Bouddi Wildflower Walk
Explore the bush and the bay of Bouddi Peninsula during wildflower season
This small-group walking adventure takes you through lesser-known parts of Bouddi National Park and the seaside villages of Killcare, Pretty Beach and Wagstaffe.
Your walk begins by ascending through towering angophora forest that comes alive with colourful wildflowers in spring and summer, including the Flannel Flower or ‘Federation Star’ – chosen as the New South Wales floral emblem for the Centenary of Federation (1901-2001). As the eucalypts disappear, lower heathland and coastal vegetation provide endless photo opportunities of the commanding views which stretch as far as Sydney on a clear day. After your descent you’ll enjoy a light lunch at a local café and then it’s a gentle meander back to Wagstaffe.
Hawkesbury River-Mouth Walk
The Hawkesbury River-Mouth Walk is a three-day, three-night escape that’s the Goldilocks of walks, designed to be unhurried, immersive, and beautifully balanced, with time to swim, sail and unwind.
This lodge-based walk is for people who are curious about spending time in nature, but don’t feel the need to push themselves or perform in it. The pace is gentle, the group is small, and there is space to pause, adjust, and settle into the rhythm of the coast.
Wander through wildflowers to a secluded beach for sunset snacks and a swim; traverse the most scenic sections of the Bouddi Coastal Walk; sail the Hawkesbury River to explore hidden bays; and finish with a cliff-top walk high above the river-mouth. All with enough downtime to enjoy the beach, a spa treatment or restorative yoga — and all just 90 minutes from Sydney.
