Waves Waterfalls and Wineries Full-Day Southern Highlands Private Tour

About this tour

A 10-hour private loop south of Sydney weaving through coastal parks, up the escarpment, and into the Southern Highlands. Your guide navigates you past dramatic clifftop views, through temperate rainforest, and into wine country—a varied route designed for travellers seeking quieter corners rather than standard circuits. Hotel and port pickups included; bring your own lunch or eat en route.

• National park passage and rainforest canopy
• Escarpment climb through changing landscapes

What to expect

You'll leave Sydney early and climb steadily inland. Expect a mix of sealed lookouts, short walks through protected bushland, and stretches of driving with running commentary from your guide. The landscape shifts from coastal scrub to dense forest canopy as altitude increases. By mid-morning you'll reach the Highlands plateau—cooler, greener, dotted with vineyards and small towns. Stops are flexible; your guide reads the group's pace. Weather can swing quickly at altitude, so layering matters. Lunch happens at a venue you choose (not included); the guide can suggest spots.

Good to know

Wear closed shoes and weatherproof jacket. Pack a hat and sunscreen. Bring your own food or budget for cafés and restaurants. Wine purchases are yours to arrange. All-weather operation means occasional rain; it rarely stops play. Wheelchair access available on request at booking.
