Animal Encounter Days in Sydney

Whale Watching Adventure Cruise

Wonderful experience!

Loved the entire tour - the boat ride was so fun and we saw 2 whales (one adult and one calf). We even saw the calf breach!! They brought us back 15 minutes earlier since we saw the whales pretty quickly, but I would have loved to spend that time in the boat. We were also not able to stand up in the boat due to choppy waters but people in the big boats were able to stand. This is obviously not their fault but just something to know. 100% recommend.

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. Get booking with them
