Two Days on the South Coast, Back in Sydney by Dinner. As a proud part of Sydney’s largest selection of signature private tours, this 2-day loop goes down the coast to Jervis Bay and Pebbly Beach and comes home the pretty way — through Kangaroo Valley and the Southern Highlands. No Canberra, no long inland drive: beaches, wildlife and a different road each day.

Designed for travellers who want the South Coast without the rush of a day trip. Travel in comfort in a luxury vehicle while your private guide takes you from the cliffs of the Grand Pacific Drive to the whitest sand in the world, a boat among dolphins, wild stingrays you can feed by hand, kangaroos grazing beside the surf at sunset, and a sandstone suspension bridge in a green valley on the way home.

🦘 Wild Kangaroos on the Beach at Sunset — 99% Success Rate
We reach Pebbly Beach in the late afternoon, when the kangaroos come down from the forest to graze on the grass above the sand. Wild animals in their own habitat, not a zoo — and the overnight stop is only 30 minutes further, so nobody is rushing.
🐟 Feed Wild Stingrays by Hand — 90% Success Rate
At the Woollamia boat ramp on Currambene Creek, five minutes from Huskisson, smooth stingrays up to 200 kg glide into the shallows when the fishing boats come back and the catch is cleaned. They will take a piece of fish from your fingers. Best in the early afternoon on Day 2 — we time the visit for it.

Premium Experience Highlights:

  • Symbio Wildlife Park: hand-feed kangaroos and meet koalas and wombats on the way out of Sydney.
  • Sea Cliff Bridge & Bald Hill: the Grand Pacific Drive suspended over the ocean, with hang-gliders above Stanwell Park.
  • Kiama Blowhole: the ocean roaring through the rocks beside the lighthouse.
  • Minnamurra Rainforest: a boardwalk under the canopy, a suspension bridge and giant strangler figs.
  • Jervis Bay Dolphin Cruise or Hyams Beach afternoon: resident bottlenose dolphins racing the bow (May–Nov: humpback whales instead) — or, in the wildlife-park version of Day 1, a lazy afternoon on the white sand.
  • Pebbly Beach Kangaroos: wild kangaroos on the grass and sand at sunset.
  • Hyams Beach & Booderee: the world's whitest sand and the sheltered coves of Booderee National Park.
  • Wild Stingrays: hand-feed 200 kg smooth rays at Woollamia.
  • Kangaroo Valley: cross the historic Hampden Bridge (1898) and finish with coffee at the Mittagong Station Coffee House.
🐋 Whale Season (May–November)
From May to November, humpback whales migrate past the South Coast. In season the Day 1 cruise becomes a Jervis Bay whale-watching cruise (2–3 hours, ~A$85 per adult) — humpbacks breaching close to the boat. Compare both coasts in our Whale Watching from Sydney guide.
Flexible Itinerary: This tour is fully customisable to suit your interests. We can adapt the pace for seniors or families with children, swap the Kangaroo Valley return for the coast road, or add a second night at Jervis Bay.
📌 Day 1 comes in two versions — you choose
A. Dolphin cruise. The 1.5-hour Jervis Bay cruise is included (whales May–Nov), and there is no time for the wildlife park that morning.
B. Wildlife park and beach. No cruise: instead, hand-feed kangaroos and meet koalas at Symbio Wildlife Park in the morning, and spend the afternoon resting on the white sand of Hyams Beach. Day 2 then swaps Hyams for the other coves of Booderee.
