If meandering coastal paths, rugged cliff lines, whilst tracking pods of migrating whales sounds like heaven to you, then this guided two-day adventure along the Coast Track should be on your Sydney bucket list. The 28km hike from Otford to Bundeena follows the stunning coastline of the Royal National Park, an hour south of the city, and takes in famous natural sights such as Wedding Cake Rock.
This is the perfect getaway for those wanting to get out of the city and truly experience everything the Australian great outdoors has to offer. First-time hiker? No worries. This is an ideal two day adventure. You won’t need to carry heavy packs, as we will be overnighting at a historic pub. Our experienced guides are there every step of the way, ready to show you how to become an intrepid, eco-friendly explorer.
All you need is a good level of fitness and an attitude ready to embrace the unknown (the hike has some steep sections).

Day 1 : 18km / 5-7hrs
On Day 1, we will meet in Otford, and follow the Coastal Track all the way to Watamolla Beach. Be prepared for views that take your breath away as blue skies and turquoise oceans meet the emerald green of native Australian bushland and swathes of golden sand. On this route, you will get to learn some of the fascinating history of the area and how the quaint cottages you’ll see on this section of the walk came to be. You will also get to witness one of the few waterfalls in the world that flows directly into the ocean at Curracurrong Falls. We also pass by Eagle Hawk, and above the Figure Eight Pools.
At Wattamolla Beach our first day on the trail draws to an end. We jump into our transport, pick up our cars from Otford, and head to our accommodation to unwind and recount the day.
Day 2 : 10km - 3-4hrs
On Day 2, we head back to Wattamolla where we will follow the Coastal Track once again. Keeping the coast to our right, we will walk along the sand of Marley and Little Marley Beach, where we'll enjoy morning tea at a secluded spot.
We will then visit Wedding Cake rock, named because - well, it looks like a wedding cake. It's one of many geographically interesting rock formations we see throughout the two days. Between May and November, this part of the walk is a great place to spot the migration of whales along the coast. We finish our two days of hiking with an optional cold drink and/or a meal, overlooking Bates Bay at the very popular Bundeena RSL.
