Whale Watching & Wine Tasting with Picture Me Sydney

Located along Australia’s picturesque Kiama south coast, Picture Me Sydney offers a compelling day tour that merges rugged coastal beauty, abundant marine life, and premier local wines all in one seamless outdoor adventure. Just south of Sydney, Kiama’s dramatic shoreline is defined by its iconic blowhole, sweeping beaches, and the fertile vineyards that thrive in this temperate climate. Picture Me Sydney's carefully curated journey begins with a whale watching cruise departing from Shell Harbour, where guests scan the ocean for migrating humpbacks and southern right whales, encounters that turn any trip into a storytelling moment.

Beyond the marine spectacle, the tour delves into the region’s rich viticultural scene. Pausing at a local vineyard, travelers savor a selection of distinctive wines—each glass offering a taste of the south coast’s terroir. Lunch follows at a nearby café, serving fresh, locally sourced fare that complements the day’s sensory palette. The route then winds toward Kiama’s famous blowhole, a naturally sculpted feature where ocean swells powerfully erupt through basalt rock, a raw example of coastal geology in action.

As daylight fades, Picture Me Sydney brings guests to a serene Shoalhaven beach, setting the stage for uninterrupted stargazing under clear southern skies. The experience emphasizes quiet reflection alongside natural theater—the rush of waves, the faint glow of the Milky Way, and a slow settling into night.

What sets this company apart is the blend of curated comfort and intimacy paired with authentic local landscapes rarely accessible in a single day. With small group sizes and personalized options, Picture Me Sydney uniquely connects visitors to the coastal ecology, cultural heritage, and gourmet flavors of this water-lapping corner of New South Wales. The carefully timed itinerary makes this tour a flagship experience for those seeking depth beyond the city’s edges.
