About This Experience

Murramarang National Park – South Coast NSW – Batemans Bay

Experience one of the worlds signature walks. Magnificent beaches, intricate geological patterns and amazing forest on this three day guided coastal walk along the breathtaking South Coast of NSW – Australia.

Walking with only a day pack, you will complete a one way “through walk” of 35 km over 3 days. This is a truly supported walk, you can enjoy relative weightless walking and be sure that your overnight baggage arrives at your beautiful beachfront villa every evening.

With optional side hikes, yummy food, a kayak option, ample time to enjoy a peaceful morning on the beach or tuck into that book you bring along, this is destined to become one of Australia’s great walks.

We also throw in some bubbly on arrival to your villa on day 1!

Day 1 – Off Trail

Be greeted at your hotel by your hiking guides, we load your overnight baggage into the van, and enjoy a transfer into the southern end of the park. With only your day packs (BYO or available for use from Region X) we commence the hike along forested trails along some incredible cliff top vantage points where wildlife viewing such as Whale watching is very special treat anytime from June – November.

Beaches such as North Head beach, Honeysuckle, Myrtle, Oakey and Richmond all connect through forested trails that rise over headlands and emerge as subtle paths onto sandy shores. Any of these form great resting and lunch stops (supplied en-route).

Conglomerate rock visibly ends and gives way to the most southern point of the Sydney Sandstone basin after lunch where visitors walk the varied layers of sandstone through cracks and coves to your first night accommodation.

Check in to your twin share beachfront villa, champagne on the deck and enjoy the comfort of afternoon tea and later dinner at the onsite restaurant.

Day 2 - Crossing the border

Post breakfast we load your overnight baggage into our vehicle transfer and set off along the beach. Cookies beach ends in a short rock scramble prior to setting off on the long open stretch of Durras Main beach. If we are lucky we can spot dolphins in the surf and daily new flotsam on the beach. Durras Lake enters the ocean half way along the sand where a river wade ensures we reach the other side. Here you will cross the border from 1 shire to another.

The Lake is an Intermittent Closed or Open Lake System (ICOL) your guides will have advice on whether to expect a river crossing at the entrance or you may find the lake system closed, meaning the long stretch of unbroken beach remains. The northern end of the beach is a great spot to rest prior to the uphill rainforest hike over Point Upright, a dominant sea cliff where a side hike with views into the pacific is recommended. We arrive at Depot beach around lunch time, one of the coasts remnant loggers camps, now an exclusive holiday destination. Here kangaroos are tame and incredible birdlife enjoys the climate.

Settle in to your villa accommodation and the afternoon rest.

Day 2 - Kayak Option

If the conditions permit, we offer a kayak section of the coast on day 2, here you will receive a different view of the beach and cliff sections.
We use comfortable stable double sea kayaks for the journey and arrive at Depot beach for lunch.
Should anyone in the group wish to kayak the day 2 walk section, your guides will discuss the options over day 1.

Day 3 - Rainforest and rock platform

After breakfast leave the comfort of your villa and stroll off along the trail to iconic Pebbly Beach where resident Kangoroos and found fame as visitors come to photograph them lazing on the beach in true Australian style. The beach is also a popular surf spot and one of the prettiest beaches on the South Coast.

The trail winds over ridges and down to beaches, creeks meet the ocean here as the dominant Durras Mountain (the largest mountain in the area) provides a watershed and pockets of rainforest relish with the moisture. The views to the ocean are amazing and the rock platforms are all individually striking. Spend time discovering the beauty of the landscape and checking out fossilised remains.

With lunch along the way, we spend the day discovering an almost different National Park as compared to the first days. As the afternoon continues there is little wonder why the end location is called Pretty Beach, a striking white sand and rainforest location you end your hike at the National Parks office.

Transport will collect you and take you back to your Batemans Bay Hotel of Choice at approximately 3pm.
