From penguins to rain forests…

A full day experience starting with a visit to a small lovely zoo. The penguins and pademelons were so cute! Lots of cuddly koalas too. A pleasant drive into the mountains and almost 3 hours at Scenic World. Our guide Aaron was delightful and a champion Dad joke teller!!

Surfing Lessons on Sydney's Bondi Beach

Roberto_R, Sep 2026

Great Introduction

A bit of walking involved, but getting to a good spot to start the lesson was worth it. Make sure you are rested or are really conditioned to work through the jetlag. The session was great & informative, the instructor I got was super patient & really motivating; thanks to him I was able to kneel and really balance myself all the way back to shore without flipping over. Next time I'll make sure to go fully rested & conditioned; Great booking 55 🏄‍♂️

A Wheelie Wonderful Tour with Stuart

We had a fantastic bike tour with Stuart. It was such a great way to see this amazing city from so many different locations and take in some incredible views along the way. Stuart was a brilliant guide - friendly, knowledgeable and genuinely interesting to listen to. He made sure everyone was looked after throughout the tour and kept the whole experience relaxed and enjoyable. A really fun way to explore the city and see so much more than you would on foot. I would definitely recommend this tour!

Super fun way to spend your day in Sydney

Super easy on and off at the ferry, beautiful views of the bridge and opera house. The zoo was amazing, spent the whole day there. There are various animal encounters you can donate to and see animals up close: koalas, dingos, giraffes, just to name a few. I definitely recommend this experience. Exceeded all expectations.

Learn to Surf at Sydney's Maroubra Beach

Ruth_R, Aug 2026

We were originally going...

We were originally going to be surfing at Maruba beach but we had to change it to Bondi because of the weather and the waves being rough. The workers were really nice and helpful, we unfortunately couldn’t surf as long at Bondi because of thunderstorms but they were super kind and gave us the option to reschedule or get tshirts. Overall good experience despite all the sudden weather issues!

Beautiful scenery and good conversations.

I had a limited amount of time to spend, this was not my first time in Sydney, and I wanted to focus on the outdoor scenery. This tour certainly delivered. The afternoon tour I took ended up being just me. The lovely guide who gave me the tour, Lucia, covered a lot of especially Sydney’s eastern beaches, in a relatively short time. Lucia was very knowledgeable and the conversations flowed naturally. I also appreciated how there were some opportunities to explore some areas on my own. In particular, I wanted to see Bondi Beach again because it is such an iconic part of a visit to Sydney, but also to pay my respects to the local Jewish community who suffered a profound loss in December 2025. Throughout the afternoon, Lucia put things into historical context in a fun, conversational way.

Do it!

What a fun way to see Sydney Harbour from the water. You won’t have time to gaze long at the sights, and cameras and phones are not allowed, but you will see it all, albeit while spinning, swerving, and jumping waves! There is a locked box on the dock where you’ll be able to stow valuables or anything you don’t want to get wet - and you WILL GET WET; but you’ll be provided ponchos that will mostly keep your clothes dry.

Safe, smooth unforgettable way to see Sydney

Absolutely book this! It was my first time ever in a helicopter and now I want to do one of these that every scenic place I visit. It was such a smooth ride and I really enjoyed how the pilot pointed out all of the cool things to see below. Even though it was only a short amount of time it felt like a long tour because we saw so much! Very professional and I felt extremely safe.

Shelly beach Snorkel B and B

If you enjoy snorkelling this is the trip for you. There is a huge variety of fish to see and if you are lucky the turtle will come and swim with you. Groups are small and our guide Laura was very attentive and ensured we got the best experience ensuring everyone was comfortable with their gear throughout the snorkelling trip. We started with a hike overlooking Shelly beach as seen on the Bold and Beautiful! So thrilled we made it here.
