See flying foxes in the wild - Dave has good information and lots of snacks. It’s a nice easy couple of hours seeing wildlife that you probably wouldn’t find on your own.

Great bat experience with a great guide! - Dave is a fantastic guide and knows the area very well! He has his own location he found for spotting the flying foxes "off the beaten path" that has them at a perfect safe distance for taking some wonderful photos!

So much fun to watch these cuties! - The tour was really fun. Dave is a very cool guide, we immediately liked his style. We really were surprised where Dave took us to see the Flying Foxes. We had plenty of time to observe these cute creatures in their natural environment. If you want to make photos, I recommend bringing a good digital camera with at least 200 mm focal length to get close enough. Even if you don't bring a camera, Dave has cameras for you to use! Really great! Absolute recommendation for Dave and his Perfect Day Sydney tours.

Great 1/2 day for Wildlife lovers - I went with Dave the day before on his wild wombats and kangaroo tour. I really enjoyed the operation and the effort Dave put into making sure we get a good experience with his company so I decided to go again with him. If you are into wildlife, Dave seems to really know what he is doing. This trip to see the bats was easy to fit into my schedule. I have a good sense of adventure and love discovery and the wildlife. Dave’s company was perfect. His bus was very comfortable. Small group. He provided delicious and generous snacks. He brought cameras for us to use if we needed. He guided us to good positions and shared tons of Info. I highly recommend this family run business and his other tour as well.

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!
