About this activity

Be enchanted by the otherworldly moonscapes of the NSW South Coast on a private tour crafted for travellers who crave dynamic landscapes, dramatic coastlines and deep, ancient forests. If you’re drawn to wild horizons and shifting natural wonders, this journey is essential.

Explore black‑shaped shorelines that rise like the ruined columns and obelisks of a forgotten Roman city. Watch the ocean breathe through spurting blowholes, then step into a rainforest world of mythical ferns, elkhorns and cool green light.

Your South Coast experience includes sweeping views from Stanwell Tops, the iconic curve of the Sea Cliff Bridge, the golden sands of Sharkies and Austinmer Beach, Kiama’s fascinating rock quarries and blowholes, the charming village of Jamberoo, and a walk through the ancient Minnamurra Rainforest—with the chance to spot kangaroos, wombats and the whimsical lyrebird. It's a journey of magical green hinterland, seaside villages and untouched rainforests all woven into one.
