What to expect
Expect a mix of short walks and scenic driving through the Illawarra region. The Sea Cliff Bridge walk delivers unforgettable coastal views; the Blowhole showcases nature's raw power when conditions allow. You'll ride through farming country with good chances of spotting grazing kangaroos and wombats. Whale watching is genuine May–October (not guaranteed), viewed from lookouts and coastal vantage points. Lunch happens at a beachside spot where you can stretch your legs again.
