Whale Watching: Bondi to Maroubra!!! 18km Medium

Whale Watching Day!!! Watson’s Bay to Maroubra 18 km (Medium)

We ferry from Circular Quay to Watsons Bay and commence our walk out of South Head, and along the Federation Walk, navigating Diamond Bay and Dover Heights before dropping down to North Bondi.

Leaving Bondi Beach behind, we strike out for Tamarama and Bronte, where we stop for a nice lunch break of 45 minutes.

Following lunch, we head for Maroubra via Clovelly and Coogee Beaches. We stop at Mistral Point before marching into Maroubra where we will invade the Maroubra Seals Club for a tasty beer (and food if desired - its pretty tasty, I have to say!), before grabbing a bus back to the City.

The ocean front scenery on this walk is stunning!

Hopefully we will spot Humpback whales during the day; it is likely that we will.

We should arrive at Maroubra by about 3:30PM.

Oh, please make sure you bring photo ID, to gain entrance to the Maroubra Seals Club.

Distance: 18 km

Type of Walk: This wonderful Sunday Walk is water, water, all the way! Almost the entire walk is along ocean front promenades.

Difficulty: Medium, because of the distance. If you are unsure about the distance but would like to test yourself this is a walk for you: there are plenty of get-out points.

Walking Pace: We will maintain a steady pace all day and average 4.5KMH.

Meeting Place and Transport: We catch the Watsons Bay Ferry from Circular Quay Wharf 2. The Ferry leaves Circular Quay at 9:45 am and arrives at Watsons Bay at 10:08am. Transport back from Maroubra is by bus; it is a high frequency service.

What to bring: Good walking shoes/trail runners; 1.5 litres of water, refill available; hydrolytes; one snack and one lunch; light rain jacket depending on conditions; sunscreen and a cap or hat with a wide brim.

LUNCH CAN BE PURCHASED AT BRONTE.
