Nature Connection Guided Walk – Royal National Park – Balconies of Bundeena

Step off the Cronulla ferry and into the wild beauty of the Royal National Park. Join us for a gentle and enriching guided walk in the stunning coastal village of Bundeena, just a scenic ferry ride from Cronulla. This guided walk is an opportunity to slow down, connect with nature, and explore the hidden beauty of the Royal National Park.

Led by a Certified Forest Therapy Guide, you’ll be gently guided along quiet trails and secluded coastal paths. Along the way, you’ll engage in simple sensory, creative, and movement-based nature connection practices, designed to deepen your experience of the natural world.

This is not a hike, but a moderate walk with some stairs and inclines – perfect for those looking to increase their step count without strenuous activity.

• Nature lovers
• Visitors seeking eco-tourism or slow travel experiences
• Locals and day trippers from Sydney or Cronulla
• Groups looking for a gentle experience in nature

• Anyone curious about forest therapy and nature-based wellbeing

This walk offers a gentle yet immersive journey through:

• Quiet forest trails and secluded bush paths
• Coastal heathlands and old growth eucalyptus forests
• The stunning Balconies of Bundeena – a 180° clifftop view over the Tasman Sea, perfect for spotting whales, dolphins, or seals (season permitting June to November)

The walk will gently conclude with tea and light refreshments, shared in good company and surrounded by the sounds of nature. A moment to pause, reflect, and let the experience settle
