Southern Sydney Coastal Rainforest

TOUR ITINERARY:

+ Farm Tour: The Southern Highlands is famous for its many beautiful farms. Guests have 3 farm options to choose from, depending on the season and personal preferences.

Option 1: Bendooley Estate Farm: Discover an artistic lifestyle in a beautiful countryside setting. Visit a charming little bookshop, enjoy a glass of wine and spend some relaxing time reading a book surrounded by the peaceful atmosphere of the highlands. This is also a wonderful opportunity to capture artistic and romantic photos. (Free farm tour – no admission fee required.)

Option 2: Bowral Honey Farm: Guests will be welcomed by the farm owners and invited to enjoy morning tea with honey in a European style. Put on the protective clothing provided by the farm and join the owners for a guided tour to discover the beekeeping process and experience honey harvesting firsthand. Before leaving, guests can also purchase a variety of honey products that are beneficial to health. (Farm tour admission fee applies.)

Option 3: Pine Ridge Miniature Farm: Guests will enjoy an exciting farm tour on a tractor-pulled trailer. The farm owner will introduce the many different animals living on the property, including sheep, emus, horses and, especially, the adorable miniature donkeys. Guests can personally feed the donkeys and sheep, gently pat them and take photos with these lovely animals. This special experience is particularly attractive to families with young children. (Farm tour admission fee applies.)

+ Fitzroy Falls: There are two waterfalls here: Fitzroy Falls and Twin Falls. Guests will enjoy a short walk through the rainforest, breathing in the fresh air of the highlands. Suddenly, the scenery opens up to reveal magnificent and impressive mountain views. In the middle of the highlands, a spectacular waterfall cascades hundreds of metres down into the valley below.

+ Fresh Oyster Farm: Leaving the highlands behind, our group will head towards the beautiful coastline. This famous oyster farm is well known for producing exceptionally high-quality oysters and winning the award for "World's Best Oyster". Visitors travel from many places to enjoy the fresh seafood here. Among them, freshly shucked oysters with lemon are the most important speciality that everyone should try. Guests will have the opportunity to taste some of the world's finest oysters beside the jetty, while watching local fishermen harvest fresh oysters directly from the lagoon. Experience the difference for yourself compared to ordinary oysters. These oysters have a wonderfully crunchy texture, with a naturally sweet, rich and creamy flavour. Besides oysters, there are also many varieties of fresh seafood, simply prepared to preserve their natural freshness and delicious flavours. Guests can enjoy their seafood with delicious, freshly toasted garlic bread.

+ Kiama Blowhole: Kiama is a famous coastal tourist town, with romantic scenery, beautiful blue skies and clear ocean views. Visiting Kiama in the afternoon, guests will admire the white waves crashing against the rocky cliffs. The most impressive attraction is certainly the famous blowhole, where powerful ocean waves shoot spectacular columns of water tens of metres into the air, making visitors burst into excitement. This is definitely an unforgettable attraction that many guests continue to admire, even after visiting many times.

+ Southern Gateway: The final destination of our journey is a scenic rest stop at the top of the southern mountain pass. After a full day of exciting experiences, guests can relax before heading back, enjoy a refreshing ice cream and admire the beautiful panoramic views of Wollongong's coastline stretching out towards the ocean. Guests can also learn more about marine life and the fascinating migration journey of whales.
