Tour Options
Itinerary
Drive down past the Royal National Park, the oldest national park in Australia. You'll stop at Stanwell Tops for stunning views over the spectacular rugged Southern Coastline.
Jutting out from the cliff face and majestically sweeping over the waters of the Pacific, this is one of the South Coast’s most photogenic experiences. You will take the short 15 minute walk, look down into the crystal clear aqua waters and you might see one of the massive manta rays which are prevalent in the area.
ou'll enjoy a morning tea stop (at own expense) at the boutique township of Thirroul. This charming area is popular for its beautiful beaches, magnificent views, buzzing café culture and thriving artistic community. Thirroul is where English writer D.H. Lawrence wrote much of his novel “Kangaroo” in 1922.
The natural rock formation routinely spouts sea water 20 meters into the air. This beautiful town is rich with seaside history and sports an impressive lighthouse dating from the 1880’s.
Visit this delightful township and stroll the boutique stores or enjoy a stop at one of the trendy cafes.
You'll have the option of savoring a café lunch (at own expense) while looking out over the panoramic views across nearby farmlands, the Shoalhaven River and out over the South Coast beaches, right up and down the east coast. The lookout provides 145km of incredible views and is 678 meters (2,225ft) above sea level.
Take a scenic drive on the South Coast as you travel from the top of Cambewarra Mountain to the delightful Kangaroo Valley, claimed by many to be the most beautiful valley in Australia.
Stroll along the rain forest track to very top of these falls. This is a spectacular national park experience. In addition to the sight of the magnificent waterfall, you may be able to hear lyrebirds singing on the track. This native bird is noted for its unusual ability to mimic both natural and artificial sounds from its environment.

Beautiful scenery, excellent communication, knowledgeable guides, very flexible, clean vehicles, smooth booking process.
It is a great way to see the countryside and the variety of housing. And some kangaroos. Also the Blue Mountains
We took this tour the day we returned from a cruise. Glenn picked us and our luggage up at the cruise port and dropped us off at our hotel after the tour. This tour covered a lot of ground outside the city. We enjoyed the tour and Glenn was absolutely accommodating doing his best to make sure we saw everything we asked about. He was informative and friendly. We had a great tour.
My husband and I thoroughly enjoyed our full day tour of Sydney and area with Matt. He selected 2 amazing places to dine, Bills Restaurant in Bondi Beach for breakfast and the new Sydney Fish Market for lunch. Matt was very pleasant and professional. He expertly guided us around Sydney both by car and on foot. We felt we got a lot out of our time with him and would highly recommend him to anyone visiting Sydney for the first time.
It was a wonderful experience! Visiting the south coast was absolutely beautiful. We had a great tour guide. Thanks

Julian was the best tour guide! Very attentive to us and we felt like we were life long friends! The tour was wonderful with so many beautiful places to see outside of Sydney. Highly recommend! A must-do!
Charlie was an outstanding host during our tour. We were truly impressed by his extensive knowledge of Australia, especially considering he's originally from Austria. His broad travel experience enriched our understanding, and we learned so much from him. We shared wonderful conversations over coffee, where his cheerful yet attentive nature shone through. Charlie went above and beyond to ensure our trip to the Southern Highlands was unforgettable. We only wish we had met him earlier and had the chance to explore the Blue Mountains together. Short trips like these often lead to cherished memories and lasting friendships. Charlie is truly a gem, and words can't fully capture the joy of our experience.
Hi Suvalaxmi Wow, that truly is an amazing review and we are so happy you had a wonderful day out with Charlie! He certainly knows his stuff about Australia and it makes us very happy to hear great reviews about him like yours. Thanks for taking the time to review your private South Coast to Country tour and we hope you have a great trip around Australia Steve Arnerich Runaway Tours. Australia
