearly our hotel, and head straight to Royal National Park. He showed us where were the best spots to take photos and also helped to took some for us. The whole trip was excellent. I have traveled 24 countries and joined a lot of local tours, Greg's tour is one of the best one I have ever joined. Though we did not use to talk much
