Kiama and Kangaroos: South Coast Day Trip from Sydney via Sea Cliff Bridge
Select participants and date
You step out of Sydney’s glare and into a different rhythm: the engine hums, gulls pick at the horizon and the air tastes of salt and eucalyptus. The first real view opens on the Grand Pacific Drive — the ribbon of road unfurls over the Sea Cliff Bridge, a white-arched walkway that leans out over the Pacific as if daring the swell to climb higher.

Adventure Tips
Wear sturdy shoes
Boardwalks and sandstone ledges can be slippery; choose shoes with good grip for short cliffside walks.
Sun and wind protection
Coastal exposure is intense — wear a brimmed hat, sunglasses and SPF-rated sunscreen even on cloudy days.
Bring a compact zoom
Wildlife is best photographed from a distance; a 70–200mm equivalent will capture kangaroos and birdlife without disturbing them.
Timing for the blowhole
Ask your guide about tide times — high swell and incoming tides produce the most dramatic spouts at Kiama.
