Spectacular Vistas: Coast to Country
Discover the perfect blend of coast and country on this spectacular loop. Your journey begins with a scenic drive through the Royal National Park, offering breathtaking vistas of the coastline from the famous Bald Hill lookout.
Cross the iconic Sea Cliff Bridge and follow Lawrence Hargrave Drive to the seaside town of Kiama. Here, you’ll witness the raw power of the ocean at the Kiama Blowhole. After exploring the coast, we head to the charming village of Berry for lunch, then wind our way inland through the stunning surroundings and rolling hills of Kangaroo Valley.
Marvel at the sheer sandstone cliffs of Morton National Park at Fitzroy Falls before visiting the boutique streets of Bowral. If time allows, we will head up Mount Gibraltar for panoramic views over the Southern Highlands—a perfect conclusion to your private escape.
The Journey
Departing from Sydney, we head south along the Illawarra Coast, taking in the world-class views of the Grand Pacific Drive. We then explore the lush hinterland and ascend into the Southern Highlands, traversing spectacular valleys and mountain passes along the way.

Reviews
It was my brother who found Dave's website. We wanted a flexible Blue Mountain tour that can accommodate us instantly as we don't have enough time left in Sydney. Luckily Dave answered our inquiry right away. Private flexi tour went well, he arrived on time in our hotel, friendly guy and instantly he started giving us trivia about the places we wanted to see, he also suggested some places to maximize our day and see as many as we can.
Hello David, a big thanks to you for your punctuality, your time spent with us as well your presence and generosity. Your trip been really well organized. We were pleasantly surprised about all your explanations about the blue mountains and wildlife in Australia, we had a great day, amazed and full of discoveries, surprises and memories out of too crowded tourists places. Hope to see you again for some great new adventures
My family and I, did the private tour with David. We found it very entertaining, enjoyable and informative. David’s local knowledge of the area was invaluable and helped us beat the crowds along with seeing the best vantage points of the blue mountains. David was very pleasant to spend the day with. We highly recommend this private tour.
Having had to wait nearly 3 years (Covid!) to visit Sydney, this tour with David was well worth the wait. He took us to hidden away gems to see amazing sights with very little in the way of crowds. The tour is very flexible and was planned totally around what we wanted to get out of the day. We would highly recommend Escape Scenes and felt it was very good value for money.
We only had a day in Sydney and decided to book this private tour to the Blue Mountains. We are so glad that we did! David, our tour guide and owner of Escape Scenes was fantastic. He is super flexible depending upon what you want to see and what is important. He adjusts the itinerary to meet your goals. We were able to see everything that was important to us without the headache of a large tour group. We would highly recommend this tour!
