Scenic South Coast & Kiama Blowholes Private Day Tour

Sea Cliff Bridge, Kiama Blowholes and the volcanic coastline south of Sydney

Sydney’s South Coast reveals a very different landscape from the city and harbour — where rainforest escarpments meet the Pacific Ocean and dramatic volcanic rock formations shape the coastline.

This private day tour travels south from Sydney along one of New South Wales’ most scenic coastal routes. Along the way we visit Kiama’s famous blowholes, the striking basalt formations at Bombo Headland and the sweeping views from the Sea Cliff Bridge.

The day combines coastal scenery, geology and wildlife, with time to walk and explore several remarkable locations along the way.

Your guide Greg is a Sydney local whose tours draw on years spent exploring the landscapes surrounding the city — from the sandstone plateaus of the Blue Mountains to the coastal headlands and national parks along the NSW coast.

Tour Highlights

A typical South Coast tour may include:

  • Pickup from your Sydney accommodation

  • Scenic coastal drive south of Sydney

  • Kiama Blowhole, where powerful waves force sea spray high into the air

  • The Little Blowhole, another impressive natural sea cave nearby

  • Walking among the basalt columns at Bombo Headland

  • The striking volcanic formations at Cathedral Rocks

  • Coastal views from Minnamurra Lookout, overlooking the Minnamurra River and Stack Island

  • Crossing the dramatic Sea Cliff Bridge, one of Australia’s most spectacular coastal drives

Flexible Afternoon Options

Later in the day the tour can adapt depending on your interests.

Some guests choose to visit Symbio Wildlife Park, where Australian animals including kangaroos, koalas and wallabies can be seen up close.

Others prefer to explore the nearby Royal National Park, where we can take a relaxed rainforest walk through lush coastal forest.

The day often concludes with a stop at Wattamolla, a beautiful lagoon, waterfall and beach set within the national park.
