Itinerary

1. Horderns Beach
Our first stop gives us a feel for life in Bundeena. This small town located within the national park has an old style wharf in front of picturesque Horderns Beach.
Duration: 15 mins
2. Wedding Cake Rock
Enjoy a walk on the Royal National Park Coastal Track and admire breathtaking cliff and ocean views. We will see The Cobblers, Balconies and the Waterrun as we head through coastal heath land to Wedding Cake Rock. There will be a number of short stops to discuss native plants (banksia, grass trees, gymea lilies) and wildflowers. In the course of the walk an overview will be provided of some of the wildlife found in the Royal National Park and its geological formations. Upon reaching Wedding Cake Rock it is time to take in the stunning view of majestic white sandstone against the blue Pacific Ocean. It is not very often that you will see a rock that looks like a piece of wedding cake!
Duration: 120 mins
3. Marley Beach
There is the option of going a little further beyond Wedding Cake Rock and enjoying one of the most delightful and underrated beaches in the Royal National Park, Marley Beach. This beach rarely has more than a few people on it and has a sweeping coastal heathland backdrop. Behind the beach are large sand dunes and a pristine natural lagoon.
Duration: 45 mins
4. Wattamolla
Wattamolla is an aboriginal word meaning place near falling water. It is a unique place with a waterfall fed by Cootes Creek dropping into a large lagoon. The waterfall drops for around 10 metres into the lagoon which then meanders to Wattamolla Beach. In the warmer months both the lagoon and beach are popular swimming spots. If interested in swimming, take your pick, freshwater or salt water! It is a beautiful place and one of the highlights of the trip. We also have the option of a short 15 minute walk. Your day your call on the walk!
