Private Tour
Sydney: Royal National Park Day Trip with Hike Picnic and Swim
Overview
Available languages
8 hours
Mobile ticket
We’ll hike to Wedding Cake Rock, swim and share a picnic at Wattamolla Beach, drive the Grand Pacific Drive, and meet native animals at Symbio Wildlife Park if you want to. Or we can skip the Sanctuary and head to natural rock pools or swimming holes. The day is ours.
These tours are about feeling the outdoors with all your senses. Fresh air, good food, real connection. We swim, we laugh, we wander along cliffs with the wind in our hair, listening to birds in the trees and waves crashing below.
Our guides have hiked all over the world and we love the great outdoors, human connection, and sharing quiet places most visitors never see.
What we offer is a grounded, sensory experience of this land, a relaxed day in nature and moments you’ll carry with you long after you leave. If you’re after detailed information on local flora and fauna, we do share some, but we’re not naturalists or the kind of guides who go deep into species details.

5.00Sabina did a great job getting to know me and tailoring the tour to my interests, which were hiking and seeing wildlife. She is very easy to talk to, personable and knowledgeable about the National Park. We found a great overlook along the coast for a nice picnic lunch. She also took videos and photos that she shared after the trip.
such a great day

5.00it was soo good. Sabina and I had such a good time together and she helped me to see a lot of the australian culture and nature. The hike to the Royal weeding cake outlook was amazing and also the short drives to Wattamolla beach, symbio wildlife park and two other spots were so great. The spots as well!. All in all it was one of the best days here in Australia. I would go on this trip to 100% again especially with Sabina

5.00I loved this experience. It’s been something I’ve been meaning to do and it was perfect. The day felt effortless, Sabina was an excellent host and guide. Being in nature with a small group made everything feel personal and relaxed. I didn’t realise how much I needed to experience nature in this way. I felt calm and the group was perfect. We were from all walks of life, yet nature has this ability to bring you all together. We had the best conversations, we laughed and connected. There’s something about sharing real moments outdoors that just sticks with you. This isn’t a tour, it’s a shared adventure that leaves you feeling a little lighter, more present, and genuinely connected. I highly recommend and will be doing more experiences like this!

5.00Great tour with very beautiful Australian nature experiences not far from Sydney! During the hike in the Royal National Park we were even lucky to spot a whale and falcon not far from the Wedding Cake-Cliff ! At the stop in Symbio we enjoyed getting a close view of Kangaroos and Koalas. The guide Sabina was super friendly and a very nice to talk to ! Strong recommendation !
