About this tour

This nine-hour private tour sweeps south from Sydney through coastal scenery, vineyard country, and charming inland villages. Travelling in a climate-controlled minivan with up to six others, you'll visit beaches, winery estates, and historic towns at your own pace. National park entry fees are covered, as is onboard WiFi. The route suits all fitness levels, though you'll want to arrange lunch separately at one of the local pubs or cellar doors along the way.

Highlights

  • Coastal drives with pullover stops at dramatic cliff-top beaches
  • Working wineries in the Southern Highlands wine region
  • Charming country towns with period pubs and local character
  • National park exploration included in tour cost
  • Air-conditioned minivan seats maximum six travellers
  • Flexible itinerary tailored to group interests

What to expect

You'll depart Sydney heading south into gradually changing landscape—beaches giving way to rolling vineyards and cool-climate farmland. The minivan allows flexibility to stop where something catches your eye: a viewpoint, a winery cellar door, a village high street. National parks along the route offer short walks or simply quiet spaces to stretch your legs. Towns like Bowral and Mittagong retain an unhurried rhythm; expect heritage buildings, independent shops, and village pubs serving regional produce. The pace is leisurely rather than tick-box sightseeing.

Good to know

Lunch isn't included, so plan to eat at a winery or local pub—both are abundant. The tour suits all fitness levels, but wear comfortable shoes for walking around towns and parks. Maximum group size is six, which keeps the minivan intimate. Public transport options exist nearby if you prefer independent onward travel.
