Understand Down Under (UDU) is different for a reason… it believes you deserve better. It is for this reason that UDU is inviting people, from near and far, to come and truly discover the Royal National Park and the reasons it is Australia’s best kept secret. So instead of spending the day seeing the same sights as everyone else, come join us on a journey to remember.

UDU began in 2006, and remains committed toward the individual, ensuring every tour is of the highest standard. Through the deliverance outstanding experiences, and by supporting environmentally sustainable practices, UDU aims to establish the Royal National Park as Sydney’s best destination for nature-based day tours.

 

So what is UDU?

UDU= Understand Down Under. Put simply, an UDU tour will help you to Understand this great country of ours that we affectionately call Down Under. Although UDU mainly offers day tours from Sydney to the Royal National Park, it is simply a beautiful, local example used to portray a range of themes found throughout Australia, including Aboriginal culture, European history, plants, wildlife and geology.

Understand Down Under Mission

Understand Down Under has been thoroughly designed with a clear mission: to offer the best quality, safe eco-experiences that provide a superior level of understanding, enjoyment, conservation and satisfaction. UDU does its best to tailor every trip according to the individuals that make up each unique group. UDU believes that greater understanding of the natural world and the cultures of those within it will help make a happier and healthier earth.

Understand Down Under History

UDU commenced operation in early 2007, after over three years of planning. Its main focus was providing an experience of a lifetime, and everyone who has been on an UDU tour will tell you that’s exactly what it is. UDUs first eco tours where it’s guided bushwalks, a challenging adventure through wilderness and remote beaches. UDU is now offering more accessible tour options, so people of all ages and abilities can understand the Royal National Parks hidden beauty.

Understand Down Under Future

UDU wants to put the Royal National Park on the map, so that it gets the recognition it deserves. Despite being the oldest National Park in Australia, in many ways it’s very new, so UDU plans to ensure that it maintains its unspoilt charm. This is why UDU does its best to be eco-friendly, and to involve local communities as much as possible. UDU hopes that the Royal National Park will become Sydney’s most cherished day tour destination.

  • Guides are very friendly and humorous, lunch was provided, BBQ, they make some decent BBQs. If you are going to somewhere famous but unfamiliar, just go with UDU!!

    - PtPlatinum

  • This was the last day of my Australia trip and probably the best day as well. Andy is nice, cute and handsome. (my family all agree that) Throughout the whole trip, we had lots of conversation over different topics. It’s interesting to learn more about the culture, life style, etc about Australia from Andy. The extra bonus for us was Andy took many beautiful pictures for us during the trip.

    - LaiChunMan

  • Can’t recommend this highly enough. Our tour guide, Andy, was superb. Very passionate and you could tell he wanted the group to have a great day. I went on three different day trips during my time at Sydney, and this one was the funnest with the canoeing and rough waters at Garie Beach.

    - Luke E

  • Loved everything about this retreat. Andy and the rest of the guides where very lovely and knew a lot about the national park. They show you some pretty cool places and get you involved in some cool activities…

    - Jayne - Sydney

  • One of the best tour one can do in NSW, had a great time in the Royal National Park with amazing views, different activities and a nice BBQ in the middle. Andy managed the trip perfectly and we managed to avoid the rain and have good weather in every stop!! Highly recommended to all. This was my second time to the Royal National Park with UDU, and hopefully not the last 🙂

  • Incredible experience!!!I really enjoyed Garry’s insightful commentary, his historical and scientific anecdotes were very fascinating, on top of that he was funny! Mal the (cute) photographer was so patient with us…

    - Alice - Sydney

  • A great way to unwind, soak up the sun and the splendour of nature and explore the luscious beauty of the Australian bush. If you’re a city slicker, leave the concrete jungle for the real one, just for one day…

     

    - Fiona - Sydney

  • First experience with UDU and got my mind blown away Trip was way beyond expectation. Andy is very informative and a funny guy. Of course the group dynamics I was with were good. Everyone had fun and unanimously agreed that the canoeing part was the main highlight! And we went against the grain or in this case the rain, and did what we planned to do. All locations were covered!…
