Hear the guide
This is the real narration from Parkwolf’s Royal tour. It starts on its own as you approach each stop, so you never tap or read while driving.
“You're nearing Otford Lookout, where the coast opens out beyond the roadside. This is a good stop if you want a wide ocean view without committing to a hike.”
Real stops, real narration
Three real lines from the narration, each with the app’s tip for that stop, at three of the most-loved stops in Royal.
“Bald Hill Lookout is ahead, with a coastal view you can enjoy beside the car park. Look south for Sea Cliff Bridge following the shoreline, and include the headlands behind it in a photo to show the coast curving away.”
Heads up Weekend parking can fill.
“Up ahead is Garawarra Farm car park, the walking access for Figure Eight Pools. The two joined, round pools sit on an exposed ocean rock shelf.”
Heads up A strenuous return hike ends at an exposed, wave-washed rock platform.
“You're approaching the Coast Track start in Bundeena, where you can walk to Wedding Cake Rock. Allow about two and a half hours return over rough sandstone, boardwalk and stairs, with cliff views along the way.”
Heads up The safety fence limits close views and clean photo angles.

“We just used the app this morning on our drive around Cades Cove and it provided a lot of info along the way and greatly enhanced our experience! And to top it off, we saw a female black bear and her two cubs just before the halfway point!”
“Great app , works offline and audio tour while driving its amazing.”
“Loved it after I figured out how to use the app, the information was very interesting and the automatic play as you drive was very convenient. The map came in handy too when we lost connection on our GPS. Thank you!”
