About this tour

This seven-to-eleven-hour private tour tracks the South Coast of New South Wales, threading between dramatic coastal formations and ancient bushland.

The itinerary spans Stanwell Tops, Austinmer Beach and the quiet village of Jamberoo, revealing layered basalt cliffs and fern-draped gullies that feel remote despite their proximity to Sydney.

What to expect

Expect a mix of active observation and relaxed driving. The blowholes at Kiama demand patience—timing and swell conditions determine spray height, so outcomes vary. Rainforest sections involve gentle walking on formed tracks through lush canopy; wallabies are shy but present, and lyrebirds heard more often than seen. Most of the day unfolds from the vehicle, pulling over at viewpoints and trailheads. Weather on the South Coast changes quickly, so layered clothing suits all seasons.

Good to know

Bring your own water and snacks; lunch is not included. The rainforest walk suits all fitness levels but involves uneven terrain. Wear sturdy footwear and check tide times if blowholes are your priority. Private vehicle seats up to six passengers comfortably. Ben Barry, the owner-operator, draws on twenty years' local knowledge.
