Coastal and National Park Options

The NSW Central Coast contains 42+ beaches and several national parks including Bouddi and Ku-ring-gai. The area also includes over 400 play spaces and 87km of coastline suitable for hikes and tide pool searches.

Lake Macquarie Watersports

Lake Macquarie Watersports at Cams Wharf provides stand-up paddle boarding and kayaking rentals. Matt Hall's flight school offers aerial experiences above Lake Macquarie.

The region received official ECO Destination status from Ecotourism Australia and WWF-Australia for its approach to nature-based tourism. This designation supports continued use of the listed activities in a sustainable setting.

Bookings for these experiences can be arranged through the operators listed on the Central Coast tourism sites. Participants should check current availability and any required equipment directly with each venue.
