Detailed itinerary

Stop 1

Go Beyond Tours will pick you up from your City Accomodation.

Beautiful coastal and cliff views. Perfect spot to view views of the ocean and amazing paragliders. Plus get to admire the Escarpment rock face and the Sea Cliff Bridge. Enjoy a provided Morning Tea here too.

Stop 3

Kiama's famous Blowhole is the largest in the world!
A viewing platform gives great views of the Kiama blowhole.
This landmark has attracted people to the region for over 100 years.

The Little Blowhole sprays more often than it's big brother ,and is well worth visiting, situated just three kilometres south of the Kiama Township. The spray reaches remarkable heights and can be viewed from a viewing platform or on the rocky foreshore.

We stop here for a delicious lunch in a restaurant in the town centre.

Illawarra Fly Treetop Walk (Option at own cost)
Choose from either:
- Australia's highest Zipline Tour, or
- Incredible Treetop Walk experience.
The Treetop Walk is a gentle 1.5 kilometre loop track with 500 metres of elevated steel walkway through the treetops, some 20-30 metres above the forest floor. This steel walkway features two cantilevered arms and culminates at Knights Tower, a spiral tower that rises to a breathtaking 45 metres above ground.
Positioned 710 metres above sea level, the stunning panoramic views take in everything from the rainforest canopy, coastal towns and out to the Pacific Ocean.

One of the most spectacular waterfalls anywhere in Australia, the 81m high Fitzroy Falls drops dramatically into the untouched bushland of Morton National Park. The park is part of the rugged Southern Highlands region, just south of Sydney.

You can choose to include a wine tasting at one of the picturesque Southern Highland Vineyards to top off your amazing Day Adventure before we head back towards Sydney.

Amazing experience finishes with a drop- off back to the door of your city accomodation (if you choose not to take the ferry from Homebush back to the city centre).
