Illustration of Journey to Jervis Bay by Rail and Road

Railway Adventures operates this five-day escorted journey through New South Wales' South Coast cultural and natural attractions, running from Sydney to Wollongong via the coastal villages of Berry and Jervis Bay. The tour combines train, coach, and boat travel to reach historic sites, art museums, and natural reserves. Guests spend four nights at Paperbark Camp, a treetop accommodation in the Jervis Bay area, where meals are included. Along the way, the tour visits Bundanon, the riverside creative retreat and studio of the late artist Arthur Boyd, where a museum and homestead are open to visitors. In Berry, a historic village southwest of Sydney, the group walks the main streets to explore heritage architecture and local character. A highlight is the boat cruise through Jervis Bay's waters, followed by a rainforest walk through the canopy structures at Illawarra Fly. Throughout, the named tour leader, Lachlan Garland, manages the itinerary and logistics. The tour is pitched at travellers aged 50 and older who prefer fully guided, small-group travel with cultural depth.
