Resplan
Börja dagen med en enkel upphämtning från Sydney CBD och lämna staden bakom dig när vi beger oss söderut in i Royal National Park, där klipporna möter Stilla havet och luften redan känns annorlunda. Vi börjar med en kustvandring till antingen Wedding Cake Rock eller Eagle Rock, beroende på vädret och hur utmanande du vill att promenaden ska vara på dagen. Båda rutterna tar dig över sandstensklippor och kustspår med vidöppen havsutsikt och några av de vackraste landskapen i parken.
En av de äldsta lederna i Royal National Park, denna skogsstig slingrar sig genom höga eukalyptusträd och frodiga ormbunkar, med mjuk mark under fötterna och filtrerat ljus genom trädkronorna. Du vandrar i ett lugnt tempo längs skuggiga stigar, omgiven av fågelsång och den friska doften av buske. Det är en lugnare, mer jordnära del av parken, rik på historia och känsla. Längs vägen finns det stunder att pausa, ta in skogens texturer och helt enkelt vara nedsänkt i naturen.
Wattamolla Beach picknick & simning Efter vandringen kan du varva ner på Wattamolla Beach, ett lagunliknande paradis perfekt för ett uppfriskande dopp och picknick. Njut av ett pålägg som tillagats av en lokal cateringfirma, med lokala ostar, marinerade oliver, nygjorda dopp, kex, falafel med hummus, dolmades och säsongens frukt, tillsammans med uppfriskande lokalt bryggd kombucha.
Därefter beger vi oss till Symbio Wildlife Park för koalautbildningen kl. 15.00. Vi kommer i tid med flit, eftersom det är då koalorna är vakna och i rörelse. Du kommer att lära dig om dem, se dem på nära håll och förstå varför denna timing är så speciell. Det finns också tid att promenera bland kängurur och ta bilder.
Ett snabbt fotostopp vid Otford Lookout för de stora kustvyerna, och om glassbilen är där, tar vi en fräck njutning.
Besök den ikoniska Sea Cliff Bridge för en kort promenad och otrolig havsutsikt innan du åker tillbaka till Sydney, avslappnad och full av minnen från dagen.
Hotell nära Grand Pacific Drive & Coastal Viewpoint Efter att ha lämnat parken kör vi längs den spektakulära Grand Pacific Drive, en av Australiens mest natursköna kustrutter. Njut av den vidsträckta havsutsikten och stanna till för foton på en panoramautsikt.

Royal National Park is in a word-magical! We were blown away by the beauty of the park, the wildlife, the coast. We were blessed to see humpback whales and double rainbows. Sabina is an amazing guide, providing tidbits of history throughout the trip and sharing her wonderful, easy-going vibe. She safely drove us around and we couldn't have been more pleased with the day she planned for us. We COULD NOT have had this experience without her!! We had some challenges with the weather, but the rainbows most definitely made it worth it! We had a wonderful lunch at a local cafe. We ended the trip at Symbio Wildlife Park where we fed kangaroos and were super close to koalas. Trust me when I say, you should book this experience! My husband and I love to hike and be outdoors, so this was the perfect way to experience Australia's beautiful scenery and national park without being too far from Sydney. 10 out of 10!!!!
Great tour with Sabina,and one of the few that goes to Royal National Park! Easy pickup and drop off, beautiful park lookouts and photo ops, delicious lunch! She even took photos and sent them to us afterwards which made the day easier! The only caveat is that if, like me, you aren’t I the best shape, it’s a bit of a trek, but it was still worth it! She also customized it to include or not include Symbio sanctuary since some travelers may have already been to see the wildlife already which I appreciated!
I had a wonderful experience with Beyond Guidebook to the Royal National Park. Our guide, Sabina, was friendly, knowledgeable, and made the whole day enjoyable. She shared helpful information, gave us enough time at each stop. The scenery was stunning, and the food and coffee stops were also really good. I would highly recommend this tour to anyone who wants a relaxing and memorable day trip from Sydney.
We had such an amazing experience with Sabina! From the moment we met her, she was incredibly friendly, knowledgeable and made the entire day feel relaxed and enjoyable rather than rushed. She took us to some breathtaking locations that we would never have discovered on our own, shared interesting local stories, and made sure everyone was comfortable throughout the tour. Her passion for Sydney and the surrounding national parks really shines through. As a bonus, Sabina also captured beautiful photos of us during the trip and sent them through afterwards, which was such a thoughtful touch and means we have wonderful memories to look back on. If you’re looking for a small-group tour that’s personal, well-organised and full of hidden gems, I highly recommend booking with Sabina and Beyond Guidebook. Thank you again for such a memorable experience!

We're so happy you enjoyed discovering some of our favourite places and that the day felt relaxed and personal. That's exactly the kind of experience we hope every guest takes home. We're also glad you enjoyed the photos. We know how special it is to have memories you can look back on long after the trip is over. Thank you for choosing Beyond Guidebook and for recommending us to future travellers. We hope our paths cross again someday. Safe travels and all the best for the rest of your adventures!
We love this tour with Sabina, she is such an easy going guide. She prepared everything in advance. She is also very punctual in time. Took good care of my parents as they can't really walk much. She was very attentive to everything we asked. Eventually she was more like a friend than a guide. The tour itself is very chill and not rushing. You have plenty of time to do everything without rushing at all. We had a fun day with Sabina.
Thank you for such a thoughtful review! It makes us incredibly happy to hear that the day felt relaxed and enjoyable from start to finish. We believe the best experiences happen when there's no need to rush, so we're glad you had plenty of time to take everything in. We're especially pleased that your parents felt comfortable throughout the day. Making sure everyone can enjoy the experience at their own pace is something we genuinely care about. Thank you for spending the day with us. We hope your Australian adventure continues to be full of great memories!
what a wonderful day! Sabina has created a flexible itinerary that allows the people on the tour to get what they want out of the experience, while visiting some seriously awesome locations. Along the way Sabina shared interesting facts about the locations and kept me interested, excited and engaged throughout. I was surprised by the amount of things we were able to do, while the itinerary felt relaxed, well planned and efficient. Some of my favorite moments were seeing several whales wandering along the coast, all the fun birds we heard and saw, and the koalas at Symbio (seriously, what a great place!). I highly recommend this tour, and will be booking more with Sabina when I return to Sydney.
Thank you so much for this. It genuinely made my day. The whales really turned it on for us that morning, didn't they? And Symbio never disappoints. I love that the relaxed pace worked for you while we still fit so much in. That balance is exactly what I'm chasing on every walk. Come find me next time you're in Sydney; there's plenty more coast to explore. :)
Went on a tour with Sabina via Getyourguide! Mum and I were very appreciative: it was def a highlight of our Sydney trip. Lunch wasn't very protein heavy but hummus was yummy and guide was attentive throughout ❤️
Thank you so much, so happy it was a highlight of your Sydney trip! That means a lot. And noted on the lunch, I am always looking to make the picnic even better so I appreciate the feedback. So glad you and your mum had a wonderful day out there! Hope to see you both again soon. Sabina, Beyond Guidebook
Sabina is great person and guide! I had a wonderful time with her, very open and fun person. It seemed that I was with friend because she makes you feel so comfortable. She took us to an amazing and beautiful landscape in the royal national park. I definitely recommend her ! I’ll try to book another tour with her.
Thank you so much for these beautiful words 🌳 That is the greatest compliment. Feeling like you are walking with a friend rather than a guide is exactly the experience I want every single person to have! Royal National Park never disappoints and I am so glad we got to explore it together. I would absolutely love to have you back on the trails again! Sabina
Our day with Sabina was incredible, from pick up at our hotel, to drop off at the end of the day. She tailored to day to our interests. We love hiking and being outdoors. Her knowledge of wildlife and fauna added so much to our adventure. Little touches like a coffee and coconut cookie in the morning to a charming picnic lunch, snack on a beautiful overlook, made our day so memorable. speaking of memorable, within a couple hours we received her wonderful photos. I try to take lots of photos but to have so many photos that are not selfies of our day will help us relive our amazing day forever. Thank you Sabina for an incredible Aussie adventure. We will always carry Sabina in our hearts and hope our paths cross again. I highly recommend this tour.
Hi Sue & James, Thank you so much for such a beautiful message, it means a lot. I’m really glad you felt the day was tailored to you, that’s always the intention, to make it feel personal and not just like another tour. It was such a good day out, and I loved sharing it with you both. Thank you again for trusting me with your time here. I’ll definitely remember this one as well. If you’re ever back in Sydney, reach out, would be lovely to cross paths again. See you out there 🙂
Fantastic experience that provided an escape from the busy city life of Sydney. We were able to see some spectacular views through an enjoyable hike followed by a carefully prepared lunch consisting of local cheeses and crackers. I recommend this excursion without hesitation ! I also booked a separate excursion with the same tour company a day later to experience a different hike through the Ku-ring-gai Chase National Park. As fabulous and enjoyable. You will not be disappointed.
Thank you so much for this, really means a lot! So glad you got to step away from the city and properly enjoy it out there. That mix of the hike, the views, and just slowing down over a simple picnic… that’s exactly what it’s all about. And love that you came back for Ku-ring-gai as well. Two completely different landscapes, but both have their own kind of magic. Really appreciate the recommendation and the trust across both days. Hope the memories stay with you for a long time 😊
