Southern Highlands & South Coast Private Tour From Sydney

About this tour

This nine-hour private tour sweeps south from Sydney through dramatic coastal and highland scenery. You'll cross the engineering feat of Sea Cliff Bridge, witness water geysers erupting from coastal rock formations, trek through canopy walkways, and visit art deco villages renowned for local wine. A local guide navigates the winding roads while you absorb sweeping ocean vistas, plunging waterfalls, and the raw power of the Southern Highlands landscape.

Highlights

• Sea Cliff Bridge with panoramic coastal views
• Kiama blowhole: seawater exploding metres skyward
• 80-metre Fitzroy Waterfalls cascade through fern gullies
• Treetop canopy walks at Illawarra Fly Park
• Wine-tasting stops in boutique highland villages
• Stanwell Tops Lookout across Wollongong coastline

What to expect

Expect a full day in an air-conditioned minivan stopping at five to six distinct sites. Most stops involve short walks (15–45 minutes) on established paths with variable terrain—some steep, some leisurely. You'll spend time at viewpoints absorbing vistas, then move to the next location. The blowhole is weather-dependent; large swells create the most dramatic spray. Wine tastings happen at local cellar doors in quiet villages. Lunch isn't included, so plan meals at village cafés beforehand.
