Flying Fox Experience, Thousands of Australia's Largest Bat

Such a unique and memorable experience! Seeing thousands of flying foxes up close was absolutely incredible. The guide was friendly, knowledgeable and made the whole experience really interesting and fun. I learned a lot and got to see a completely different side of Sydney. Definitely worth doing if you love wildlife and want something a little different from the usual tourist activities. Highly recommend!

Dave, our guide, was knowledgeable, funny, personable and had all our needs covered before we even knew we needed them, including loaning binoculars and cameras. I booked this trip after taking Perfect Day Sydney's day-long tour of kangaroos, wombats, and beautiful scenery. The Flying Fox trip is perfect for someone who only has half a day to give to wildlife viewing. The two trips complement each other beautifully, but the Flying Fox experience can definitely be a stand alone experience.

The trip is great and Dave is an experienced guide, providing good knowledge, best photo taking location and warm caring with snacks and drink!

Amazing experience watching thousands of flying fox fruit-eating bats hang from trees and fly around at a park near Sydney. This is definitely a "must do" for anyone in the Sydney area. Dave drove us to the park, provided cameras and binoculars, and also gave us the professional photos that he took at no charge via AirDrop. Our family, including two teenagers, really enjoyed watching the bats hang upside down, fly around, and stare at us with their beady little eyes.

Fascinating experience seeing the flying foxes. Our guide, Dave, is very knowledgeable and I highly recommend him. He had binoculars so we could see the bats up close and cameras (photos were then downloaded to noir smart phones). Absolutely an amazing experience.

David was the perfect guide. He even added an extra stop for us at the Worm hole which was beautiful! Great snacks, very personable and kind. Highly recommend. He sent us photos of our experience too for life time of memories! Good communication from booking to drop off.

If you love bats or are interested and seeing them up close and learning about them this is the tour for you. I've been on a lot of excursions and Dave was easily one of the nicest tour guides! Very personable, gave us recommendations on other things to do in Sydney, and even offered us water and snacks. He took pictures and videos of us surrounded by bats and even showed us some other gems and the surrounding area free at costs! Highly recommended, 5 ⭐️ ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

I booked this tour because I am an avid wildlife watcher, and it sounded very different from experiences I've had elsewhere. I've never been a big fan of bats, but even so, this was a phenomenal morning out the day after Perfect Day Sydney's kangaroo and wombat tour, also highly recommended! Dave, the funniest New Zealander/Aussie this side of Guy Montgomery, picked me up at my hotel then drove our group across the iconic harbor bridge to a fascinating suburban flying fox colony. He promised we would see "at least 50," and there were thousands in this urban jungle. Our small group spent about an hour walking the paths around the colony, getting great photos and videos of bat behavior. On the way back to the CBD, we stopped at the harbor for an amazing panoramic view of Sydney--opera house, bridge, skyline, quay, and even a visiting cruise ship. It was well worth the time and money. I am thrilled to have been able to experience these tours and would highly recommend them to anyone looking for unique, authentic fun while in Sydney.

I assumed these bats would be rare to see but they were everywhere and in plain sight. Our tour guide had a professional camera and shared amazing photos with our group. I’ll definitely do this tour again.

Dave was very friendly and knowledgeable and was good enough to pick me up from my accommodation which saved me an Uber trip and dropped me off on Darling harbour ready for my next excursion. The bats or flying foxes were great to see, much bigger than I thought and was good to see them flying around. He also knew about the other wildlife including spiders etc and when I return to Sydney, I will do the other tour with the kangaroos and wombats., just not enough time on this trip. Thanks for all the photos at the end which you sent to everyone Dave, much better the ones I took. Interesting trip.
