A day trip outside Sydney you’d never expect - It was such a pleasure to learn so much about sights outside Sydney. This trip exceeded all our expectations. The ride was informative, and comfortable. We felt welcoming the whole time. We saw sights we hadn’t planned on and at the end were a mob of kangaroos and then got close to a mother and daughter kangaroo. Don’t pass up this incredible experience with Oliver, Michael and Elizabeth.

Oliver was an incredible... - Oliver was an incredible guide. Friendly, knowledgeable and adorably passionate. His mother Elizabeth also joined us to support and became all of our moms. The loving dynamic between the two only added to the experience. (Elizabeth, you’re an rockstar!)
Incredible views, incredible learnings, and of course, Kangaroos and Wombats!
Would absolutely recommend and encourage everyone to support and choose them over other similar tours.

AMAZING experience! - Great tour! we went to various locations which aren't accessible by public transport and had great views of waterfalls and various wildlife. The guide Oliver was very informative and spent much time answering all our questions which was very nice. We even saw an echidna although that wasn't advertised as part of the tour. Wombats and kangaroo viewing were advertised and that we saw as well and was very interesting. The tour also provided lots of snack and lots of toilet stops to make sure everybody remained comfortable during the long trip which went beyond Wollongong before heading back to Sydney. Thanks very much for the tour Oliver and also to the amazing driver Elizabeth. We had a wonderful day.Exceeded our expectations.

Great Tour!! - The trip was great! Oliver made sure we were able to see as many animals as possible. He and his father were very accommodating and great to be around. Being a solo traveler it puts you at ease and makes you feel more comfortable. I would definitely recommend touring with them.

Fantastic day - worth every penny! - Everything went perfect! The itinerary is well thought out, the trip was smoothly organized and Oliver did everything to make sure everybody has a great time. We were also lucky regarding wildlife-sightings: In addition to a very cute wombat, we even saw an echidna that wasn't frightened at all!

Relaxed and informative adventure - We spent a great amount of time at each stop and it was not rushed like other tours. It felt like a more personal experience and the guides were more than happy to offer background and facts on the places we visited. I would book with them again.

Great authentic Australian experience - A fantastic excursion to connect with a more authentic Australian experience and avoid the tourist traps. See lots of nature, wildlife and history. Give yourself sometime to recover from a long flight before embarking on this excursion as it involves a lot of walking. Well worth every minute. See waterfalls, birds and wildlife along the kangaroo River and finish the day with kangaroos, wallabys and wombats. Oliver is highly knowledgeable about with wildlife and history and lunch was great! Highly recommend this tour

Perfect Day Out - My friend and I had a wonderful day tour with Olivier and Michael. We loved the many stops throughout the day to break up the driving. The walks were not difficult, exploring a variety of landscapes and views, waterfalls and wildlife. We like the smaller size group, allowing everyone to hear and see the many plants, animals and scenery. The picnic lunch was tasty and plentiful, well presented and they also supplied snacks and bottled water. I was never hungry. The final stop was to find kangaroos and wombats in the wild. This exceeded our expectations, and even in the rain it was amazing to see so many kangaroos. We would love to do additional tours with them in the future.

Extreme disappointment. - Extremely disappointing. We were supposed to go on the trip the 12th April 2025 a 10:00. We received a message from the company on the 11th April 2025 a 17:51, way less than 24h before the departure, saying that due to the road being closed, we couldn’t participate in the activity. The « alternatives » that were proposed to us costed more than 3x what we paid for previously, with no other dates available until 2 weeks later. The activity was booked a month ago. Even with those exceptional circumstances, warning us less than 24h before the activity and proposing other travel plans costing more than 3x what we previously paid for was in no way professional. We can’t find another date for the activity since we won’t be there next week and all the other activities are either too expensive or fully booked. We are extremely disappointed.
