What’s included in the tour price?

You’ll finish the day star-gazing by the sea. It’s not just a tour—it’s a beautifully choreographed escape from the city into nature, flavor, and wonder.

Why is this tour more expensive than other day trips from Sydney?

Because it’s not a bus tour with strangers—it’s a bespoke, all-inclusive private journey that offers three unforgettable experiences in one day : whale watching, wine tasting, and star gazing. You’re guided by passionate locals who take care of every detail and deliver an experience you’ll remember for a lifetime, not just another checkbox on a sightseeing list.

Families love the whales and beach time, while older guests appreciate the relaxed vineyard setting and stargazing experience. Child and infant seats are available upon request to ensure everyone is safe and comfortable.

What if we don’t see any whales?

Whale sightings are highly likely during the tour’s seasonal window (May–September), but nature can’t be guaranteed. That said, the coastal cruise is still a stunning experience , with views of the cliffs and shoreline that make the trip worthwhile. Plus, the wine, wildlife, and starlit beach finale ensure the day is unforgettable regardless.

How customizable is the tour? Can we skip or swap stops?

Totally flexible. Whether you want extra time at the vineyard, a different café for lunch, or more beach and less blowhole—we’ll design the perfect day to suit your interests, pace, and preferences. This is your private tour, your way.
