Australia & New Zealand Holidays is a subsidiary of the Travelcation Group
The Royal National Park Walk offers a stunning immersion into one of Australia’s oldest and most beautiful national parks. Just south of Sydney, the Coast Track unfolds across 26 kilometres of dramatic coastal cliffs, ancient rock formations and lush subtropical rainforest. This guided, Pack Free walk brings to life the full diversity of the park’s environments, while offering the comfort of light day packs and quality accommodation each night.
Over two walking days, the trail leads through a blend of sandstone escarpments, open heathland and cool rainforest, including the iconic Palm Jungle. Sweeping ocean views appear around every bend, with frequent stops at lagoons, waterfalls and rock platforms. The trail also passes ancient Aboriginal carvings, a reminder of the deep cultural history woven through the landscape.
Wildlife is abundant along the way, from sea eagles and honeyeaters to wallabies and seasonal whale sightings. The walk is led by experienced guides who offer insight into the local flora, fauna and geology, enriching each section of the track with context and knowledge.
Evenings are spent at the coastal Headlands Hotel, where guests enjoy a peaceful setting and a la carte dining with Australian wine. With transfers and meals included, this walk allows guests to focus on the scenery and the experience.
This is a close-to-home adventure that feels far away. With its wild cliffs, rich heritage and relaxed pace, the Royal National Park Walk is a refreshing way to reconnect with nature and explore the coastline just beyond Sydney.

Self-Guided Packages – Terms & Conditions
Our Self-Guided Packages are designed for travellers who want the freedom to explore independently, without the hassle of planning every detail. Each package follows a tried-and-tested itinerary that includes a combination of pre-booked services, such as accommodation and transport, and optional group tours or private experiences. You’ll have the flexibility to discover each destination at your own pace, with the confidence of having essential logistics taken care of and access to local support if needed.
Accommodation Flexibility
We understand that every traveller has different needs, so our itineraries offer flexibility in accommodation. You can choose from a range of hotels, from 3-star options to luxury 5-star properties, in most locations. If your first-choice hotel is not available at the time of booking, we will offer you an alternative of similar standard, quality, and location.
Travellers are welcome to customise their accommodation preferences before confirming their booking. If you’re unsure about the best options for your travel style, our team is happy to recommend alternatives.
Booking On Request
All packages are offered on request basis. In most cases, a deposit may be required before we can secure accommodation and services.
Once we receive your deposit and booking enquiry, we aim to confirm your package within 24 hours (longer if weekends or public holidays apply).
If your preferred travel dates are not available, we’ll suggest the closest alternatives or offer a full refund of your deposit.
Dynamic Pricing
Many of our accommodation providers and local suppliers use dynamic pricing models, which means prices fluctuate depending on factors such as demand, travel seasons, and availability.
Our listed “from” prices represent the lowest available rates based on low season travel with full availability. When you request a quote for your preferred travel dates, we’ll provide an accurate, up-to-date price based on availability at the time of quoting.
Prices may vary between the time we provide a quote and when you confirm your booking. Should there be any price differences, we will notify you before final confirmation and payment.
Itinerary Order & Availability
The order of your itinerary, including accommodation, tours, and transport, may be adjusted to secure the best availability and ensure a smooth travel experience. While we strive to follow the proposed itinerary as closely as possible, changes may be necessary, particularly during peak travel periods or when bookings are made close to your departure date.
For bookings made well in advance and outside of peak seasons, itinerary changes are uncommon. Any adjustments will be communicated to you in advance and are made with the aim of maintaining or improving the overall experience.
The final itinerary—including the order of your activities and accommodations—will be confirmed after your booking is secured.
