 A Weekend of Outdoor Adventures in Sydney

Nature is right on the doorstep of downtown Sydney. The glittering Harbour City is bordered by magnificent national parks, sandstone cliffs and sandy beaches. The edges of this bustling metropolis are softened by vast vistas of ocean and untouched wilderness at every turn, but even within the city you’ll find lush greenery and stunning landscapes where forest meets city. Get outdoors in Sydney on this ultimate Sydney Playcay itinerary.
