Amazing Bats Day - Dave was the perfect tour guide - attentive and interesting. We have never seen bats at such close range - made possible by his binoculars. Strongly recommended.

Amazing, amazing,... - Amazing, amazing, amazing!!!!!! Seeing this majestic flying foxes in their natural habitat was nothing short of unbelievable. Our tour guide Dave knew exactly where to find them and even gave us fancy cameras to take photos with. Great experience. If you are in Sydney this is a must.

Totally worth it! - This tour was even better than I expected. The tour is well organized yet very relaxed, you never feel rushed. The guide Dave is friendly and knowledgeable, the snacks and bottled water is a nice addition. But the most impressive thing is the animal encounter, seeing bats in the wild in big numbers flying around, climbing trees or chilling together was amazing, the good provides you with a camera and binoculars to make this even better. Book this tour, it’s totally worth it!

Bats! Bats! BATS! - Super fun! Dave is such a great guy and the adventure was epic! My kids were allowed to use the camera, it totally made their day. Dave told us about the bats and let us use his fancy cameras and binoculars. We got to see some neat orb weaver spiders, but oh my gosh the bats! It was so fun! Definitely worth it!

Fascinating Flying Foxes - I have never seen a flying fox so the idea was intriguing! Dave picked us up in central Sydney and drove us to the bat location, filling us in on all the bat information possible plus other interesting facts about Australia and its wildlife. Once we arrived I was astounded at the number of bats and how visible they were. Watching them fly about, argue amongst themselves was amazing. We also saw a bush turkey, spiders and a range of pretty birds. Dave brought a number of good cameras for us to use to get better pictures and then downloaded these to our phones! All very well planned. This was a really enjoyable and fascinating trip!

Flying Flying Fox Experience, truly lives up to its name, there were thousands of Australia’s Largest Bat. - This tour with “Perfect Day Sydney” was more than we expected. Dave, our tour guide and driver was so organized. He had water, fruit, snack bars, both sweet and savory snacks, hand wipes, bug spray, and charging battery packs, the most complete list of items. Dave is full of facts, he is engaging, considerate and funny. We drove to the location where the bats were. OMGosh!! We had no idea how many flying fox there would be. He was more than happy to help take photos of us with many bats in the background. When we were back in the van to head home, he air dropped some of his photos from the day. This trip is great for any age! Highly recommend!
