Kiama day trip from Sydney — a private driver for the day at a fixed fare

Spend a day on the Illawarra coast without driving. We collect you in Sydney, take you to Kiama and the villages nearby, and bring you home, with the fare fixed before you leave.

Kiama is one of the easiest coastal escapes from Sydney, and a day trip with a private driver means nobody has to watch the road, find parking at the Blowhole or worry about the drive home. Sydney Fixed Fare Taxi offers driver-for-the-day trips out of Sydney: we collect you, take you to Kiama and the surrounding coast, wait while you explore and bring you back, all for one fixed fare quoted before you leave. There is no meter on the long run south and no surge if you stay for sunset. Kiama is about 120 km from Sydney Airport and around 100 minutes in normal traffic, so it works well as a relaxed day rather than a rushed one.

What a Kiama day trip can include

The Kiama Blowhole is the town's best-known sight. Water is forced up through a rock opening on the headland near the lighthouse, and how dramatic it looks depends on the swell and the tide, so we cannot promise a particular display on the day. Kiama Harbour, just around the point, is a good place for a walk, the fishing boats and a bite to eat by the water.

Further afield, Jamberoo is a short drive inland and is known for its green hills and family attractions, and Gerringong to the south has beaches and a village main street. Seven Mile Beach runs along the coast beyond Gerringong, a long stretch of sand that suits an unhurried walk. Opening hours and conditions change, so check individual attractions before you go.

How the day works

You choose the pickup address and time, and we plan around your priorities. A typical day starts in the morning so you have the middle of the day on the coast, with the return drive in the afternoon or early evening. The driver waits while you visit each stop, so there is no need to arrange separate transfers or return rides. It is your itinerary and your pace.

Attraction entry, tickets and meals are not included in the fixed fare. The fare covers the driving and the waiting.

One fixed fare, quoted on request

Regional and day-trip fares are individually quoted. Request your quote using the button above and we send the fixed fare for your group and itinerary to your phone and email, in writing. Once your booking is confirmed we text and email a secure Stripe link to pay in full. There is no deposit, no meter and no surge, and the rate quoted at booking is the rate charged, even if traffic on the Princes Motorway is heavy or you stay longer than planned.

Vehicles for the day

We dispatch clean, late-model premium vehicles: a Lexus or Toyota sedan (Lexus ES, Camry or similar) for smaller parties, a Premium SUV (Kluger, Lexus RX or similar) for more people or beach gear, or a Kia Carnival or similar people mover for larger groups. Dispatch assigns the exact vehicle based on your group, luggage and availability. Baby capsules and booster seats are free if you ask for them when you book.

Arriving or leaving by air

Landing at Sydney Airport with a day to spare? A one-way transfer straight to Kiama is available as a regional fixed-fare booking, and you can find it on our Sydney Airport to Kiama page. The same goes for Gerringong. If you would rather explore for a full day and return to Sydney the same evening, the day trip is the better fit. For a longer day further south, see our Jervis Bay day trip.

Planning tips

Book early for weekends and school holidays, when the coast is busier. Wear comfortable shoes for headland walks and bring a jacket, since the sea breeze can be cooler than in the city. Tell us about anyone with mobility needs when you book so dispatch can plan the vehicle, and note that wheelchair accessible vehicles are subject to availability.
