Totally worth it!

I can highly recommend this tour! We’ve been keen on finding a platypus in the wild for ages, and we finally found one with this tour! Wendy was professional and warm, and had a really lovely mannerism about her. She was knowledgeable and thanks to her, we managed to follow one little guy for about 30 minutes - he was too cute! We then had a picnic breakfast afterwards and it was delish. So worth it! If you’ve been looking to see one of them out and about, you need to book this tour!

Maybe next time

It was a rainy morning. There were a few platypuses according to others in the group although I missed them! Still a great walk.
