Sydney: Royal National Park Hike, Swim, Picnic, Max 7 Guests

This is a GREAT tour for people who want to get out in nature, see beautiful things, and actually hike (ie not just get off at viewpoints to snap a photo. Sabina is a fantastic guide and knew where to take us that wasn't clogged with other tourists. She shared interesting information was very friendly and engaging. I loved everything we did, and would highly recommend Sabina and this tour to those that want to hike near Sydney!

This tour is one-of-a-kind. Sabina has made something really special with the curation she puts into these private tours. I wouldn’t have been able to see Royal National Park the same way without her in-depth knowledge. She skillfully blends rest and activity so you end the day recharged and relaxed!

The best excursion I have been on. RNP is absolutely gorgeous. Sabina is passionate, has great energy and is always making sure you have a great time. Do this

A wonderful private tour with Beyond Guidebook. Our guide was absolutely fantastic and very accommodating and helpful. We can highly recommend this tour to anyone who wants a unique and special experience.

What a wonderful day ! Thanks a lot !

I thoroughly enjoyed the tour. From hikes among trees to walks on beaches, I experienced the best the park had to offer.

Our day with Beyond Guidebook Australia was hands-down the highlight of our trip. If you want to see Sydney beyond the guidebook, you absolutely have to book this tour. Instead of a rigid tour bus, it truly felt like traveling with a friend. The relaxed, flexible itinerary and thoughtful pacing meant we never felt rushed, allowing us to completely escape the tourist crowds. We loved exploring the stunning Royal National Park, walking through pristine national parks to discover secluded beaches and hidden lagoons. If you want a deeply personalised experience away from the usual traps, do yourself a favor and book with Beyond Guidebook Australia!

Royal National Park is in a word-magical! We were blown away by the beauty of the park, the wildlife, the coast. We were blessed to see humpback whales and double rainbows. Sabina is an amazing guide, providing tidbits of history throughout the trip and sharing her wonderful, easy-going vibe. She safely drove us around and we couldn't have been more pleased with the day she planned for us. We COULD NOT have had this experience without her!! We had some challenges with the weather, but the rainbows most definitely made it worth it! We had a wonderful lunch at a local cafe. We ended the trip at Symbio Wildlife Park where we fed kangaroos and were super close to koalas. Trust me when I say, you should book this experience! My husband and I love to hike and be outdoors, so this was the perfect way to experience Australia's beautiful scenery and national park without being too far from Sydney. 10 out of 10!!!!

Great tour with Sabina,and one of the few that goes to Royal National Park! Easy pickup and drop off, beautiful park lookouts and photo ops, delicious lunch! She even took photos and sent them to us afterwards which made the day easier! The only caveat is that if, like me, you aren’t I the best shape, it’s a bit of a trek, but it was still worth it! She also customized it to include or not include Symbio sanctuary since some travelers may have already been to see the wildlife already which I appreciated!

I had a wonderful experience with Beyond Guidebook to the Royal National Park. Our guide, Sabina, was friendly, knowledgeable, and made the whole day enjoyable. She shared helpful information, gave us enough time at each stop. The scenery was stunning, and the food and coffee stops were also really good. I would highly recommend this tour to anyone who wants a relaxing and memorable day trip from Sydney.

We had such an amazing experience with Sabina! From the moment we met her, she was incredibly friendly, knowledgeable and made the entire day feel relaxed and enjoyable rather than rushed. She took us to some breathtaking locations that we would never have discovered on our own, shared interesting local stories, and made sure everyone was comfortable throughout the tour. Her passion for Sydney and the surrounding national parks really shines through. As a bonus, Sabina also captured beautiful photos of us during the trip and sent them through afterwards, which was such a thoughtful touch and means we have wonderful memories to look back on. If you’re looking for a small-group tour that’s personal, well-organised and full of hidden gems, I highly recommend booking with Sabina and Beyond Guidebook. Thank you again for such a memorable experience!

We love this tour with Sabina, she is such an easy going guide. She prepared everything in advance. She is also very punctual in time. Took good care of my parents as they can't really walk much. She was very attentive to everything we asked. Eventually she was more like a friend than a guide. The tour itself is very chill and not rushing. You have plenty of time to do everything without rushing at all. We had a fun day with Sabina.

what a wonderful day! Sabina has created a flexible itinerary that allows the people on the tour to get what they want out of the experience, while visiting some seriously awesome locations. Along the way Sabina shared interesting facts about the locations and kept me interested, excited and engaged throughout. I was surprised by the amount of things we were able to do, while the itinerary felt relaxed, well planned and efficient. Some of my favorite moments were seeing several whales wandering along the coast, all the fun birds we heard and saw, and the koalas at Symbio (seriously, what a great place!). I highly recommend this tour, and will be booking more with Sabina when I return to Sydney.

Went on a tour with Sabina via Getyourguide! Mum and I were very appreciative: it was def a highlight of our Sydney trip. Lunch wasn't very protein heavy but hummus was yummy and guide was attentive throughout ❤️

Sabina is great person and guide! I had a wonderful time with her, very open and fun person. It seemed that I was with friend because she makes you feel so comfortable. She took us to an amazing and beautiful landscape in the royal national park. I definitely recommend her ! I’ll try to book another tour with her.

Our day with Sabina was incredible, from pick up at our hotel, to drop off at the end of the day. She tailored to day to our interests. We love hiking and being outdoors. Her knowledge of wildlife and fauna added so much to our adventure. Little touches like a coffee and coconut cookie in the morning to a charming picnic lunch, snack on a beautiful overlook, made our day so memorable. speaking of memorable, within a couple hours we received her wonderful photos. I try to take lots of photos but to have so many photos that are not selfies of our day will help us relive our amazing day forever. Thank you Sabina for an incredible Aussie adventure. We will always carry Sabina in our hearts and hope our paths cross again. I highly recommend this tour.

Fantastic experience that provided an escape from the busy city life of Sydney. We were able to see some spectacular views through an enjoyable hike followed by a carefully prepared lunch consisting of local cheeses and crackers. I recommend this excursion without hesitation ! I also booked a separate excursion with the same tour company a day later to experience a different hike through the Ku-ring-gai Chase National Park. As fabulous and enjoyable. You will not be disappointed.

Everything about our day with Sabina was fabulous! Extremely recommend this hike!!!

Phenomenal experience! Sabina our host and guide was knowledgeable and very helpful providing us with umbrellas when it rained. We were lucky the sun came out in the afternoon when we arrived at the waterfall, river and beach for a swim The food was delicious, we devoured it all Highly recommend!

Amazing day Sabina was well organised well planed for the day despite the weather conditions she made the day amazing from the forest walk to the picnic then the swim wow all covered in one day amazing. Grateful for today and looking forward to booking again soon thank you 🙏

We were happy with our day and experience with Beyond Guidebook Australia

We had an outstanding experience with Sabina. She is deeply knowledgeable about Australian culture, geography, and local wildlife. Communication was excellent; she reached out prior to the tour to ensure we were well-prepared. Sabina was also very mindful of our physical needs, adjusting the pace of the day to keep everyone comfortable. Exploring unfamiliar terrain can be intimidating, but her expertise made us feel completely safe and relaxed. Our family highly recommends her services!

Thank you Sabina!! Sabina is a fantastic tour guide. She is very knowledgable about the area and planned a perfect hiking tour experience. The hiking and views were great and I would not have been able to get there on my own. Everything was first class -- even the snacks at the picnic. It was the highlight of my visit to Sydney and I would do it again with her as a guide in a heartbeat.

Lovely day! Sabina was fun to talk to, a smooth driver, and knew how to pack some of Royal’s best sights into one day. We saw many of Southern Sydney suburbs, beautiful cliffs and rock formations on the way to the wedding cake rock, a beach/lagoon, a wildlife park with active Koalas and Wallabees, a scenic overlook on Bald hill, and the famous south coast bridge all in a few hours

Great time with Sabina! She is always friendly and passionate to answer our questions. We spent a great time in Royal National Park.

We had a day trip with Sabina and I have to tell you that this experience was incredible! Not only the places she took us but also answering our million questions, making sure we are safe and having a great time! Absolutely enjoyed it!

The communication with Sabina, snacks provided (healthy!!) and the hike itself (good pace, distance, scenery and chat) and the choice of activities (hike > snack/beach > sanctuary/views are great! Sabina is approachable and has a great personality. The car ride was smooth and my mum and I enjoyed. Do not hesitate to book a tour with Sabina!

This tour was so much fun. Sabina was so kind and customized our itinerary because the weather wasn’t ideal for our planned day. We had a great experience and highly recommend this tour.

Sabina is incredibly charismatic, professional, and fun to talk to. The locations she took us to were all incredible, the r lunches she put together amazing, and she took plenty of pictures along the way and shared them after. I had an amazing time and highly recommend Beyond Guidebook!

Sabina was an incredible guide. She was incredibly knowledgeable about all the options for hiking, swimming and seeing animals in a safe environment. The lunch she brought was healthy and good protein to keep us energized. My trip was more amazing than I could imagine and her guidance made it so enjoyable. She is world class!!!

Sabina did a great job getting to know me and tailoring the tour to my interests, which were hiking and seeing wildlife. She is very easy to talk to, personable and knowledgeable about the National Park. We found a great overlook along the coast for a nice picnic lunch. She also took videos and photos that she shared after the trip.

it was soo good. Sabina and I had such a good time together and she helped me to see a lot of the australian culture and nature. The hike to the Royal weeding cake outlook was amazing and also the short drives to Wattamolla beach, symbio wildlife park and two other spots were so great. The spots as well!. All in all it was one of the best days here in Australia. I would go on this trip to 100% again especially with Sabina

Had such a great day on this tour! Sabina was super friendly, organised and made the whole experience really fun. The hike was beautiful, the picnic was delicious, and the swimming spot she took us to was stunning. Sabina created such a relaxed vibe and made sure everyone felt included. Highly recommend this day trip!

I recently visited Royal national park with friends and we had an absolutely wonderful experience. The scenery was breathtaking, easy hike and we loved swimming there!!! Picking area was clean with beautiful view. Highly recommend!!

I loved this experience. It’s been something I’ve been meaning to do and it was perfect. The day felt effortless, Sabina was an excellent host and guide. Being in nature with a small group made everything feel personal and relaxed. I didn’t realise how much I needed to experience nature in this way. I felt calm and the group was perfect. We were from all walks of life, yet nature has this ability to bring you all together. We had the best conversations, we laughed and connected. There’s something about sharing real moments outdoors that just sticks with you. This isn’t a tour, it’s a shared adventure that leaves you feeling a little lighter, more present, and genuinely connected. I highly recommend and will be doing more experiences like this!
