Our take
Most Sydney wildlife days stop at a zoo on the way to the Blue Mountains. This one goes south instead, to the coast and the Southern Highlands, to see wombats and kangaroos in the wild, and the listing guarantees sightings. It has one of the highest ratings of any day trip we compare, close to 5 from well over a thousand reviews, and we mention it in our things to do in Sydney guide as the wildlife day out of the city.
It is a long one: about 10.5 hours, with a 1,400 ft clifftop lookout, waterfalls including Fitzroy Falls, a walk at dusk when the animals come out, dinner at a historic pub and stargazing away from city light. Dinner and soft drinks are included, plus snacks and water, and on departures before noon a lunch at a well-known pie shop. Groups are capped at 19. It meets in Hyde Park opposite the Sheraton Grand, near St James station.
Good for
- Seeing wild wombats and kangaroos rather than zoo animals
- A day in the country when you have already done the Blue Mountains
Think twice if
- You want the Three Sisters. This tour goes south, not west
- Small children who will not last until after dark
