Feel a million miles away less than an hour from Sydney on an overnight journey with Eco Sailing Cruises. Your friendly guides will take you around Pittwater and Broken Bay as they show you the sights of Ku-ring-gai Chase National Park.
The captain takes care of everything, so you can choose to be as laid-back or as active as you like. Do a spot of birdwatching as you relax and fully immerse yourself in the stunning natural setting of the Hawkesbury River. Or take a yoga class on the beach when the boat docks at one of its secluded anchor points.
If you're feeling more adventurous, explore one of the park's many walking tracks, kayak in the river, or try your hand at stand-up paddle boarding. Be sure to take your camera because you'll discover rainforests, waterfalls and stunning scenery along the way.
As the sun sets, meditate on the beach and enjoy a barbecue feast before turning in for the night.
Eco Sailing Cruises is a licensed commercial tour operator with a Parks Eco Pass.
