After your Whale Cruise Tour, your choice of a Bundeena or Cronulla drop off.

The Cronulla Beach Walk follows more than four kilometres of the Shire’s coastline south from Wanda Surf Lifesaving Club to Bass and Flinders Point, where the Hacking River meets the Tasman Sea. The pathway passes stunning beaches, child-friendly rock pools, parks, playgrounds, cafes and period houses interspersed with lavish new homes and apartments overlooking the water. In the morning you’ll see locals out for a run or walk with friends, and swimmers striking out to the yacht buoy or Shark Island. In summer, watch nippers and lifesavers train and enjoy a dip at one of the many beaches along the walk. Everyone is out, from new mums with prams, families and kids on scooters to the stalwarts of Cronulla on their way to the RSL for lunch or a game of bowls. The footsteps on this walk have echoed since the early 1900s when Cronulla Beach was the place for Sydneysiders to holiday, and it remains a popular and social walk.

Cronulla Ferries operate hourly ferry services Cronulla to Bundeena (gateway to the Royal National Park) and daily 3 hour Port Hacking scenic river cruises. We also operate Champagne breakfast cruises, Sunset dinner cruises, Christmas parties, birthday parties, private charters and corporate functions.
