What you'll see and do
Bald Hill Lookout
A spectacular spot to get some pics with views all the way down the coast past the famous Sea Cliff Bridge and Wollongong.
30 minutes here
Another beatiful little beach cove with a natural lagoon and a spectacular waterfall spilling into it. This beach can get crowded during peak summer periods due to it popularity but we can get lucky and get it to ourselves at other times.
30 minutes here
Bundeena
A beautiful little beachside town tucked away in the Royal National Park. We have several walks starting from Bundeena and depending on timing sometimes we stop for lunch here.
30 minutes here
Wedding Cake Rock
A medium grade hike to spectacular Wedding Cake Rock. Pure white sandstone cliffs with deep blue waters and waves crashing against the cliffs. You can really feel the force of nature while you are here. Its also a location spot for whale spotting when they are in season. If you choose Weding Cake Rock hike we will have to miss other tour attractions due to the length of the walk.
180 minutes here · Admission included
Symbio Wildlife Park
We can add some time at Symbio Wildlife Park if that is what you want . See koalas, Kangaroos, and many more native and exotic animals. This is one of the best "little" zoos in Australia. You will not be disappointed. If you choose Symbio we may not be able to see all of the listed tour highlights But we can still see the main ones.
120 minutes here · Admission not included
Sea Cliff Bridge
Go for a walk on the iconic Sea Cliff Bridge. Its been used in many TV shows and commercials due to the way it wraps around the rugged coastline. A great spot for more of those memory making holiday snaps.

Brilliant. Unforgettable. Don't miss this.
One of my best experiences ever. So much wild beauty here that you'd fly right over without even knowing it's there, if you didn't get to journey with someone local and Indigenous, like Paul. He made us feel right at home, answering questions, telling stories and giving us space to absorb the majesty and exquisite beauty of the places he took us. He knows these places so well. He's modest and friendly. His relaxed, easy-going way is exactly what you want in a guide. Our party included a couple of older people who were not great walkers. Paul had no problem accommodating our different abilities, as well as the different cultural and language abilities within our group. He's kind. We liked being picked up and driven around. We liked being able to stay as long as we wanted to take photos or to rest and make a memory. We felt safe, well cared for and highly privileged to go to places most travellers to Sydney (and even many locals) never experience. Highly recommended. Maybe the best thing to do I can imagine for any visitor to Sydney.
Response from the operator: Wow thanks for such a fantastic review Nel. I'm so happy you loved your day out. I always do my best to make sure everyone has a day where they can learn something new , experience the Australian bush and have memories that will last a lifetime.

Private tour
My husband and I had a wonderful experience with Paul today. He took us through the Royal National Park and Symbio Wildlife Park. Paul was an excellent guide and driver and showed us unique spots along the way. We hiked a bit of the coastal trail which was amazing and gorgeous. The animals at the wildlife park were adorable and if you love native Australian animals this is a must!!! Great combination of activities. Great guide, highly recommend especially if you want a private/more personalized tur experience.
Response from the operator: Thanks so much for the great review Kristi and yes we did have a fantastic day. Watching you two feeding the kangaroos at Symbio was a highlight.

Beautiful views and fun interactons with wildlife!
We had a great experience with Paul as our guide. He was kind and knowledgeable and flexible. Royal National Park is a beautiful place! The views from the cliffs were gorgeous and we saw numerous humpback whales. We loved seeing the koalas and feeding the kangaroos at Symbio Wildlife Park. Paul has a great sense of humor and my husband and I enjoyed bantering with him. We highly recommend this tour with Paul!
Response from the operator: Thanks so much for the great review Sharyl and yes we did have such a fun time on our tour together. You guys were a pleasure to take out, Look me up if you ever get out this way again.

A wonderful experience viewing nature and wildlife near Sydney, Australia !
This was our first visit to Sydney and we were looking for a way to see more of nature and wildlife so I booked this private tour with Paul. He was a superb guide! He was kind and knowledgeable and showed us all around the beautiful Royal National Park! He knew the names of the birds and plants that I asked him about. He has a great sense of humor and my husband and I enjoyed bantering with him! We also loved seeing the koalas and feeding the kangaroos at Symbio Wildlife Park. We had a wonderful day and highly recommend Paul as a guide!

A #10 day!
We had an amazing tour with Paul. Royal National Park was superb, great hike to Wedding Cake Rock, gorgeous scenery. Beautiful beaches. Even saw a wild echidna digging for ants! Symbio wildlife park was also fun, interacting with kangaroos and seeing the other native Australian animals. Paul was so easy to communicate with as far as customizing our tour. He was fun to be with, very knowledgeable and great driver. If we could give 10 stars, we would.
Response from the operator: Wow what a great review Sharon. Thanks so much and yes we really did have a fantastic fun day didn't we. I hope you guys are enjoying the rest of your trip? Travel safe and look me up if your ever out this way again.

Why this scores 68
The Outty Ranking is a weighted composite. Here is how this experience performed on each component.
Sydney Private Tour Inc The Royal National Park and Symbio Zoo: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Sydney.
How much does Sydney Private Tour Inc The Royal National Park and Symbio Zoo cost?
+
Prices start at $35 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Sydney usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.
How long does Sydney Private Tour Inc The Royal National Park and Symbio Zoo take?
+
Plan for about 8 hours from start to finish, not counting travel to the meeting point. Most travelers leave another 30 minutes on either side so the rest of the day in Sydney is not rushed.
Is Sydney Private Tour Inc The Royal National Park and Symbio Zoo worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 68 out of 100, which we label "Solid Choice". That score blends traveler sentiment (5/5 across 9 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable last minute in Sydney, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.
Can I cancel or reschedule Sydney Private Tour Inc The Royal National Park and Symbio Zoo?
+
Yes. Cancel free up to 24 hours before the start time for a full refund. Inside that window the booking is non-refundable, and no-shows are not refunded.
Is Sydney Private Tour Inc The Royal National Park and Symbio Zoo suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 8-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book Sydney Private Tour Inc The Royal National Park and Symbio Zoo?
+
Around 3 people booked this in the last 30 days, so popular slots go early. Two to three weeks ahead is comfortable in shoulder season, while summer weekends and holidays in Sydney can sell out a month out. Same-day spots do open up when other travelers cancel, so it is worth checking if you are already in town.
What should I bring or wear?
+
Bring photo ID, your booking confirmation on your phone, a refillable water bottle and comfortable shoes. Dress for the weather in Sydney and add a light layer if any part of the 8-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Sydney Private Tour Inc The Royal National Park and Symbio Zoo start and how do I get there?
+
The exact meeting point and directions are on your voucher once you book, and they sit in central Sydney within reach of public transport. Arrive 15 minutes early: late arrivals are treated as no-shows by most operators.
What are the best things to do in Sydney?
+
On Outty we rank every Sydney experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include WILD Wombat and Kangaroo Day Tour, All Inclusive, Depart Syd: Blue Mountains Best All Inclusive with Local Guide, Blue Mountain Small Group Tour All Inclusive. The city page groups everything into most popular, highest reviewed, last minute and family-friendly so you can build a day around what actually delivers.
When is the best time to visit Sydney?
+
Booking patterns follow the same curve: prices and queues climb in peak weeks, while shoulder season gives you better availability on the top-ranked experiences and more room to change plans.
How many days do you need in Sydney?
+
Three full days covers the headline sights without sprinting. A workable rhythm is one anchor experience each morning, such as this one, an unhurried afternoon in a single neighborhood, then a food or nightlife booking in the evening. Five days lets you add a day trip outside the city.
Do I book through Outty or through the operator?
+
Outty ranks and explains the experiences, then hands you to Viator to complete the booking with the operator directly. The price is the same as booking on Viator yourself, and Outty earns an affiliate commission on the referral, which is how the rankings stay free to read.
