Do not miss this tour! - Dave was a fantastic guide. Very personable, funny and very informative. We had the best time seeing these amazing bats! We learned so many facts about them and had plenty of time to watch and take photos of them. Dave is an amazing photographer and he captured many great shots of the day and shared them with the group. We would highly recommend this tour! It’s a must see while in Sydney.

So many bats so close to Sydney - Fantastic few hours watching and taking photos of the biggest bats you have ever seen so close to Syney! We also saw lots of other birds and bugs on the walk which was an added bonus. Dave is an excellent guide very knowledgeable and super prepared with cameras and binoculars for you to use. Highly recommend

Amazing Tour with Incredible Wildlife and Photos! - I had an unforgettable experience on this tour! Seeing flying foxes up close was absolutely fascinating, and we even spotted some huge spiders along the way. Dave, the guide was very knowledgeable and had an amazing camera that captured unbelievable photos, which he kindly shared with me. It made the experience even more special! Since it was a windy day, on our way back, we stopped at Sydney Harbour National Park to feel the full power of the wind—it was such a thrilling experience! If you love wildlife and adventure, I highly recommend this tour.

Unique Experience ! - If you are short on time or just love seeing some unique wildlife, definitely take this tour while you are in Sydney. What a fun and unique experience. Dave is very knowledgeable about local wildlife. If you have a free day then add Dave’s Wild Wombat and kangaroo tour to your itinerary. You will not be disappointed.

See some beautiful bats and be back in time for lunch - I had one day left in Sydney before flying home and had already done the full day on Dave's Wombat and Kangaroo tour - this was a lovely shorter trip to see flying foxes in their preserve park. Dave is a fun and knowledgeable guide and always makes you feel welcome. He even gave me a recommendation for some other little stops to make before I went home and they were spot on! I had a wonderful last day being spontaneous and booking this last minute. Please support this great local small business in Sydney, do both Dave's tours if you have the time.
