Animal Encounter Days in Sydney

Blue Mountains Birdwatching Adventure

Fabulous bird filled day out

I had a fabulous few days with Simon on 2 birdwatching tours, it was a great escape from the bustle of the city. We visited Royal national park and the Blue mountains area over a 2 day period, and saw just over 100 species along with a diverse array of habitats, we also saw some whales and 2 antechinus. Simon himself is a very engaging guy who is very easy to talk to and has a very interesting wildlife background, his knowledge of birds and their habitats is exceptional, and I was amazed how he could find cockatoos high in the trees just from the sound of their munching on seeds. The sweet treats were the icing on the cake so to speak, we definitely walked these off in the search for our targets, not to mention the great coffee stops to start the day. The whole combination made for a perfect day out (well 2 in my case) and allowed me to experience parts of Sydney I would have never seen otherwise. I highly recommend Birding Sydney & Beyond and Simon for anyone interested in seeing the beautiful birds around Sydney, or just to see the national parks which are stunning. My favorite sightings were the Gang Gang Cockatoos, Satin Bowerbird (dancing) and the stunning New Holland Honeyeaters.

Private Luxury Intimate Whale Watching

Whale watching

Fantastic. One ticked off my bucket list. The skipper was great and got us exactly to the spots to get great views of the whales and for photos. We saw two pods and they came up really close to the boat. Plenty of tails, fins and jumps. Our whale expert Mette was brilliant and told us a lot of facts. Well worth the money.

Sydney Wildlife Safari

Awesome time!

Steve was great! Very knowledgeable and obviously passionate about his work. People who love what they do ALWAYS pass that vibe on to others as they teach. This was our 1st time in Australia and didnt know what to expect. Our tour group was small & private (just me, my wife, and another couple), which made it easier to ask questions and learn. We saw over 24 different kinds of bird species, wombats, kangaroos, wallabys, bats, massive termite mounds, sugar gliders, brush-tailed possums, oreo-cows (obvious nickname), and even a highland cow. All were new to us, and all were easy to find/spot in the wild. Steve provided lights, binoculars, lunch, a delicious dinner (with an alcoholic drink), and even jackets... not to mention full transportation and a personal experience. We had an absolute blast, and are really happy we got this tour! THANKS AGAIN, STEVE!
