Nature walks in Sydney 

Sydney is a great city for walkers. Put your best foot forward on any number of walking tracks and trails, many of which come with a top view. Sydney Harbour National Park has some of the best and easiest to access for visitors. Pack your camera, a water bottle and hat before checking out the Manly to Spit Walk or Neilsen Park foreshore walks.

Walks in Sydney

From urban coastal walks to treks in the National Parks, Sydney is a city made for walks and hikes in the great outdoors. The harbour foreshore is home to at least 16 walks. Head to Cremorne Point for harbour views and cliffside gardens, or take the Taronga Zoo to Manly bushwalking track for an intense three-hour excursion that includes historic hot spots en route. For a leisurely stroll, seek out the leafy tranquillity of Centennial Parklands.

Crank things up with the three-day southern coastal walk starting from Cronulla, and combine this with the four-day northern beaches walk from Barrenjoey to North Head to complete Sydney's great coastal walks.

For a dose of history, explore Newington Armory at Sydney Olympic Park by foot. Set amid 52 hectares of riverside hills and woodlands, the site features more than 100 heritage buildings.

South of Sydney the Royal National Park's spectacular Coast Track combines amazing scenery and a unique historical heritage. Take the walk in sections or complete it as a two-day trip with an overnight stay at a secluded beach. For a more luxurious experience, Sydney Coast Walks hosts overnight trips with sumptuous catering and camping under the stars.

Bondi to Coogee Walk

The coastal walk from Bondi Beach to Coogee is one of Sydney’s most popular. The 6km trek includes dramatic ocean views and cafes aplenty to replenish en route. Stop at Gordon’s Bay if you fancy a snorkel or follow the trail to more beaches, including Bronte.

Federation Cliff Walk

This 5km track starts stretches from Dover Heights to Watson’s Bay in the eastern suburbs. Enjoy magnificent sea views from atop Diamond Bay’s 20-million-year-old sandstone cliffs and, if kids are in tow, swing by the playground at Raleigh Reserve.

Manly to Spit Walk

In Sydney’s north, the popular Manly to the Spit walk is a 10km track that takes in stunning harbour views, native bushland, Aboriginal landmarks and pockets of rainforest. Finish with a well-deserved lunch in the heart of Manly.
