A day of learning and loving Australia! An incredible look at Australia south of Sydney. Brilliant views of mountain and cliff, sea and rainforest. A special stop for our tour at Symbio zoo-patting koalas and feeding kangaroos from our hands. Also many Aussie birds and animals and reptiles (didn’t pat those). Saw two national parks and wildlife and birds in their habitats. A most knowledgeable guide: birds, animals, culture and history- we learned a lot! A lovely lunch at seaside and day ended with wine tasting in a vineyard- magnificent tastes, views, animals, and birds. AND Greta people - what a thrill for us all!

Wildlife, Waterfalls, and Wine, Oh wow! We took our tour in February 2025 with Rohan. Rohan is an absolute pro who clearly loves his job and full of interesting and relevant information. His attention to detail and keeping track of the tour members, the schedule, and road was fantastic. I would recommend him and this tour (or any tour he gives) whole heartedly.

Well worth it! This tour was amazing and you shouldn't think twice about booking. It takes you through all the wildlife highlights you should see in Australia without the crowds. We arrived to the park before it opened which was great. Emma was an amazing tour guide who took care of us and showed us all the good spots. We enjoyed her wealth if information and friendliness. 10/10

A must in Sydney! This tour is amazing! You will have memories for a lifetime. Steve is very knowledgeable and accommodating. Each stop is worth it. My daughter and I particularly enjoyed the wildlife park. The up and close and personal with the animals was amazing!

Truly a Slice of Australia in Just One Day Highly recommend!! A great day outside the city, very well paced and tons of beautiful scenery along the drive. And we totally lucked out being paired with Steve - not only was he just a great guy to hang out with, but extremely knowledgeable feeding us nuggets of local history/facts throughout the day. There is a bit of driving and Steve was an expert driver - I’m usually prone to getting car sick, and even throughout the winding roads along the coast and through the Royal National Park, Steve was a total pro.

Incredible Day Incredible experience seeing all the wildlife and sights of Australia. We started off with an easy and straight forward pick up from our amazing guide Emma at the Marriott. After a lovely drive through a national park our first stop was at a local Wildlife park where we met some Koala’s (even got to see a Joey!), Kangaroo’s, Wallabies, Dingo’s and so much more, a really amazing experience and you really get up close to the animals. Next we went up to a look out point for some incredible views of the coast then back down for a lovely lunch right on a very lovely beach. After lunch we took a drive up to the mountains for a stunning view of a waterfall and some more animals! Finally we finished off at a delicious cheese and wine tasting experience which really topped off a perfect day. Our guide Emma really made the experience even more incredible with her vast knowledge of the wildlife and Australia in general! We really enjoyed her stories of her travels, experiences and her incredible sense of humour, she had us laughing all day! Thank you again Emma for making this experience feel incredibly personal and enjoyable!

Tony our guide provided us with plenty of information about the areas we drove through and visited. His vast knowledge and great people skills made our journey with a small group a very pleasant one. There was a lot of driving involved but it was worth the trip. We enjoyed petting koalas, feeding kangaroos, sightseeing, walking along a waterfall and tasting wine in a nice boutique winery.

Once in a lifetime experience! From start to finish - this incredible adventure will never be forgotten. Our tour guide (the “other” Steve) was beyond knowledgable on all of the native flora and fauna - as well as having extensive knowledge on all the animals at the wildlife park, and even in depth insight into the wines we were about to taste, giving a wonderful introduction to the vineyard - before we even stepped foot inside!

A fun filled adventure day that ticks so many boxes. The van was clean and safely driven, the group wasn’t too big and getting to the wildlife enclosure before it was open to the public was worth the price alone!!

Best money I’ve ever spent!

Thank you so much

Our guide Steve was not only hilarious, but he was very knowledgeable about Australia's animals, history, geology, geography, wines...and talked with us like a friend would and not some stuffy professor. He made the day truly special! Oh, and he also arranged for perfect weather - well done, Sir! :)
The koala experience happens before Simbio opens and you're given plenty of time to spend with the koalas. Hand feeding kangaroo and wallaby, and emu....blows my mind! A wallaby held my hand! Who gets to do that?!? We did! The rest of the park is also something not to be missed.
The waterfall was so beautiful and a fairly easy little walk. There are some stairs to two of the viewpoints, but even if you don't go all the way to the furthest one, you still get a clear, gorgeous view from the second viewpoint with less stairs to manage if needs be.
The wine was nice and the snacks served with it are plentiful and enhance the experience as well. The views of the vineyard - so very lovely!
On the way back into Sydney we made a tiny detour to see wild kangaroos just hanging out in a farmer's field. The whole drive this day, once we got out of the city, was just stunning. Even the giant "potato".
This was time and money very well spent and truly was our favorite day in Australia. I hope you decide to take this tour!

Thoroughly Knowledgeable guide, great tour. I’ve been on solo tours all around the world, but this one certainly stood out to me. They definitely fulfill all promises and it was super fun! Loved the wine (and I’m not typically a drinker), the animals were super cute, and the waterfall walk was very doable.

The “Wildlife, waterfalls and wine” tour delivers an ecompassing experience, like a sampling of Australia’s best features. We had a very satisfying close encounter with cute animals, pristine national parks, amazing views, good wine, and charming small communities. The guide rounded all that with insights into the Australian history, geogragphy, culture, and daily life. This day trip is very rewarding and comfortable at the same time.

We had a great tour. Each of the four stops was worth the price of the ticket on its own. From feeding wallabies by hand to breathtaking beach views to the majesty of Fitzroy Falls and the Blue Mountains to intimacy at the winery, it was a very memorable day. Steve's encyclopedic knowledge of local history, geology, flora and fauna added real depth. I would recommend the day to anyone but particularly when you are still a little jet lagged and want to look around without having to handle the logistics yourself.

What an amazing and one-of-a-kind experience! The best experience of the dozens I've taken I've taken worldwide. These memories, images, and videos will forever live in my heart and mind. Petting the Koalas, feeding the Kangaroos, and Wallabies was the highly of this trip. Our tour guide Rohan was incredible, full of knowledge and thoughtful throughout our tour. We also tour some waterfalls, and a very famous winery were artist like Sting, Cindy Lauper, Fatboy Slim, and other well know artist have performed. I would do this tour all over again, once I return to Sydney. This tour company is a world class act, top notch, and attention to detail is amazing. I highly recommend this tour; you're going to have a lot of fun and not want to leave the Symbio Wildlife Park.

Terrific trip Absolutely wonderful experience. Unique experience with animals, beautiful views, and a nice wine tasting. Tony was the best guide we have ever encountered, and engagingly volunteered a wealth of insight into all aspects of the trip as well as Australia in general. It was a great use of our relatively limited time in Sydney.

Making Memories! This whole day was amazing. Steve was our tour guide and was nonstop enthusiastic about all the flora and fauna surrounding us. He imparted historical, geographical, and ecozone information continually during the tour. The tour bus was comfortable and we were able to hear everything the guide said because he used a microphone/speaker system. The stop at Symbio and the private close contact there with the animals was the essence of the visit to Australia. The extensive sightseeing, delicious lunch, and the winetasting were icing on the cake. We had a thoroughly enjoyable time with many memories created that day.

Don't hesitate; book today! This tour was absolutely amazing! I was only in Sydney for six days; this was the perfect way to get out of the city and see more that Eastern Australia has to offer. Getting up close with koalas, wallabies and kangaroos was a dream come true, and I loved being able to get in before the park opened. The views were spectacular throughout the journey and we learned so much about the flora and fauna of the area. The wine was delicious and I enjoyed the snacks that came with the tasting.

Truly the best part of the tour was our guide, Steve. He answered all of our questions knowledgeably (and some were very random) and it really felt like he was sharing his hometown with us. I cannot recommend this tour enough!

Amazing visit to Australia Excellent excursion! Guide was knowledgeable and friendly. Tour was a good pace with plenty of bathroom breaks. You get exactly what the title of the tour says Amazing wildlife encounters, breathtaking waterfall views and a lovely wine tasting. We definitely recommend it to anyone visiting. The small group size was perfect!

The Best Tour in Sydney An incredible once in a lifetime experience. The Koalas at Symbio were a sight to see & Steve was a world-class guide. My wife and I did several tours we found through trip advisor on our stay in Sydney and this was by far our favorite.

Best day ever! Emma was absolutely fantastic. She was a great driver, host, photographer and so knowledgeable. This was the best tour of our 2 month trip around the world. We had 3 in our group with 8 in the van. The van was comfortable and clean. The private time with the koalas and hand feeding the kangaroos was unforgettable. The itinerary was a nice pace, lunch was delicious and the wine was superb. We paid over $1000 USD for private tours for our group that were no where near the quality of this small group tour. We are a picky group and everyone said it was the best day. Do not hesitate. We are going back to Sydney soon and hope to do the tour again!

This is the tour you must do while visiting Sydney. Steve, the guide, is so friendly and knowledgeable. You truly get to see some of the best that this region of Australia has to offer. And, you finish the day with delicious wine!

Wildlife, Waterfall and Wine Tour Great tour and highly recommended! Steve (other Steve) was a walking/driving encyclopedia! A fantastic way to see the different areas around Sydney.

Thanks for the experience! Awesome tour!
Had the best time ever!
Steve surprised me with his knowledge about different plants and birds, i really learned A LOT from both guys. They were really friendly and funny.
Highly recommended !

Petting koalas, feeding kangaroos and sampling wine - great trip! Very knowledgeable and fun guides. Memorable experience being able to interact with the koalas, kangaroos and wallabees. Great value and fun way to spend a day in Australia.

10/10 excellent way to spend a day Amazing trip, great experience to see amazing scenery. Great guide, learnt lots
Amazing to be able to get so close to a koala

An amazing taste of the Sydney coast This was an absolutely amazing trip which really has something for everyone. I booked it for my daughter’s 20th birthday and it really didn’t disappoint. Steve, our tour guide, was extremely knowledgeable and made the day fun and exciting. From cuddling koalas and kangaroos, to lunch on a beautiful beach, walking to spectacular waterfalls and then wine tasting-the trip has it all. It is honestly the best day trip I have ever been on and I would thoroughly recommend this to everyone.

Amazing Tour We had a fantastic day with Steve, he was very charismatic and planned an amazing tour for us. I appreciated how knowledgeable he was about the area and local wildlife and he always had some great stories which also contributed to our great day. Could not recommend it enough! We were extremely close to the koalas and the kangaroos and getting to the wildlife park before it opened to the public made our experience exponentially better! The wine and cheese tasting at the most beautiful winery was a perfect end to the day.

I wasn’t sure what to expect but it was a much better experience than I could’ve hoped for. I don’t want to give too much away and give anyone any expectations, but it was a full day (7am-2pm I think) of exploring all over and learning about Sydney. Steve, the gentleman who runs it, was very knowledgeable, and fun to listen to. I would recommend this experience to anyone looking for someone to spend a day having fun with a bunch of strangers looking to do the same.

Karien made this day absolutely magical. She is a phenomenal guide and a lot of fun! We had an unforgettable time. The wildlife tour was amazing, feeding emus, kangaroos, wallabys, and petting koalas was amazing. The waterfall tour was lovely and made even better by Karien's knowledge. The wine tasting was a magnificent end to a lovely day - I can't recommend the Raspberry Nectar enough!

Rowan, our driver was fantastic. He was very informative and the trip was great. Zoo petting the Kangaroos and Kolas were the highlights. Very professional and on time. Would highly recommend this company.

What an amazing way to spend the day in Sydney! The other Steve brought all the wit and wisdom to make our experience so memorable. Highly recommend this experience!

Wow, this experience completely surpassed our already high expectations! The whole day is a beautifully curated once in a lifetime experience that allows participants to enjoy the best of Australia without having to lift a finger or extensively research options that wouldn’t match the quality of the day Steve has woven together for his guests anyway. If you want a peaceful, beautiful and fun experience this is absolutely the one you want.

An adventure we will never forget. We just finished our tour with Steve and this was a high lite of our trip to Sydney. Steve was extremely personable and took the time to get to know each of us. It was a small group (only 10 in our group). The wildlife visit allowed us to get up close with Koalas and Kangaroos. We never felt rushed and everything was coordinated ahead of our visit. For example our lunch order that we selected was called ahead so when we arrived at the restaurant we were served immediately. No waiting to order or waiting for the food to be prepared. The same happened at the winery visit. Everything was coordinated so well it maximized our time at each location.

We highly recommend this tour. One of the best we have experienced.

A Day Trip with Something for Everyone! We have nothing but good things to say about our day trip. Our tour guide Steve was timely, well prepared, entertaining, and very pleasant to be around. We started the day off at a wildlife park where we had a private encounter with koalas, fed kangaroos/wallabies, and saw the other animals that Australia is famous for (a wombat, crocodiles, etc.). Next we headed off to lunch at a place overlooking the Pacific Ocean where we had the opportunity to take a dip in an ocean pool. After lunch, we did a guided bush walk that took us past 2 waterfalls. Lastly, we went to a winery where we were given a paddle of wines to sample while we munched on some charcuterie. Highly recommend this day trip, as there really is something for everyone!

Great trip, superb guide. We where at the most wonderful trip on Christmas Eve with our guide Steve, and a small group of people. So much knowledge, extremly thoughtful and great personality, couldn’t ask for a better guide. The koalas where the highlight, but everything was great. Thanks Steve!

100% would recommend regardless of time in Sydney My favorite tour i’ve been on! I never felt rushed at any of the locations and they had a great variety on what to do. Food was amazing and we did not have to sit through any crowds! 100% would recommend. You really do get close with the animals!

Best tour I’ve ever been on! Great experience! My husband was even impressed and he never is. Spending time with the animals was amazing. This tour was well worth the money spent and I would recommend this to anyone, you won’t be disappointed.

One fantastic day! Couldn't recommend more! We travelled with a big family group, many of them had never been to Australia before. Luckily, the tour is tailored for first-time visitors and covered many bases (informationally, culturally, and explorational). The private zoo experience was next level and it turned even our biggest curmudgeon into a ray of sunshine.
From just one day, our photo gallery is unparalleled and our friends couldn't believe this was a single day of content.
Steve was exceptionally knowledgeable, eloquent, and warm.
Already we have recommended several friends to this experience so book quickly!

Amazing tour- highly recommend! We had a fabulous time with the other Steve! So much fun, and we really had the opportunity to interact with the animals which was the highlight of the trip. Enjoyed every minute! Steve was very knowledgeable and entertaining and we felt very safe the entire trip. I would highly recommend this tour if you have a short period of time and you want to see a lot!

I can't say enough good things about this tour! The stops were well planned and well executed with just the right amount of time at each. The views were incredible! The commentary from the guide was interesting and informative. Rohan is the best tour guide I've ever had, full stop!

Perfect way to spend a day! Truly fantastic day! Every aspect was fabulous! Koala and kangaroo encounter was fantastic. Lunch was delicious. Waterfalls were stunning. Wine and charcuterie were a perfect way to wrap up a super fun, informative, and enjoyable day!

Great experience Wonderful! Perfect day with a variety of activities and a very knowledgeable guide. Highly recommend.

Great 3w-day trip Great tour with Steve, a very knowledgeable and fun guide. As promised cuteness overload in the wildlife park, nice lunch at the sea side, lovely walk to see the waterfall. Great way to finish off the tour with wine tasting. Very satisfied with this 3w-day trip.

Awesome day tour! This full day tour was exactly what I was looking for! My husband was working so I signed up solo and the guide (Rowan) took excellent care of me. Getting out of the heart of Sydney and starting the day at Symbio Wildlife Park before the general public was incredible! Feeding the kangaroos and taking photos with the koalas was an experience I'll never forget. Lunch was excellent with plenty of options and ending the day with wine was perfect. Highly recommend this tour!

Exactly what it says on the tin! I’m really interested in wildlife and was so excited to get up close and personal with Koalas, Wallabies and Kangaroos at Simbio park. We were able to touch these beautiful creatures and were privileged to see a couple of joeys during our visit. Rohan, our guide, made sure we had plenty of time to wander around for ourselves and gave us lots of information to help us make the most of the trip! After the Park we went for a really good lunch at a beachside café, then on to the waterfall and a comfortable walk in the National Park. We rounded off the day with a wine tasting at Centennial Vineyard. Rohan was the perfect guide throughout and kept us entertained and looked after all day. I think I took more photos during this trip than at any time during my first stay in this incredible country.

Just do it! It’s awesome It was amazing the other Steve was our tour guide. Really knowledgeable and fun! This was the highlight of our trip!

Amazing tour! Tony was great! We had a fantastic time and our guide Tony was a wealth of information. We saw Koalas and Kangaroos and had a delicious lunch. I would highly recommend this tour!

Fabulous all-day scenic tour of Aussie wildlife, nature, & wine I would give this tour 10 stars if that was an option! This is the REAL deal as far as all-day, full Aussie experiences go! Our tour guide, “the other Steve”, was fantastic .he gave such interesting facts about Australia throughout the entire tour as we drove along the coast & countryside of southern Sydney. He stopped along amazing scenic ocean viewpoints, where photos don’t do justice to the breathtaking views we got to see/experience! The Symbio Wildlife Park was awesome getting upclose to pet koalas & feed kangaroos, wallabies & an emu was unbelievable! We had a delicious lunch at Bulli Beach with more fabulous views & then we headed to Fitzroy Falls for a short hike to see these beautiful Australian views of the canyon & mountains. We ended the day at Centennial Winery where we enjoyed a nice wine tasting & light snacks along with more beautiful views of this wine region. I could go on & on but trust me, look no further when booking your full-experience Aussie excursion while visiting Sydney .you won’t be disappointed it was simply wonderful!! Thank you to “the other Steve” for providing my family such a memorable experience! ;-)

A MUST IN SYDNEY An unbelievable experience all around! You truly get to see and do so much and without feeling rushed in any way. The wildlife experience was by far the most incredible part of the day - getting to touch and interact with koalas and kangaroos is unmatched!!!! The "other” Steve was funny, personable and such a great tour guide. This truly is a day trip must if you're in Sydney.

Great Day Out from Sydney. Great day out. Great experiences and scenery. Everything that was advertised was accomplished. The Other Steve was entertaining and educational keeping you interested and informed the whole day. I would recommend this trip to anyone wanting to experience everything the area south of Sydney has to offer.

Perfect day trip A perfect day trip to experience all the things Sydney has to offer. I was only in Sydney for about 48 hours, so to be able to experience so much in a day was exactly what I was looking for. Other Steve is a lovely tour guide

Perfect day south of Sydney This was an amazing experience. It truly was a small group. There were only 5 people. Everything was a bit off the beaten path which was perfect. No crowds. The koala and kangaroo experiences alone were worth the trip. I felt like we saw so much as it was. Long day but south of Sydney is really beautiful. We saw beaches and mountains and waterfalls. Tony was a fantastic guide. I am not a tour person but this was the perfect and most efficient way to spend the day. Do not think twice you should do this. It was way better than I expected

Fantastic day out! Fantastic day out! ‘The other Steve’ was a great guide, knowledgeable, funny & very interactive. A great balance of activities & lovely to see parts of Sydney & surrounding areas that you wouldn’t usually see as a city tourist. Highly recommend!

This is a tour I couldn't recommend more highly. I went with my wife and we were joined by two other travellers and our guide: 'the other Steve'. The tour presents an amazing opportunity to discover so much more about the Australian countryside around the Sydney area. It's difficult to understand how so many experiences can be packed into one day without feeling rushed but this nailed it. None of the stops disappointed and my wife and I are finding it difficult to pinpoint our favourite but ultimately think it was probably the warm, welcoming and knowledgeable guide who brought it all together. 10/10, Don't hesitate to book this bad boy.

My favorite tour to date! We had the best time and were so grateful to have "other" Steve, or as like to think of him The Amazing Steve, be our tour guide. He was fun, funny, kind, and so knowledgeable about everything on the tour and then some. The tour bus was comfortable, clean, and Steve was a great driver. The pace of the day was perfect, we spent just the right amount of time in all of our locations and the views the entire time were beautiful . The left side of the bus might have had slightly better views though - just a suggestion. Really a lovely drive. Our lunch was super yummy and had a beautiful view. My husband and I felt so fortunate to experience everything, but the waterfall and feeding kangaroos may have been my favorite. We were lucky enough enough to also see wild kangaroos at dusk! This day was probably my favorite of our entire trip. Thank you for having us!

An expertly crafted tour This is a tour I couldn't recommend more highly. I went with my wife and we were joined by two other travellers and our guide: 'the other Steve'.

Worth it! My husband and I made a (far too) quick 48 hour stop in Sydney, and decided to book this tour, for 1 of our 2 days- and we're so happy we did! Steve is a friendly, knowledgeable, passionate guide, and I'd recommend this all day tour to anyone looking to experience the 3 W's just outside of Sydney.

An extremely fun all day trip Everyone who went had a fantastic time! Our tour guide was fun to be around and highly knowledgeable. This experience is well worth it, especially since you get to feed the Roos and pet the koalas.

The best tour you could pick! This is the best tour you could pick! The drive was great-we learned a bunch all about the area and where we were going, etc. It was nice to see areas we wouldn't have been able to see easily without renting a car. Lunch was great, the park was great and you get to pet the Koala's and feed the Kangaroos (and walk around the whole park which is super nice). The hike was easy and fun and beautiful, and the wine tasting was a nice way to whined down the day. It may feel like a lot in one day but it wasn't, especially because everything was so wonderful and fun. We never felt rushed. Our tour guide (Other Steve) was the best!! Highly Recommend!! If you do one tour in Sydney-do this one!

Highlight of my trip to OZ! This tour exceeded expectations in every way. Guide commentary was intelligent and interesting, while the stops were all wonderful, from the interactions with koalas and kangaroos to the amazing waterfall and the winery. I’m a wine snob, so I was really pleasantly surprised by the high caliber of the wines! The vehicle was clean, comfortable, and air conditioned, and the small group size made the experience really relaxed and intimate—not at all like a touristy tour. Hands down one of the best tours I’ve done in the Antipodes!

Best (and unique) tour away from Sydney! “Other” Steve was an amazing guide! My family and I learned so much from his input and all the places we visited and would recommend it to anybody visiting Sydney soon! ☺️

We loved the pacing because it was laid back but we did so many things around the South Coast in just a few hours! Since the tour is also arranged for a small group, our guide was very hands-on and everything was very personalized!

By far, one of my best experiences here in my holiday in Sydney!
