- Public restrooms are available at Echo Point car park; use these before continuing into more remote sections.
Megalong Cemetery to Bowtells Swing Bridge via Six Foot Track (Guided Hike)
Guided section of the historic Six Foot Track from Megalong Cemetery toward Bowtells Swing Bridge. Approximately 6 km one-way on moderate, uneven terrain with some gentle ascents; expect 2–3 hours walking time and native bushland views.
Tips from local experts:
- Wear sturdy walking shoes with good grip—trail includes uneven rock and dirt surfaces.
- Carry sunscreen and a refillable water bottle; bottled water is provided but carry what you need for the hike.
- Tell your guide if you prefer a steadier pace; this is a private hike and your guide will adjust pacing for comfort.
Wildlife spotting in Megalong Valley
Short guided wildlife viewing in the Megalong Valley area to look for kangaroos, wallabies and local birdlife in their natural habitat — no captive facilities, just natural sightings with your guide.
Tips from local experts:
- Wildlife is most active in the early morning and late afternoon—keep movement slow and voices low for better viewing.
- Do not approach or feed wildlife; your guide will advise safe distances for viewing and photography.
- Keep cameras ready with moderate zoom; binoculars are helpful if you bring them.
Coachwood Glen Nature Trail (short rainforest circuit)
Walk the short 1.4‑kilometre Coachwood Glen circuit through temperate forest beside Megalong Creek—gentle, well-formed track suitable for a relaxed nature walk and photos.
Tips from local experts:
- Trail can be damp and shaded—wear shoes with good traction and a light covering layer for cooler forest temperatures.
- The circuit is short but may have tree roots and occasional steps; take it slowly if you prefer a gentler pace.
- Stay on the marked path to protect fragile understory and for your own safety; your guide will point out notable flora and birds.
Dryridge Estate visit (Megalong Valley)
Visit Dryridge Estate for a short cellar-door style stop among the Megalong Valley scenery. Time for a relaxed look around the property and an opportunity to sample local wines if available during your visit.
Tips from local experts:
- If you plan to sample wines, let your guide know—arrange tasting time within the visit while allowing safe transport back to Sydney.
- Cellar-door hours vary by season—your guide will confirm availability and adjust timing if needed.
- Wear sun protection if spending time on outdoor verandas—the estate has limited shaded outdoor seating.
Megalong Valley Tea Rooms (country café stop)
Relax at the Megalong Valley Tea Rooms for a light lunch, Devonshire tea or afternoon treat on the verandah. A classic country café stop in the valley setting.
Tips from local experts:
- If you have dietary restrictions, mention them to the Tea Rooms staff when ordering; menu is country-café style with daily options.
- Tea Rooms can be popular at peak times—a shorter, timed visit keeps the day on schedule.
- Restroom facilities are available here; this is a good stop to freshen up before the return drive.
Return transfer to Sydney (drop-off)
Private drive back to your Sydney hotel, port or accommodation. Relax in the private vehicle while your guide drives back to the city.
Tips from local experts:
- Expect approximately 1–1.5 hours for the return drive depending on traffic; your guide will advise estimated arrival time.
- Keep any personal items you brought for the day handy so you can collect them before disembarking.
- If you need a restroom break on the way back, tell your guide early so a short stop can be arranged without impacting schedule.
