This tour is AWESOME! Ian is such an interesting guy and the Royal coast is truly breathtaking. I love being outdoors but after doing Manly and Bondi walks thought another walk might be overkill. NOT EVEN CLOSE. This is one of the most beautiful places I have ever seen in my life and is not in any of the tour... More

'Royal Coast Walks' is a small bushwalking tour operator based in the Sutherland Shire, Sydney. We did the one-day Bundeena to Little Marley hike with Ian, the owner of the business. The tour started with a ferry ride from Cronulla to Bundeena. From there the walk goes along the Jibbon Beach, then along the coast with wonderful sandstone formations. Lunch... More

Fantastic experience, that i highly recommend for adventure seekers that are willing to go the extra mile. Our two day trek invigorated us with a beautiful scenic route that looked over the ocean and through dense bushland. Learning and experiencing first hand the natural habitat that the Royal National Park has to offer.

A great tour with a great guide! What else can I say. An unforgettable experience, spending one day together with Ian, who does an excellent job! He even made the heavy rainfall stop right for lunch time. These are the little, subtle things which matter ;-) Royal Coast Walks made this day as one these days you will never forget!... More

The 2 day Royal Coast guided walk was an amazing, not to be missed experience! During the entire weekend and 15 hour hike, the expectations of our group were surpassed on every level. The knowledge and professionalism of our guide, the healthy selection of fresh food for lunch, dinner and breakfast was unexpected, the friendliness and positive enthusiasm from our... More

I took the two days' Wattamolla Tour, it was amazing. Everything was just perfect: the splendid view, the beautiful camping site, as well as the excellent food. Remember to wear waterproof shoes.

So glad you enjoyed your tour, especially as we know this was your second tour with us. A very special welcome back! That's a good tip about shoes - remember this is an outdoor activity so track conditions are changeable. More

A great day out and so close to Sydney CBD. Thoroughly enjoyed the walk, the views, the information, and whale spotting (must have been rush hour for whales while we ate lunch!). Also, Ian's information about the original inhabitants, the plants, sandstone (love the colours and patterns), and wildlife made the day even better. I'd recommend this.

We enjoyed a vigorous walk along the coast and inside the bush. The views from the beach and the cliffs were amazing and worth the effort. Our guide Ian was incredibly knowledgeable, and took his time to identify the birds, the flora, the trees, and tie them to Australian history or Aboriginal culture. The aboriginal paintings at Jibbon were fascinating.... More
