Fire-foxes experience - We got out of the city for a morning to see the largest bats in Australia. There were tons of them and Dave gave us reflex cameras to have great memories from the experience!

Fascinating! - Dave is an amazing tour guide who knows where to find wildlife. This small tour (11 I believe) took us to see a massive colony of giant bats that were surprisingly active in the middle of the day. They were interacting with each other and making lots of noise. Occasionally some flew through the sky, truly a site to behold with their massive wingspan. Dave provided us with lots of interesting facts and fielded questions in knowledgeable manner. He had snacks and drinks for us. After the tour he offered to drop us off where we wanted or back at the hotel. This is an excellent tour and a fascinating way to spend a few hours. Thanks for another perfect day!

Awesome tour! Tons of bats! Must see! - I had an absolutely wonderful time going to see the flying foxes on this tour! You'll be truly shocked at the staggering number of bats you'll see both perched and in-flight. Dave is extremely knowledgeable, and knew exactly where to go to get amazing views. He also brought a variety of camera equipment, so that people on the tour could try their hand at some amateur wildlife photography. At the end of the tour, Dave was able to sync the cameras with our phones so that all of us were easily able to take our photos with us. All in all this was a great way to spend the morning, you will not be disappointed!

Bat tour - We went to wear flying foxes in Sydney. It was in a residential neighborhood and had sidewalks on all sides. He even loaned me a camera to take photos. I took a million... Not really, but close.

Flying Fox - Best tour ever!!! - So much fun! The short drive was super comfortable, wonderful group bonding, and then, we enjoyed a scenic walk. We saw more flying foxes than I could ever imagine. They were so cute and it was breathtaking to watch them fly all around. It was also wonderful to use Dave’s high quality cameras to take so many photos! He was super helpful, knowledgeable, and made the tour an all around amazing adventure. Dave knows all the hidden gems! After the tour, Dave kindly dropped us off near Manly beach if we wanted - which was a beautiful spot to grab a sandwich and sit by the ocean. If you’re in Sydney, don’t miss this unforgettable experience! Book it now!

Fantastic Flying Foxes are worth it! - The Flying Fox tour is a perfect tour! It’s only around 2 and a half hours long. You see a ton of cute bats doing hilarious things. You get to take incredible pictures assisted by Dave the tour guide who even lent us his camera! He is incredibly knowledgeable and accommodating. If you can do this tour and his Wombat tour. Doing those back to back made our trip to Sydney feel like a full and unique experience!!
