Tour Description

Escape from the city on a two-day expertly guided and fully supported hiking and camping adventure and experience Royal's iconic Coast Walk.

Bring your camera and sense of adventure; let us take care of the rest. Come bushwalking Sydney's iconic Coast Track in the Royal National Park and experience secluded beaches, waterfalls, unique sandstone formations and heritage-listed shack communities... all easily accessible in less than one hour by road or public transport from the CBD.

All camping equipment is transported and erected for you, leaving you free to experience the beauty of the outdoors without the burden of a heavy pack. The expert local guide carries and supplies lunch, and a marinated leg of lamb is roasting on the BBQ for dinner.

Arrive at the idyllic waterfront campsite for an afternoon of leisure, swimming in the protected bay or freshwater lagoon, playing beach sports or relaxing with a beer or wine.

This is a small group guided hike, walking up to 30km over two days. It is graded as a medium-level hike as there are several hills on the second day. We recommend moderate fitness and advise you to be prepared for all weather conditions.

Royal Coast Walks specialise in hiking and camping through the Royal National Park, and are fully licensed by the National Parks and Wildlife Service. All guides hold Senior First Aid and carry satellite phones on every trip to ensure your safety.
