About this activity
Spend 10.5 hours exploring Sydney's lesser-known natural landscapes and meeting Australia's iconic wildlife up close—kangaroos, koalas, and native birds—guided by a lifelong local who knows the hidden bushland spots tourists typically miss. This private, unhurried tour combines intimate animal encounters with scenic lookouts, beaches, and waterfalls, delivering an authentically Australian experience beyond the standard circuit.
Get ready for a full day exploring the quieter side of Australia. You’ll visit hidden bushland, meet iconic wildlife, discover scenic locations beyond the usual tourist routes, and experience the landscapes locals grow up loving.
This tour isn’t rushed. It’s designed to feel relaxed, personal, and genuinely Australian
