I easily connected with the small group of 11 for this day trip, enjoyed the small van we took, and made friends who took pictures of each other. The private viewing of koalas was incredible, and the guide was willing to individually photograph each of us with the two koalas in a low tree we could reach. We were given packets of grass to feed the kangaroos and wallabies, toured the rest of the zoo-like adventure park, then left for more fun. We stopped several times along the ocean coast for pics then lunch at a swimming spot before traveling inland. The waterfall we saw was small compared to others in North America and the Caribbean, as we learned that Australia is the driest continent in the world, and low moisture equals small waterfalls. Finally, we ended at a winery for a wine-tasting flight each and charcuterie boards. A non-drinker was well taken care of as well. When we thought the tour was complete, our guide spotted a field full of probably 40 wild kangaroos on the way back to the hotel. It was a wonderful day, and I'm so glad I chose this tour!

We loved seeing the animals in simbio wildlife park, especially the koalas and kangaroos. Great first stop for the day. Steven was very kind and full of all kind of information he shared along the way. We stopped at stanwell park for a beautiful view of the Oceanside and watched parasailed glide through the air while Steve shared information about the area. The stop at Fitzroy waterfall was beautiful. Centennial winery was nice too. Enjoyed the variety of wines we got to taste. It’s a long day but well worth it.

Overall an excellent full day (almost 12 hrs) outing. Steve (our tour guide) provided the perfect balance of useful information while remaining engaging. This tour was a great way to get out of the city and see the local wildlife and national parks. You never felt rushed, Steve worked in time stopping to visit those unscripted moments like watching cliff jumpers (with parachutes) and wild kangaroos. I highly recommend.

The whole experience was carefully curated. I didn’t feel rushed and we had plenty of time to explore and enjoy at each stop. Lunch was also quite delicious and the spot was beautiful!
The tour guides were exceptional! Very charismatic, friendly, and full of great info.
Even though we had a bit of rain for part of our tour, we didn’t miss a beat. And the guides came prepared with some spare umbrellas and sweaters.
*I had missed the departure time the day before and the company was able to move me to the next day tour. Now, I’m sure this was possible due to spots being open. Either way, I greatly appreciated that.
Also, fair warning, the first leg of the drive is full of winding roads. If you are susceptible to motion sickness, I suggest taking something before hand.
