Jervis Bay Private Tour with Pick-Up and Drop-Off
Crystal-clear waters, white sands, and wild encounters along the New South Wales South Coast
This full-day private tour to Jervis Bay takes you from Sydney through some of the most celebrated coastal scenery in New South Wales, combining natural landmarks, cultural stops, and direct access to the marine park. The route is designed for travellers who want a curated, unhurried experience without the logistics of self-driving. Difficulty is rated Easy, making it suitable for a wide range of fitness levels.
Departing from your Sydney pick-up point, the journey south follows the Grand Pacific Drive corridor, pausing at elevated lookouts and seaside towns before reaching the marine park. Each stop has been selected to offer a distinct experience, from geological formations to sacred architecture, keeping the pace varied rather than rushed.
The return leg brings the day full circle via Sea Cliff Bridge and the Royal National Park, offering a final stretch of scenic coastline before arriving back in Sydney. The combination of included admissions, door-to-door transfers, and a knowledgeable guide means every logistical detail is handled for you.

Visit Nan Tien Temple in Wollongong, the largest Buddhist temple in the Southern Hemisphere, set against serene landscaped grounds.
Take in panoramic Pacific Ocean views from Sublime Point Lookout above the Illawarra Escarpment in Bulli.

Itinerary
High above the Illawarra Escarpment, this lookout delivers sweeping views over the Pacific Ocean, rolling forest canopy, and coastal towns stretching south. A cafe and gelato store on-site provide a comfortable first rest stop before continuing the journey.
The largest Buddhist temple in the Southern Hemisphere, whose name translates to "Southern Paradise", sits in the foothills of Wollongong and welcomes visitors for cultural and spiritual reflection. The architecture is elaborate and the grounds are carefully maintained, offering a calm contrast to the coastal scenery.
The Kiama Blowhole, formed by volcanic activity and best viewed at high tide, can send seawater surging up to 30 metres skyward. From Kiama the tour continues to Huskisson Beach, the main hub of Jervis Bay, where waterfront cafes and boutique shops line the foreshore.
Board a chartered vessel with more than three decades of local experience to observe resident bottlenose dolphin pods in their natural habitat. Whale watching is available seasonally from May onward, and all admission fees are covered within this tour.
Hyams Beach offers powdery white sand ideal for swimming, snorkelling, and paddleboarding inside the marine park boundary. A nearby secret campground in Booderee National Park is home to wild kangaroos that move freely and remain calm around visitors.
The drive back north crosses the suspended Sea Cliff Bridge, a 665-metre engineering landmark along the Grand Pacific Drive with unobstructed ocean views. The route then passes through the Royal National Park before completing the return to your Sydney pick-up point.
