One of a kind tour! - So awesome! Just a short drive out of the city and you see active bats in their habitat. Not one or two… hundreds! Dave was an awesome guide and helped us out with his own professional cameras and binoculars to use. Afterwards it connects to your phone and you download the pictures to it. Well thought out and one of a kind fun adventure I would recommend to anyone coming to Sydney!

Great value for amazing bat sighting! - Excellent experience! Worth it for the ride through town to the bat colony and the knowledge of the guide, Dave. In addition you get access to binoculars and great quality cameras for photos you will not get from your phone. Dave makes sure to get the photos downloaded to your device before you leave. And he had great refreshment options on the way back to the drop off. Totally worth the money. I highly recommend this trip.

Great day with Bats! - Dave was a great guide and delivered us a wonderful afternoon with bats! He was friendly and knowledgeable. The cameras that he provided were great and we got a lot of high quality pics. Drinks and assorted snacks were a nice touch and he brought us back to our hotel at the end. Dave was very personable and answered all our questions. Thanks Dave!

Amazing Flying Fox tour - This was an amazing experience seeing a large flying-fox camp. Dave is a fabulous guide and is not only extremely knowledgeable about the animals you will see (not just the Flying Foxes), but is also very personable and conscientious about his guests. The Flying Foxes were amazing to see congregating in the trees during the day. Mothers with babies. Males fanning themselves to cool off. Some flying tree to tree. Just a very wonderful experience. And, again, you won't find a better guide in Sydney than Dave !!!

Interesting tour to see giant bats. - Dave our guide was excellent, he shared his knowledge about the giant bats. He lent us binoculars, and even his cameras. Pickup time was on time. The 3 of us were happy about the trip, we are from US.

Best excursion ever and we are about 40/year. - Dave was a great side!! Just loved everything ab it t the tour. Super simple and easy trip. He had rinks and snacks too! He even offered to drive us back to whichever place they wanted near Sydney. He probably will wish I hadn’t put that. N Great description of the bats habits etc. close up photos and shared some of his own that were better than ours. Couldn’t ask for more.

Super Cute Furry Friends - Just batty! This was one of my favorite tours on vacation. I never dreamed of seeing so many bats at such close range. Dave takes care of everything from pickup at the Marriott, commentaries in the city and bat facts, refreshments and snacks, binoculars and camera to use, and return to your hotel. He made sure we saw the bats from their best angles and that we also saw various other birds and lizards in the park. He even made a special effort to return my husband's cap that he had left in the van. If you are a nature lover, don't miss this!
