Sydney Wildlife Safari

This was without question the best single thing we did when in Sydney. Steve was a perfect guide, enthusiastic and passionate about Australia's wildlife and extremely knowledgeable. The trip was an excellent combination of bird-viewing and marsupial spotting in several different locations, exactly as advertised and with great success: over 20 kinds of bird, no fewer than 5 wombats. dozens of wallabies and kangaroos, possums and gliders. All rounded off by dinner in a historic New South Wales inn. Worth every penny.

This tour was one of the best tours I’ve taken anywhere and the highlight of our AU trip! I would highly recommend this tour and if I come back to Sydney I would do it again! The pick up was smooth and communication before the tour was really clear and complete. The whole day was well paced and we saw incredible animals at every stop with nice breaks for lunch and dinner. Throughout the tour Steve was extremely knowledgeable about the wildlife and history of the area which made the drive times fly by. But the real stars were the animals and we saw SO many of them! We started with a tranquil walk around a nature preserve where Steve helped us spot over 15 kinds of birds including the gorgeous Crimson Rosella, Eastern Rosellas, and King Parrots. At our next stops we saw 17 emus, dozens of wallabies (many with joeys in their pouches), tons of kangaroos and 5 wombats! In the evening we walked by the river to spot platypus and even though we didn’t see one we got to see possums and sugar gliders flying between the trees, which I think was even cooler. Though this tour is expensive it’s worth every penny! If you love wildlife and beautiful scenery then you’ll love this!

The southern highlands tour with guides Jack and Steve was an amazing day. We got great views of wombat, emus, kangaroos, wallabies, sugar gliders, and brushtail possums. The guides were knowledgeable, friendly, and funny. Listening to ghost stories at the Surveyor General pub was a lot of fun.

We had a wonderful day of wildlife exploration with knowledgeable guide, Steve. The private tour allowed us to observe at our own pace native animals in their natural settings, including over a dozen types of birds, kangaroos, wallabies, wombats and other marsupials. Strongly recommend.

The Sydney wildlife tour was absolutely amazing! Our guide was so knowledgeable of the animals and the area and we learned so much during time with him. I would highly recommend this tour if you are Sydney. Truly an awesome experience!!

Steve was great! Very knowledgeable and obviously passionate about his work. People who love what they do ALWAYS pass that vibe on to others as they teach. This was our 1st time in Australia and didnt know what to expect. Our tour group was small & private (just me, my wife, and another couple), which made it easier to ask questions and learn. We saw over 24 different kinds of bird species, wombats, kangaroos, wallabys, bats, massive termite mounds, sugar gliders, brush-tailed possums, oreo-cows (obvious nickname), and even a highland cow. All were new to us, and all were easy to find/spot in the wild. Steve provided lights, binoculars, lunch, a delicious dinner (with an alcoholic drink), and even jackets... not to mention full transportation and a personal experience. We had an absolute blast, and are really happy we got this tour! THANKS AGAIN, STEVE!

A nice relaxing drive in the countryside with a group of only six of us and our gregarious and knowledgeable driver and guide, Steve. We saw a surprising number of species of birds and I was able to get decent photos of most of them. And, of course, we saw the usual suspects--eastern gray kangaroos and emus, which are always fun. The lunch was good and dinner at Australia's oldest continuously operating pub was great. After dinner, we used red torches to spot nocturnal wildlife and saw both ring-tailed and brush-tailed possums and a wombat. Would highy recommend for a nice day outside the city.

This was the absolute best experience I had in Australia! It was a small tour, just me and another solo traveler and Steve catered the experience to us. He is super knowledgeable, friendly and truly cares about conservation. Everything you see is in the wild. No pens, no cages, just wild Australian wildlife. I will treasure this experience for the rest of my life!!! If you do one thing in Australia, take this tour!!!!

Awesome experience! Steve, the owner and our guide was superb. He was smart, fun and had a good eye for spotting wildlife. He knew exactly where and when to look. He gets just as excited as his customers when he spots something. And we saw a lot. Kangaroos, wallabies, possums, emu, rosellas, cockatoos, and too many other birds to mention. The sugar gliders were our favorite. Thanks for the experience of a lifetime, Steve.

My husband and I had a wonderful time on the wildlife safari tour with our guide, Steve. It was awesome to see all of the wild animals in their natural habitats. It was especially cool to see the nocturnal dwellers—what a treat! As someone passionate about animal rights and ethical treatment, I’m so glad we found this tour so that we could safely and respectfully enjoy the company of our wild neighbors. The tour cost is a bit higher than other experiences you may find but I thought it was totally worth it. The tour went from noon until the evening, so lots of wildlife viewing time! And the tour is kept small—capped at 8 people; there were only 4 of us so it felt nice to not be in an overcrowded environment. Steve was an excellent, knowledgeable guide and he seemed just as excited to spot the wildlife as we were. This tour is best for anyone who loves wildlife and the natural environment and who is fine walking on sometimes uneven terrain. The tour could work well for a family, solo, or in pairs.
