TOUR INTRODUCTION:

The South Coast of NSW is rich with interesting rocky coastline, lush hills of farmland and rainforest, and coastal communities with a slow pleasant pace of life. It stretches south of The Royal National Park all the way down to the Victorian state border, a mere 500 kilometres south of Sydney. Our tours don’t extend this far but highlight the areas around Wollongong and Kiama and as far south as Nowra and Cape Jervis for whale and dolphin watching.

Our Private South Coast Tour is recommended to get away from busy city life and the more popular sightseeing areas and see life as a local in a couple of small communities sandwiched between the mountains and coast. Be amazed at the gushing blowholes and mystical rainforests all whilst meeting the local farmer at the bakery or patting the school dog.

TOUR HIGHLIGHTS:

• Watch paragliders sail over blue azure ocean at Bald Hill and the sea side village Stanwell Park.
