Cowan Creek Boat Day

Cowan Creek Boat Day

This tour gives a front row seat to the beautiful bays, beaches and bushland of Cowan Creek. Running almost perfectly undisturbed in the middle of Ku-Ring-Gai Chase National Park, it hosts waterfalls, jump rocks, restaurants, and examples of indigenous rock art.

Spend the day exploring the shoreline from the bow of the boat, or get out and amongst it by going for a hike to Warrah Trig, West Head, or Barrenjoey Headland, for breathtaking views over the waters.

Guests can buy lunch at a waterfront restaurant at Cottage Point or Patonga, or we can provide wraps to eat in the wild. Coffee, tea, water and fruit are included.

There is even the chance to try tubing or wake boarding, or take a plunge from Jerusalem Bay!

Cowan Creek is an absolute treasure. It is almost completely untouched - there are no roads, no buildings, not even any walking tracks. So a boat is the best and only way to experience it.
