Port Macquarie day tour to Ellenborough Falls & Comboyne Rock

About this tour

A private eight-hour day tour from Port Macquarie that takes you to Ellenborough Falls and Comboyne Rock in your own air-conditioned vehicle. You control the pace—linger at lookouts as long as you like, or tackle walking tracks at your own speed. The small-group model means access to quieter spots that larger tour buses can't reach, and your driver knows the back roads well. Bring your own music, pack a picnic, and explore the hinterland at a tempo that suits your group.

Highlights

• Ellenborough Falls: 300-metre drop waterfall and natural pool
• Comboyne Rock with sweeping coastal and valley views
• Private vehicle with air-con—your group only
• Flexible itinerary: stay longer at spots you love
• Off-the-beaten-track routes inaccessible to coach tours
• Driver acts as guide or steps back if you prefer independence

What to expect

Eight hours of driving and walking through the Port Macquarie hinterland. You'll spend significant time in the vehicle traversing unsealed roads to reach the falls and rock formations—this isn't a quick shuttle between well-trodden sites. Once there, you're free to hike down to the waterfall base, swim in the pool if conditions allow, or simply soak in the views from the rim. Comboyne Rock offers panoramic vistas and a gentler walk. Your driver remains flexible: want an extra hour at one spot? No problem. Prefer to eat lunch at a quiet location rather than a café? Arrange it yourselves. The day requires reasonable fitness for walking and handling uneven terrain.
