This is no tour around a wildlife sanctuary. Instead, we head to one of a number of areas where you are likely to see wild kangaroos and possibly some native Australian birdlife. Our friendly knowledgeable guides aka ‘our kangaroo whisperers‘ are the best there are and will convey you to the Blue Mountains or Outer Sydney where we normally see many kangaroos, playing, eating, sleeping, etc.On some tours, we have seen over 100 kangaroos in the area on one day. These are wild animals in their natural surrounds. Depending on the day and how they are approached, you may see them lying on the ground, grazing, fighting, bounding away, playing, and generally enjoying themselves.

Inclusions: National Park fees, Driver/guide, Hotel pickup, Hotel dropoff (or dropoff at Parramatta for ferry), Air-conditioned vehicle

Exclusions: Food and drinks, Ferry ticket from Parramatta to Sydney

This was such an incredible tour, I can't recommend it highly enough. Craig is an amazing guide. He is extremely knowledgeable on the local areas plus very entertaining with a great sense of humour. We had a sensational lunch on the beach, saw great sea life including turtles plus kangaroos as we drove off the beach. The beach drive, coloured sands, Rainbow Beach, Double Island Point it's hard to choose which was the best bit. It was a truly incredible day.

I booked a session at a tricky time as the restriction just started to lift but not completely. It’s for my husband’s birthday so I really want to do it. I wrote them an email not expecting reply due to the lock down however got a reply very quickly. They made the booking and also kept me in contact with any updates. On the day, the staff is very helpful and did all the procedures for COVID-19. We played the mad mind which is easy to start and really enjoyable. The equipment is in very good condition and the whole place is maintained at a high hygiene standard. When we finished, the staff even came in to show some photos he took for us when we were in the game world. We are very happy with the experience!

We did a 3 hour boat cruise around the gold coast waterways. Nitsa the owner was our skipper for my Hens party. We had the best time! Honestly, it was the highlight of my hens weekend. Nitsa took heaps of photos of our group and allowed me to play my own music nice and loud! She also organized water, champagne glasses and ice buckets. The table on board was movable, meaning that after we’d eaten Nitsa moved the table so we had our very own dance floor! Nitsa also stopped at her mooring halfway through the cruise so we could use the ladies toilet (but there is also one on board!). The boat comfortably fit 8 of us girls. We ate, danced and drank whilst looking at some of the richest houses, people enjoying their meals at the wharf and some dolphins! So many great memories to cherish forever! Thanks Nitsa :)

I bought this as a gift for my husband, for his birthday and we had a ball following all the clues and running The Rocks. It is really well thought out and despite thinking we knew quite a lot about The Rocks, we uncovered artworks, relics and views of Sydney we didn't know existed! I would definitely recommend this to both visitors for a really unique walk through The Rocks and Sydneysiders as I can almost guarantee you will uncover something you didn't know was there!! Was also very easy to remain at safe and socially distanced in the new COVID world
