Review of Sydney’s Blue Mountains tour with a steep Wentworth Falls walk, Three Sisters views, local lunch, and practical tips for an active day out.

Review of a 13-hour Great Ocean Road tour from Melbourne with koalas, forest walks, the 12 Apostles, morning tea, and coastal stops.
“Fantastic day had with Warren on the Great Ocean Road trip! Weather was a bit mixed but nothing Warren could do about that despite his cheery jokes! Great craic and great views of the wild koalas, we were very lucky! Warren did his best to show us kangaroos and other bits and pieces along the way.”
Review of an active Blue Mountains day trip from Sydney with Wentworth Falls, Three Sisters, bushwalking, lunch, and Aussie snacks.
“It was a great day out, and the weather was kind all day. Kieran (aka 'snake man'!) our driver and guide was brilliant. He was knowledgeable, professional and kept us on time with the schedule. The lunch was very nice and very welcome after the climb down then up again from the Wentworth Falls. The climb up the Steps of Doom was a real workout, which was possibly played down a bit in the tour info! But really, the itinerary was varied and interesting. It made me want to go back to the Blue Mountains area again and explore some more.”

“Fantastic scenery with very good commentary and really delightful staff who made the day one of the best excursions in Tasmania Food great and wine local Tasmanian was top drawer”
Tour the SCG behind the scenes, from dressing rooms and media rooms to the museum, with lively stories of Australian sport.
“Our tour of the SCG with Stuart far exceeded our expectations. Stuart had so many interesting back- stories to share. He worked around two very large tours that were running at the same time, so that our snaller group could still enjoy every facet of each building, the history and the character of the SCG. The tour was well- paced in that we had ample time in every spot as well as plenty of photo ops. Stuart answered all our questions and engaged us by asking of our cricket memories. Our group was small and not all Australians but we bonded through a mutual love for cricket and respect for…”

See the Twelve Apostles, Loch Ard Gorge, wild koalas, kangaroos, and Otway rainforest on a long but rewarding day from Melbourne.
“What can I say? A full day out seeing kangaroos, emus and koalas in their natural environment. In addition some stunning views especially of the 12 Apostles. Included a lunch stop at Apollo Bay. Lauren, our guide and driver, was the best. Full of information and kept it lighthearted and was very flexible if people needed a comfort break. She played music that was apt for where we were at the time including the Dunnings advert when we had to do a pick up there. I would highly recommend booking with Wildlife Tours they look after you so well.”
