Testimonials
An extremely satisfying experience . A combination of rugged coastline , Australian bush, expert guiding and superb organisation resulted in a day to remember. I would thoroughly recommend the walk in the park with Royal Coast Walks. Derril66, Sydney Australia (via TripAdvisor) (May 2011)
This is one of those rare experiences that I’m sooooo glad I did. Royal Coast Walks do a fantastic tour that leaves you feeling more in touch with the true essence of Australia, it’s landscape and it’s history - and those views are just awesome. You’re so close to the Sydney CBD but you feel like you’re miles away from civilization. This is a must do if you plan to visit Sydney - head 30 minutes south and explore this amazing area.

Thank you for a great day, I really enjoyed the coastal hike, one of my best holiday experiences. Jo-Ann, London, England (April 2011)
My 19 year old son and I thoroughly enjoyed our Royal Coast Walk. It was a full day of spectacular scenery and marvelous historical highlights. We will certainly not forget this wonderful outdoor adventure and are pleased to give it our highest recommendation! Julie, Minneapolis, USA (March 2011)
Ian was very knowledgable about the history and importance of the area. The scenery was amazing and the conditions were tough due to the heat. But I would recommend the experience in a heart beat. Melissa, Sydney, Australia (Feb 2011)
Had a fantastic time - Ian was a terrific host, the scenery was spectacular and the set up very well organised and enjoyable. Great campsite and delicious food! Jacqui, Sydney, Australia (Feb 2011)
The experience was simply fantastic. Ian made the difference - bringing everything to life and taking care of us all. His passion for nature has really rubbed off on us. Thank you for a wonderful time. We would definitely recommend this to everyone who’s willing to take on the challenge, enjoy the adventure and experience the wonders of nature! Jean, Sydney, Australia (Jan 2011)
We visited Australia for two weeks, and our walk along the coast was one of the top three highlights. Fantastic time, loved the experience, found Ian’s knowledge fantastic for us to learn about local flora and fauna. Really a great time. Wendy and Steve, Parry Sound, Canada (Nov 2010)
My husband and I as well as our friends thought that our hike with Ian was the highlight of our entire trip including the cruise that followed. My husband and I are going to somehow try to make it back to Sydney so that we can do a two day hike with Ian. One day was just not enough - we need to see more. And he is a wonderful guide - we highly recommend this tour and Ian. Thank you! Thank you! Thank you! Gerald and Daria, Queensbury, New York, USA (Nov 2010)

(For all the botanists out there, Ian does know that Darwinia fascicularis (Clusted Scent Myrtle) is not related to Backhousia citradoria (Lemon Scent Myrtle). He meant to say they smell similar, not they are related, Oops.)
