Guided Walking Tour Overview
Three Days Along Australia’s Wilderness Coast
Walk the complete 32 km Light to Light Walk through Beowa National Park on a fully supported camping adventure. Beginning beneath the historic sandstone walls of Boyds Tower, the trail winds south through rugged headlands, secluded beaches, coastal heath and quiet forest towards Green Cape.
Over three memorable days, discover dramatic red-rock cliffs, hidden coves and wide views across the Pacific Ocean. Wildlife is a constant presence along this wild coast, with opportunities to encounter wallabies, goannas, seabirds and dolphins. From July to November, the elevated headlands also provide excellent vantage points for watching migrating humpback whales.
Carry only a daypack while our experienced local guides take care of meals, transfers, camping equipment and daily logistics. Along the way, we’ll share stories of the area’s natural environment, cultural heritage and maritime history, giving you a deeper connection to this remarkable coastline.
At the end of each day, settle into our comfortable camp at Saltwater Creek. Your tent and bedding will be ready for you, leaving time to swim, unwind and enjoy nourishing meals prepared with quality local produce. It’s an immersive wilderness experience without the burden of carrying a full pack or setting up camp.

We’ll collect you from your accommodation in the Merimbula area between 8:00 and 9:00 am before travelling south through Eden to Beowa National Park. At Boyds Tower, we’ll take time to enjoy the sweeping views across Twofold Bay and hear the story of this striking sandstone landmark before beginning our walk.
Today's Walk:
Setting out from Boyds Tower, we follow the coastline south through sheltered forest, coastal heath and open headlands overlooking the Pacific Ocean. Along the way, we’ll pause to explore the landscape, enjoy a nourishing trail lunch and look for wildlife—including migrating humpback whales during the winter and spring months.
Our first day finishes at beautiful Saltwater Creek, where the forest meets a sheltered beach and estuary. Your camp will be set up and waiting, giving you time to settle in, enjoy a swim or relax before gathering for dinner around the fire.

Day 2 - 9km
Bittangabee Bay to Saltwater Creek
Today’s Walk:
After a hearty breakfast at camp, we transfer to Bittangabee Bay to begin the day’s walk. This beautiful, sheltered inlet has a long and fascinating history, with evidence of thousands of years of Aboriginal occupation and the remains of structures associated with the construction of Green Cape Lighthouse.
From Bittangabee Bay, we follow the Light to Light Walk north through coastal heath, grasslands and pockets of melaleuca forest. Along the way, we’ll pause at secluded bays and rocky headlands, taking time to enjoy the wildlife, seasonal wildflowers and sweeping views across the Pacific Ocean.
After stopping at picturesque Hegartys Bay, we continue north towards Saltwater Creek. The walk finishes directly at our camp, where there will be time to swim, relax and unwind before gathering for dinner.

Bittangabee Bay to
Green Cape Lighthouse
Today's Walk:
After breakfast, we pack up camp and transfer to Bittangabee Bay for the final section of the Light to Light Walk.
From Bittangabee Bay, the trail follows the coastline south through coastal forest, heathland and open headlands. Along the way, we pass secluded coves, striking red-rock cliffs and several excellent vantage points for spotting seabirds, dolphins and migrating whales in season.
As Green Cape Lighthouse comes into view, we visit the Ly-ee-Moon Cemetery—a moving reminder of the shipwrecks and maritime history that have shaped this remote coastline. We then complete our three-day journey beneath one of the most recognisable landmarks on the NSW coast.
We’ll celebrate the end of the walk with lunch overlooking the ocean before departing Green Cape. On our return journey, we stop at Disaster Bay Lookout for one final panoramic view before returning you to the Merimbula area by approximately 4:00 pm.
