Private Royal National Park Day Tour — Wedding Cake Rock, Wattamolla & Coastal Walks
Spend a private day in Royal National Park exploring Wedding Cake Rock, Wattamolla lagoon, coastal heath and rainforest. This flexible tour mixes cliff-top viewpoints, quiet beaches and wildlife stops with local history and geology.
The Experience
Before You Go
Bring sturdy footwear
Coastal track sections include uneven rock platforms, sandy trails and stairs—supportive hiking shoes improve traction and comfort.
Hydrate and carry water
Refillable water bottles are necessary for a long day in sun and wind; guides provide brief stops but not continuous water access.
Sun and wind protection
A broad-brim hat, sunscreen and a windproof layer matter more than you think on exposed cliff tops and beaches.
Choose your walk length
The private format lets you opt for longer hikes (Eagle Rock, Marley Beach) or minimal walking—tell your guide your pace and mobility limits early.

Conservation Note
Visitors are asked to stay on marked tracks to protect fragile coastal heath and dune systems and to carry out all rubbish to preserve the park’s ecosystems.
